AB - This study aims to empirically analyze what factors are associated with support for foreign aid among Koreans. Especially in the context of increasing income inequality and growing social tension, this study investigates how perceptions of inequality, fairness, and the role of the government are linked with support for foreign aid provision and budget expansion. For empirical analyses, ordinal logistical regression analysis is employed to test hypotheses, utilizing data from 2023 Inequality and Fairness National Awareness Panel Survey. The results show that the perception of exacerbating domestic inequality is significantly and negatively associated with support for foreign aid expansion while the former is not significantly associated with the support for foreign aid provision. Meanwhile, it finds that those who regard need-based distribution as fair are supportive of foreign aid. Furthermore, the perception of the government’s active role in ensuring fair distribution and reducing income disparities is positively and significantly associated with its provision of foreign aid and expansion. Additional analyses reveal that lower-income, younger, more conservative, and more equality-sensitive respondents are likely to oppose foreign aid expansion. This study positively contributes to the sustainability of the Korean aid by empirically analyzing factors associated with support for it.
