다자녀 가구 지원 정책의 효과에 대한 연구 -전기요금 감액, 자동차 취·등록세 면제를 중심으로-

초록

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of supporting policy for multi-child family. The average birthrate of Korea is significantly lower than those of OECD countries. Korean government has been making efforts to raise the birthrate by carrying out several policies in two directions: 1) the policies to increase birthrate and 2) the policies to support the family with children. Among the policies supporting family with children, we examined the policies on electric charge reductions and automobile acquisition tax exemption. Using the panel database of KIPF, we found that, for the same quantity of electricity, average electric charges of multi-child family have been decreased by 6,200 won. The patterns of electric usage also have been examined. After the policy, the electric charges of multi-child family have not changed while the quantities of electric usage have been significantly increased. That is, multi-child family responded to the electric charge reductions policy by increasing the electric usage. Regarding the automobile acquisition tax policy, multi-child family purchased 0.1 more new cars than ordinary family. Overall, automobile policy had more supporting effects for low income families and, for the SUVs, high income families received more benefits.
