Despite attention in the literature of intergenerational mobility (IGM) and the welfare state, it remains unclear about how “small” welfare states, South Korea and the United States in particular, play a role in promoting levels of IGM. This article compares levels of IGM using intergenerational elasticity (IGE) of income as well as alternative mobility measures during two study periods (1980‒1995 and 1996‒2015) between Korea and the US. Data come from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study in Korea and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics in the US. The article found no period effects on IGE in both countries; however, the Korean IGE decreased and the US’s IGE increased. These results confirm that Korea is more mobile than the US. Implications for the observed between-country differences in IGE levels in relation to sociocultural and institutional contexts of the welfare state are discussed.

韩国和美国的代际收入流动性比较:1980-1995 年和 1996-2015 年期间的变化

尽管文献中关注代际流动(IGM)和福利国家,但仍不清楚“小型”福利国家,特别是韩国和美国如何在提高 IGM 水平方面发挥作用。本文使用收入的代际弹性 (IGE) 以及替代流动措施比较了韩国和美国在两个研究期间(1980-1995 年和 1996-2015 年)的 IGM 水平。数据来自韩国的韩国劳动和收入小组研究和美国的收入动态小组研究。文章发现这两个国家的 IGE 都没有经期影响;但是,韩国的 IGE 下降,美国的 IGE 上升。这些结果证实韩国比美国更具流动性。
