This dissertation analyzes the development and changing factors of class mobility in Korea baby boomers, focusing on the effect of heterogeneity among baby boomers. In order to do this, distinguished the types of class in to five groups that “professional manager class”, “semi-professional/white-collar class”, “sales/service class”, “subsistence-farming/technical post class”, “blue-collar class” estimate patterns of class mobility. Data used here are the thirteen waves(1998~2010) of Korean Labor Income Panel Study(KLIPS). The findings yielded from this study are as follows. First, the patterns of intragenerational class mobility is depending on classes. More specifically, mobility rates are lower classes(ex, subsistence-farming/technical post, blue-collar) and middle class are higher, while that of upper class(ex, semi-professional/ white-collar class, sales/service class) is lower. Second, the patterns of intergenerational class mobility between father and respondent reveals that both in cases of men and women, class transmission of sales/service class and farmer, blue-collar class are stronger than that of other classes. Third, categorized the types of change in class mobility states(dependent variable) into three groups; ascending vs keep vs descending mobility. The determining variables are age, marital state, education, gender, living area, father``s occupation. Based on the research results, the following policy implications can be drawn. First, social security system need to be reformed for baby boomers in poverty or labour market vulnerable classes. Since baby boomers in low lever class are more likely to be interrupted in their labor market career, then enacted for low level classes to be covered by the public pension as a qualified beneficiary. Moreover, vocational training and retirement planning programs for low level classes and specialized policy should be implemented to give incentive to the low level in low income class earn greater income so that they can break away from low income. Also, policies and programs that support should considering to property of baby boomers balance should be continuously expanded. The government should continue to develop the social safety net and support the low level classes entry into the middle class bracket.
