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.
