Abstract

This study examined the economic burden of middle age householders supporting their family. They could not prepare for their later life because they are supporting their parents and children in their unstable employment. This study examined how to decrease the burden of middle age householders. Using the Korea Welfare Panel Study, this study analyzed data by hierarchical regression. The result showed that age, gender, education, unemployed, ownership of the house, number of employees, monthly income, and family relationship satisfaction had an effect on the economic burden of support by middle age householders. Based on the result, the researchers offered political suggestions for decreasing the levels of economic burden of support by middle age householders.

본 연구는 노부모와 자녀를 경제적으로 부양하고 있는 중 장년기 가구주의 경제적 부양부담의 영향 요인에 관한 연구이다. 현재 우리 사회의 중 장년층의 고용환경은 안정적이지 않다. 그에 더하여 노부모와 자녀를 경제적으로 부양하고 있는 중 장년기 가구주들은 본인의 노후준비도 해야하는 경제적 부담이 상당히 큰 세대이다. 이 과정에서 불안정한 고용환경에 있는 중 장년기 가구주는 비자발적으로 자신의 노후준비에 소홀하게 되고, 향후 노인빈곤층으로 유입될 우려가 높아진다. 노령화 사회에서 노인빈곤층의 증가는 사회적 비용의 증가를 초래하고, 사회구성원 전체에게 부담을 가중시킬 우려가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 중 장년기 가구주의 경제적 부양부담에 영향을 주는 요인을 찾아 보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 한국복지패널의 데이터를 활용하였고, 연구대상은 40대-60대 중 장년기 가구주 중 노부모와 자녀의 경제적 부양을 동시에 하고 있는 사람들을 분석대상으로 하였다. 분석결과를 살펴보면, 본 연구에서는 연령, 성별, 교육수준, 미취업, 주거자가보유, 취업가구원수, 원소득, 가족관계만족도의 요인들이 중 장년기 가구주의 경제적 부양부담에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 중 장년기 가구주의 경제적 부양부담의 경감을 위해서는 교육정책, 사회보장 및 소득재분배정책, 고용정책의 정책적 대안이 필요할 것이다.
