Abstract

This study tried to understand the effect of human capital of the elderly on life satisfaction. Data from the 8th KReIS additional survey were used for the study subjects, and the number of subjects was 1987. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and regression analysis were performed using SPSS 20.0. As a result, gender, age, education level, economic activity status, generational composition, spouse presence, and exercise type showed significant differences in life satisfaction. Life satisfaction and health status showed the highest positive (+) correlation, and monthly average income and education level showed the highest negative (-) correlation. As for human capital that affects life satisfaction, life satisfaction was higher in women than men, employed rather than unemployed, married generations, health, average monthly income, and regular exercise.

본 연구는 노인의 인적자본이 생활만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상자는 국민노후보장패널조사 8차 부가조사 자료를 활용하였으며 대상자는 1,987명이었다. SPSS 20.0을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 경제활동 상태, 세대구성 형태, 배우자유무, 운동 형태가 생활만족도에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 생활만족도와 건강상태는 가장 높은 정(+)의 상관관계를 나타냈고, 월평균소득과 교육수준은 가장 높은 부(-)의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 생활만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 인적자본으로는 남성보다는 여성이, 비취업자보다는 취업자가, 부부세대의 가족형태인 경우에, 건강할수록, 월평균 소득이 높을수록, 규칙적인 운동을 할수록 생활만족도가 상대적으로 높았다.
