The object of this research is to analyze the aspects of multidimensional inequality between generations in order to identify various demands of welfare in Korea. Using Korea Welfare Panel Study, four dimensions (income, education, health and residential property) were analyzed. The main results are as follows. First, the current elder generation showed the lowest resource level in the dimension of income, education and health, but showed the highest in residential property among generations. Second, the multidimensional inequality within the elder generation seemed to be higher than those in other generations. Third, the common notion that the Baby Boomer generation comparatively has gained more benefits than other generation was not proved. The results of this research imply that the multidimensional policies over generations are need in order to reduce inequality in our society.
