Abstract

This study was attempted to verify the mediating effects of depression and physical health on the effect of Korean boomers' assets on life satisfaction. The 5th main survey data of the National Retirement Security Panel(KReIS) were used for this purpose. As a result, first, baby boomer's asset level has positive effect on life satisfaction. Second, the asset was able to confirm the positive effect of increasing physical health and satisfaction of life. Third, depression and physical health had a mediating effect between baby boomer's assets and life satisfaction. Based on the results of this study, policy suggestions were made to improve the life satisfaction by reducing the depression of baby boomers and improving physical health.

본 연구는 우리나라 베이비부머들의 자산이 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 데에 있어 우울감과 신체적 건강의 매개효과를 검증하기 위한 목적으로 시도되었다. 이를 위해 국민노후보장패널(KReIS) 5차 본조사 데이터를 사용하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 베이비부머의 자산수준은 삶의 만족도에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 자산은 신체적 건강을 증가시켜 삶의 만족도를 증가시키는 긍정적 영향력도 확인할 수 있었다. 셋째, 베이비부머의 자산과 삶의 만족도 사이에 우울감과 신체적 건강이 매개효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 베이비부머의 우울감을 감소시키고 신체적 건강을 증진시켜 삶의 만족도를 향상시킬 수 있는 정책적 제언을 하였다.
