This study investigates issues, which the current disability benefit of the national pension Scheme is facing, and seeks improvements concerning the universalism of coverage, the adequacy of benefit levels, and the equity of institution. The low universalism problem is caused by the coverage deficits and the strict disability assessment system of NPS and can be overcome by widening the disability category and changing the disability assessment system to workability test. In addition, the benefit level of the disability pension will be reduced stronger than the old age benefit in the long. The low benefit level due to the short contribution period and the low disbursement rate and can be improved by the enhancement of the standard contribution years and the disbursement rate. On the other hand, the main reason of the equality problem can be seen as the requirements for benefit, which are applied differently depending on the membership status. As policy measures, the unification of requirement on the basis of a recent payment, a payment in a certain percentage of life, or a hybrid of both criteria is investigated.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the national pension affects the life satisfaction of old age, using the first and third-wave data from the Korean Retirement and Income Study. The study analyzes the relationship between the national pension and life satisfaction, using several operational definitions of these two variables. This study utilizes the Difference-in-Difference(2D) models and panel data analysis. The main results are : First, the result of simple 2D shows that there is not significantly difference between the pensioner and that of non-pensioner. Second, the result of 2D regression also shows that pension is not significantly associated with life satisfaction of the old age. Lastly, the result of fixed-effect model confirms that the national pension does not have a statistically meaningful effect on the life satisfaction, controling for the unobserved characteristics of the old age. This study also conducts sensitivity analysis and discusses policy implications.

First, 93 preliminary items were developed based on theoretical literature and International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Model. To verify the content validity, 3 rehabilitation experts rated those items. Second, the scale consisting of 73 items was administered to sample of 880 people with disabilities. Finally, items of the scale were reduced to 58 items. Factor analysis showed evidence of construct validity of the scale. Internal consistency (Cronbach's ${\alpha}$) of total score showed .94 and Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ of 7 subfactor demonstrated .74~.90. Thus, Job Functional Assessment Scale demonstrated satisfactory convergent validity and discriminant validity. In addition, the practical use of the scale was discussed.

Using 2006~2015 Korean Welfare Panel Survey data, this study analyzed the poverty reduction effects of social security benefits. The results show that social security benefits have substantial impacts on reducing the poverty gap. National Basic Livelihood Security, public pensions, and Basic Pension have relatively larger poverty reduction effects. Other benefits such as disability benefits, workers' compensation unemployment insurance, and childcare subsidies have much smaller poverty impacts. Two determining factors of the poverty reduction effect are (1)the amount and (2)the poverty reduction efficiency of social security benefits. With the expansion of the social security system in recent years, the poverty reduction efficiency has decreased in general. Due to a greater increase in the amount of benefits, however, the poverty reduction effect has gradually increased. In order to increase the anti-poverty effect of social security, it is important to find ways to improve efficiency while minimizing the disadvantages of the selectivistic welfare benefits.

In this study, using KLoSA data, it was verified whether subjective expectations and depression had a multi-mediated effect on life satisfaction of the elderly with dementia and mild cognitive impairment. As a result of the analysis, first, it was analyzed that the higher the IADL of the elderly with dementia and mild cognitive impairment, the lower the subjective expectation, the higher the depression, and the lower the life satisfaction. Second, it was analyzed that as the subjective expectations of the elderly with dementia and mild cognitive impairment increased, depression decreased and life satisfaction increased. Third, it was analyzed that IADL in the elderly with dementia and mild cognitive impairment not only directly affects life satisfaction, but also indirectly affects life satisfaction through subjective expectations and depression, so it has a multi-mediated effect. Therefore, it is necessary to expand subjective expectations by expanding service providers that can support daily life restrictions for the elderly with dementia and mild cognitive impairment, providing regular programs by experts to reduce depression, and establishing new national pension benefits for dependents.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the changes between leisure and social activities, life satisfaction, and happiness of the disabled according to the time before and after COVID-19, and to examine the moderating effect of living alone. For the analysis, the data of 3,773 persons from the employment panel for the disabled were used for the analysis, and as a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the decrease in leisure and social activities further reinforced the decrease in life satisfaction, and consequently the decrease in happiness also increased. In addition, it was found that the effect of leisure social activities on life satisfaction increases according to living alone. In other words, the decrease in leisure and social activities of the disabled led to a decrease in life satisfaction and decreased happiness. Through these results, although social distancing is important, support such as online gatherings, participation in cultural and artistic activities, and education is necessary as an intervention in reducing leisure and social activities, which can be an important protective factor in the lives of the disabled. Furthermore, it was suggested that screening for mental health and intervention for persons with disabilities living alone are necessary in case management of persons with disabilities.
