This study analyzes the factors influencing poverty-entry by discrete time hazard models based on pooling waves of the second through the eighth(2007-2013) Korean Welfare Panel Study. The results of the analysis are summarized as follows. First, persons who are older in age, persons who are bereaved, divorced or unmarried in comparison with married persons who have spouses, persons who don``t receive any private transfer income in comparison with those who receive private transfer income of less than five million won, the unemployed, the self employed, temporary employees in comparison with regular employees, the persons who don``t have jobs or persons who work in agriculture, forestry or fishery businesses in comparison with those who work in administration, education, health or welfare business, and the persons who don``t have jobs, persons who work in agriculture, forestry or fishery jobs, in simple labor jobs, or in service or sales jobs in comparison with those who work in office or specialized jobs are more likely to enter poverty. Second, persons who have higher educational attainment, persons who are healthier, persons who have more employed household members, persons who receive none or more than five hundred won of public transfer income in comparison with those who receive public transfer income of less than five million won, and persons who receive private transfer income of more than five million won in comparison with those who receive private transfer income of less than five million won are less likely to enter poverty. Third, persons who maintain a state of non-poverty for a longer period are less likely to enter poverty. The implications for preparing prevention measures of poverty-entry are as follows. First, economic policies which can create stable and high quality jobs should be established and carried out. Second, a social security system which can guarantee a certain level of income in case of loss or decrease of income due to unemployment or old age must be introduced and carried out. Third, it is necessary to expand, systematize and specialize active labor market policies. Fourth, an educational system in which every citizen can receive education without economic burden should be introduced. Fifth, a health security system which allows treatment for the poor without financial burden need to be introduced. Sixth, plans which can prevent family dissolution and support dissolved families need to be prepared.
