Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide meaningful implications for the establishment and implementation of social welfare policies for one-person households and to investigate the structural relationship between social participation and social support of one-person householders on their quality of life. As a result of the analysis, it was found that there was a positive correlation between the three variables. The direct and indirect effects of social participation on the quality of life were significant, and the social support partially mediated the relationship between social participation and quality of life. Therefore, it will be necessary to establish a welfare policy system that can promote social support by improving the quality of life of one-person households by providing concrete and diverse ways to activate social participation. Subsequent researches should be dealt with a more in - depth qualitative research on the concrete realization of this.

개인주의 확대 및 가족관계 해체 등으로 1인 가구는 계속 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 본 연구는 1인 가구를 위한 사회 복지 정책을 수립하고 시행하는데 의미 있는 시사를 제공하고자, 1인 가구의 사회적 참여와 사회적 지지가 그들의 삶의 질에 미치는 영향력에 대한 구조적 관계를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 국내 1인 가구 547명을 대상으로 온라인 설문조사를 진행했으며, 분석 방법으로는 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 상관분석과 구조방정식모형분석을 실시했다. 분석 결과 세변수 간의 정적상관관계를 확인할 수 있었으며, 사회적 참여가 삶의 질에 주는 직접효과와 간접효과 모두 유의했고, 사회적 지지는 사회적 참여와 삶의 질 간의 관계를 부분 매개하는 것을 확인했다. 따라서 1인 가구의 삶의 질 향상을 위해서는 1인 가구의 사회적 참여를 보다 활성화하여 그들의 사회적 지지를 보다 공고해 나갈 수 있는 복지정책 혹은 시스템 마련이 필요하다. 후속연구로 이를 구체적으로 실현할 수 있는 방안에 대한 보다 깊이 있는 질적 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.
