It dramatically improved the lives of South Koreans, a society with now one of the world\u2019s longest life expectancies. Despite the progress that South Korea has made, inequality is still a challenge for society. It can begin at a young age for those who identify as a \u201cdirty spoon,\u201d but is also built into society at the level of gender. Inequality does not fade with age. South Koreans also face one of the developed world\u2019s highest levels of old-age poverty. Troy Stangarone will present his thoughts on inequality in South Korea and the broader impact that they have on society.<\/p>\n<p>Featured Speaker<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3189\" src=\"https:\/\/kuwf.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/event2-255x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kuwf.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/event2-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/kuwf.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/event2.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><br \/>\nTroy Stangarone<\/p>\n<table width=\"630\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"630\"><strong>Troy Stangarone <\/strong>is Senior Director and Fellow at the Korea Economic Institute of America (KEI).
