演講內容：
Korea’s later-year poverty rate is the highest of any OECD country, and four times higher than the OECD country average. The yet-to-mature public pension system has exacerbated this spike in Koreans’ later-year poverty. In July 2014, the government introduced the social pension program with the Basic Pension Scheme (BPS), a means-tested, non-contributory pension for older people whose income is below a specified threshold. This presentation provides an overview of the current situation of old age poverty in Korea and introduces the effect of BPS, whether it reduced consumption poverty and material hardships among older adults.
