Abstract

Korea, like most of other countries, is enforcing the national pension as social insurance which is a kind of the income policy. Despite the fundamental limitation on public pension or the imperfect policy, the guarantee of the minimum living standard for maintaining dignity of human being is not being reached for the standard. Poverty rate of the elderly in Korea is the first among the OECD countries and public pension dead zone is very large. The elderly low income class could become a serious social problem if low fertility and aging keep getting worse. In this study, I will analyze the present condition of the retirement security for the elderly in South Korea. Also, I will look into the present situation of old-age income security and determine problems, and propose the improvement devices for related laws.

우리나라도 대부분의 국가와 마찬가지로 직접적인 소득보장정책의 일환으로 사회보험방식에 의한 국민연금제도를 시행하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 제도의 미비 또는 공적연금의 본질적 한계로 인하여, 고령자에게 실질적인 "인간의 존엄성을 유지하기 위한 최저생활의 보장"에는 미흡한 실정이고, 노인의 빈곤율은 OECD 국가들 중 1위이고, 공적연금의 사각지대도 매우 크다. 향후 저출산과 고령화가 더욱 진전될 경우 고령 저소득층의 문제는 심각한 사회문제로 폭발할 우려가 있다. 이 연구에서는 우리나라 노인의 노후소득보장에 관한 실태와 현황 분석과 현행 노인소득보장 법체계를 검토하고, 그 문제점을 도출해 개선방안을 마련하고자 한다.
