Abstract

This study is empirically intended to look into the effects of basic income security on poverty elimination and life independence in income security policies. To achieve this, poverty elimination and life independence through the national pension and basic pension as old-age pension for basic income security and the unemployment benefit and livelihood benefit as employment insurance were determined as dependent variables. The 10th data from Korea Welfare Panel Study were used in the statistical package program to analyze these variables. The overall findings showed that the national pension and basic pension as part of the old-age pension had a positive effect on poverty elimination and life independence. The unemployment benefit and livelihood benefit of employment insurance were not significant and they were rejected. And poverty elimination had a significant effect on life independence and it was adopted. Consequently, the old-age pension is a pensionable income security policy given to all the elderly with lower income, which it is very useful for guaranteeing a basic income. Poverty elimination leads to life independence through the guarantee of a certain basic income, suggesting that they are closely related to each other.

본 연구는 소득보장 정책에서의 기본소득 보장이 빈곤해소와 생활자립에 미치는 영향력을 밝히는데 목적을 갖고 실증분석 하였다. 변수는 기본소득보장의 노령연금의 국민연금과 기초연금 및 고용보험으로서의 실업급여와 생계급여에 따른 빈곤해소와 생활자립을 종속변수로 하여 한국복지패널 10차 자료를 이용하여 통계 패키지 프로그램으로 분석하였다. 전체적인 결과를 보면 소득보장정책에서의 기본소득보장이 빈곤해소와 생활자립에 미치는 영향력은 노령연금의 일환인 국민연금과 기초연금이 빈곤해소와 생활자립에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 고용보험의 실업급여와 생계급여는 유의적이지 않아 기각되었다. 그리고 빈곤해소는 생활자립에 유의한 영향을 미쳐 채택되었다. 이는 노령연금은 모든 하위소득 노인에게 일괄적으로 지급되는 연금성 소득보장책으로 매우 기본적인 소득을 보장해 주는데 유용함을 뒷받침하고 일정한 기본소득의 보장을 통해 빈곤해소는 생활자립으로 이어져 상호 밀접한 연관성을 가짐을 시사한 것으로 결론지을 수 있다.
