Abstract
This study aims to examine the effects of income inequality on the facility accessibility among households in parenting period. For this, it used accessibility data from the Panel Study on Korean Children, income inequality data yielded from the Korean Labor & Income Panel Study, and information on local governments collected from KOSIS. Main findings are as follows: first, the urban area per ca-pita was positively related to accessibility inequality among all types of facility. Second, the average accessibility of culture facility or education/medical/ welfare facility was negatively related to facility accessibility inequality. Third, when all other factors are constant, income inequality increased accessibility inequality of leisure facility and education/medical/welfare facility. Fourth, accessibility inequality of culture facility was not significantly related to income inequality. Based on these findings, policy implications and future research directions were discussed.
