Abstract
This paper presents educational mortality differentials in Korea. In particular, this study stresses that amongst young people the poorly educated have a higher mortality than the well-educated group. 1 This study agrees with findings from previous studies: there is a strong inverse relationship between education and all-cause as well as specific causes of mortality in Korea and education contributes to the wider inequalities in health in Korea. 2, 3Keywords
