Abstract

This study aims to empirically structure the patterns of consumption and their effects on depression among the employed baby-boomers who were born in 1955 to in 1963. We used the 5th wave of Korea Retirement and Income Study(KReIS) in 2013 (n=2,585). The Latent Profile Analysis(LPA) estimated the empirical patterns of consumption and then a multiple regression analyzed the effect of consumption patterns on depression. The LPA results showed that the consumption patterns consist of four groups: Basic life-oriented class, Social life-oriented class, Home-based lifestyle class, and Advanced consumption-oriented class. The working baby boomers' depression was associated with their consumption patterns. Specifically, the social life-oriented class showed significantly lower depression than the basic life-oriented class and advanced consumption-oriented class. Other associates with higher levels of depression were found as lower education, having no spouse, lower self-rated health, higher levels of physical limitation, having a diagnosed disability, lower satisfaction with leisure activities, lower income, and lower subjective economic status in this study. Based on the results of this study, we propose the need for specialized financial intervention better for baby-boomers' retirement preparation in Korea.

본 연구는 경제활동에 참여하는 은퇴 전 한국 베이비부머의 소비유형을 실증적으로 탐색하고, 유형별 소비가 우울에 미치는 영향을 검증하는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 잠재프로파일분석을 이용하여 베이비부머의 소비를 분석한 결과, 기초생활중심형, 사회생활중심형, 주거생활중심형, 고급소비중심형의 4가지 유형이 구조화되었다. 이러한 소비유형과 우울은 유의미한 상관관계가 있는 것으로 증명되었는데, 특히 사회생활중심형 소비유형과 비교하여 기초생활중심형과 고급소비중심형의 우울수준이 유의하게 높았다. 또한 교육수준이 낮을수록, 배우자가 없는 경우, 주관적 건강상태가 나쁜 경우, 신체기능에 제한이 있을수록, 장애진단을 받을수록, 여가활동에 만족하지 않을수록, 소득이 낮은 경우, 주관적 경제상태가 부정적일 때 우울수준이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 한국 베이비부머를 위한 특화된 노후준비 정책과 프로그램의 개발 필요성을 제언한다.
