ABSTRACT

This study examined the effects of using the National Basic Livelihood Security System(NBLSS) in reducing economic hardship among low-income families. For this goal, this study analyzed data of low-income families from the Korea Welfare Panel Study [KOWEPS] and adopted the propensity score weight method to reduce selection bias. The main research findings were as follows. Compared with the regression analyses which controlled the variables that affect the use of the NBLSS, the propensity score weight method was more effective in reducing selection bias. However, even when the propensity score weight method was applied, the use of the NBLSS was not effective in reducing economic hardship among low-income families. Finally, the implications of this research for Korean social policy were discussed.
