행복한 노후를 위한 첫 단계는 무엇일까? 노후 행복의 비결 중 하나는 바로 부부관계의 재정립이다. 연애, 신혼, 첫 아이를 낳았을 때 등 시기마다 부부관계는 달라진다. 하루라도 못 보면 죽을 것 같았던 부부도 어느 순간 서로 으르렁거리게 되기 십상. 노후에는 부부 간 서로의 역할을 재정립할 필요가 있다.

'지금 살고 있는 내 집에서 그냥 노후를 보낼까? 아니면 한적한 전원주택으로 옮겨 볼까? 편리한 시설을 갖춘 시니어타운에 들어가는 것도 좋을 것 같은데${\cdots}$'. 은퇴하면 어디서 살지 고민하는 중장년층이 많다. 특히 활동 반경이 축소되고 환경에 대한 적응능력이 떨어지는 노년기엔 사는 곳에 따라 삶의 질이 매우 달라질 수 있다. 건강하고 행복한 노후를 보내기 위해서는 주거 계획을 잘 세우고 주변 환경을 잘 활용하는 것이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of early health status on income status as young old adults grow older. Using Korean Retirement & Income Study(KReiS), this study finally included 923 older adults who were fully present from the first wave (2005) to the sixth wave (2015) for 10 years. The results of descriptive analysis show that the difference of income occurs due to the difference of health status at the early old age. In other words, older adults with good health status at the early old age(56 ~ 60 years old) have a relatively higher income level for 10 years compared with older adults with poor healthy status. In multiple regression analysis, the results represent that the better the health condition in early age, the higher the gross individual income, controlling for gender, spouse, and education level. In addition, older adults with good health at early old age stage have higher income level than those with poor health at early old age stage. The difference by health status continues as they are getting old. Therefore, this study suggests several policies and practical alternatives to improve the early health condition and to reduce the negative impact of early health condition on old age income.

The study attempted to examine the structural model of the effects of health status and retirement aging anxiety on middle-aged workers. The subjects were collected from 263 40-59 year old middle-aged workers who work at three institutions in C and G cities. Results First, the variables affecting aging anxiety were aging preparation and health status, and these variables accounted for 52% of aging anxiety. Second, health status had a significant effect on retirement preparedness, and there was a significant indirect effect on aging anxiety through retirement preparedness. There was a partial control effect due to the difference in the path coefficient between health status and aging anxiety in the multi-group moderating effect of 40~49 and 50~59 years. Therefore, in order to reduce aging anxiety, it is important to find ways to prepare for various retirement, and a systematic management system is necessary.

최근 한국사회는 국민소득향상, 생활수준의 개선, 의학기술의 발달 등으로 평균수명이 크게 연장 되어 고령화 사회로 발전되어 가고 있다. 평균수명이 짧았던 시대에는 고령화 문제가 크게 중요시되지 않았으나 수명이 연장됨에 따라 노후에 대한 경제적, 사회적 보호문제 등이 대두되고 있다. 노인들의 기본욕구는 주로 소득 보건 주택 여가 등에 관한 것으로 노후에도 자신의 능력과 적성에 맞는 일자리를 찾아 경제적 안정을 누리며 소득을 유지하고 의료보장으로 건강한 노후를 보낼 수 있으며, 가족관계가 안정이 되고 자기발전을 기하며, 사회참여와 역할을 지속하며, 휴식과 오락을 즐기고 문화를 창출하며 삶의 보람을 찾을 수 있는가 하는 것이 문제이다.(중략)
