학교급식의 경제적 파급효과 분석 : 서울특별시 친환경무상급식 사례를 중심으로

The pro-environmental and free school meal in Seoul has been expanded and implemented in phases since 2011, and large-scale budget is put annually into this policy. However, despite of the continuous budget execution so far, its economic impact has not been evaluated. In this context, this study measured the economic impact of pro-environmental and free school meal in the first year (2014) of this policy using an inter-industry analysis targeting all graders of elementary and middle schools benefited from the free school meal policy. In addition, the economic impact of it on other regions except for Seoul was also investigated utilizing an Interregional Input-Output Table. The analysis results revealed that the inducement effects in terms of production, add value, and employment by the budget execution of 579,230 million won in 2014 were respectively 1,069,704 million won, 453,192 million won, and 24.8 thousand people. In particular, the add value inducement effect (0.782) by a unit input of the budget indicated a higher effect than the average add value inducement effect (0.676) of domestic industries. The economic impact and production inducement effect on other regions other than Seoul was found to be 365,111 million won, and its add value inducement effect was shown to be 105,832 million won. Especially, in the case of wholesale and retail service industry, agriculture, livestock industry, and food manufacturing industry which are closely connected with the food material supply, the economic impact of other regions except for Seoul appeared higher compared to other industries.
