This thesis explores poverty in South Korea. Elderly poverty has been regarded as one of the most urgent issues in Korea, so the first chapter analyses the trends and determinants of elderly poverty, while the second chapter decomposes the anti-poverty efficacy and efficiency of the Korean public transfer programmes. The third chapter identifies the effect of COVID-19 on poverty and household livelihood which is a contemporary and urgent issue. In addition, this thesis adopts relatively new research designs in each chapter to identify more relevant findings and implications.
