The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing poverty in the elderly under the income maintenance, focusing on labor. Accordingly, a Panel Logit Analysis was conducted based on the 7th to 16th data of the Korean Welfare Panel. The analysis results are as follows. First, even if demographic, economic, and health variables affecting elderly poverty are controlled, National Pension and Special Occupational Pension among the income maintenance are negatively related to elderly poverty. On the other hand, it was found that the amount of Basic Pension and National Basic Living Security were positively related to poverty for the elderly. Second, it was found that if the elderly receiving national basic living security work, there is a high possibility of poverty. This raises the need to restructuring the Basic Pension, and suggests that it is necessary to combine the National Basic Living Security with the elderly job policy. Finally, in order to alleviate overall elderly poverty, it is suggested to rebuild the multi-pillar old-age income security system, including Basic Pension and Retirement Pension.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the retirement pension system on workers' retirement income security and job commitment, and to verify the mediating effect of corporate welfare satisfaction in the relationship between the retirement pension system's retirement income security and job commitment. Employees of domestic K-company, which have been implementing the retirement pension system since 2011, were surveyed, and 403 copies of the final data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. The analysis results are as follows. First, as the sub-factors of the retirement income security, the guarantee of the retirement benefits right and the income replacement rate had a significant positive(+) effect on job commitment. Second, as sub-factors of the retirement income security, the income replacement rate and customized retirement design had a significant positive(+) effect on corporate welfare satisfaction. Third, corporate welfare satisfaction had a significant positive(+) effect on job commitment. Fourth, it was found that the relationship between the income replacement rate and job commitment, which are sub-factors of retirement income security, is mediated by diversity and the level of benefits, sub-factors of corporate welfare satisfaction. Based on the results of this study, it was confirmed that the implementation of the retirement pension system enhances the employee's job commitment and corporate welfare satisfaction, and is also important for corporate management.

In order to enrich the lives of senior citizens, this study suggested measures to increase income for the elderly by strengthening the current income security policies. Income security is a policy that guarantees income to maintain a certain standard of living. It is a policy that guarantees income to maintain a certain standard of living when income is suspended due to unemployment, disease, or disaster, or when income is lost due to retirement or death of a dependent due to old age, or when expenditure accompanying birth, death, etc. occurs. According to the study, measures to expand old-age income security are as follows. First, a phased increase in basic pension for the guarantee of old-age income is needed. Second, the income security function of the National Pension Service should be further strengthened. Third, a multi-layered old-age income security system should be established. Fourth, the government should continue to push for the expansion of works for the elderly. In conclusion, in order to strengthen the income security policy for the elderly, a reexamination of the current income guarantee system for the elderly is needed first. Then, it will be necessary to propose measures to gradually guarantee income for the elderly.

This study scrutinizes the necessity and cases of the public and pension cooperation and tries to present the way of construction of information infrastructure for the pension systems suitable for Korea. The developed countries have recently been focusing on strengthening the multi-pillar pension system, while pension education and information services have emerged as an important element of the pension cooperation. The frame of the multi-pillar-pension system in Korea has already been constructed, but it is not substantial. Especially bad information on the pension system has seriously hindered the consolidation of the pension system. In order to solve this problem, we analyzed cases of public-private cooperation systems in Iceland, New Zealand, Netherlands, and Sweden. In order to build a basic infrastructure for construction pension cooperation in Korea, it is necessary to promote information exchange and cooperation among pension organizations and to improve the pension portal of NPS 'My Pension'. In addition, this study suggests establishing an association of private and public pension schemes, which manages the integrated information and education of pension systems.

최근 특수직역연금 가입자도 기초연금을 적용받고자 하는 요구가 증가되고 있다. 기초연금제도 시행부터 특수직역연금 가입자는 원천적으로 기초연금에 대한 법 적용이 배제되어 왔었다. 빈곤상태에 있는 65세 이상의 노인층을 특수직역연금 수급권자에 해당한다는 이유로 기초연금 대상자에서 제외하는 것은 노인의 생활을 지원하고 복지를 증진시킨다는 기초연금법의 도입 목적을 온전히 실현하지 못하는 측면이 있다. 그러므로 모든 공적연금 수급자를 대상으로 실제 소득이 기초연금 기준액보다 미달할 경우에는 기초연금을 받을 수 있도록 제도적인 개선이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 저소득의 특수직역연금 수령자들에게 보다 안정된 노후 보장을 지원하는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 특수직역연금 가입자 중에서 사학연금 가입자를 대상으로 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 타당성 여부를 살펴보고자 하였다. 공무원연금과는 달리 사학연금 가입자 중에서 일부 유치원 교사나 간호사 직군의 경우에는 소득이 그다지 높지 않는 경우가 있다. 이러한 계층은 기초연금 적용을 고려해볼 필요가 있다. 특히, 유족연금 수급자의 경우에는 기초연금 선택적용을 적극적으로 고려해보는 정책적 검토가 필요하다고 본다. 본 연구는 다음과 같이 주장하고자 한다. 첫째, 사학연금 수령자 중에서 실제로 저소득자인 경우에는 기초연금을 적용하는 법안을 마련하여야 한다. 둘째, 해외에서의 기초연금 적용은 모든 가입자를 대상으로 적용하고 있다. 해외 사례와 같이 전 국민을 대상으로 모든 공적연금 가입자에게 기초연금 적용을 고려하여야 한다. 셋째, 유족연금 수급자 중에서 기초연금 지급액보다 낮은 연금액을 수령하는 자에게는 유족연금보다는 기초연금을 수령할 수 있는 방안을 모색해 보아야 한다. 넷째, 기초연금의 재원은 조세로 이루어지는 것으로서 국민연금 수급자와의 형평성을 고려하여 특수직역연금 가입자의 경우에도 기초연금을 적용하여 기본적 소득의 충족과 동시에 노후소득 보장을 더욱 강화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 사학연금 가입자를 대상으로 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이와 같은 기초연금제도 적용은 우리나라의 사학연금 수급자의 노후소득 보장을 한층 강화하는 측면에서 긍정적이며, 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 타당성과 도입방안 등을 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

This study proposes supplemental security income programs for the elderly to reduce the serious elderly poverty in Korea. The experiences of the supplemental security income programs for the elderly among the developed countries were investigated. Based on this, the Korean supplemental security income models were proposed, and the effects of the programs on the poverty, inequality, and finance were analysed. The results suggest the following implications. First, the supplemental security income programs cover a sizable portion of the elderly in Korea, and reduce substantially the poverty and inequality problems among the elderly. Second, the supplemental security income programs are efficient compared to the increase of the basic pension. Third, the effects were varied among the combinations of the basic pension models and the supplemental security income models. Therefore Korea needs to introduce an adequate policy mix consisting of basic income and supplemental security income programs so as to construct solid basic income security systems for the elderly.

This paper aims to check the multi-pillar pension system in Korea. That is why, We analyzed the insured status of people in terms of multi-pillar pension system including National Pension Service, Private Pension, Retirement Pension over time. The main findings are as follows; firstly, the 'multi-pillar type'(27.7%), the 'public pension type'(12.8%) and the 'insecure type'(59.6%) have been formed. Secondly, any socio-demographic factors like labor market status, gender, age et cetera could not guarantee the pension right for multi-pillar system. As a result, we emphasize that including the 'insecure type' into public pension schemes is a prerequisite for establishing the multi-pillar pension system.

Recently, Korean government documented the plan to cope with the situation related to rich pensioners of Basic old-age pension. The purpose of this paper is to verify that how many rich pensioners are existing and to evaluate government reform plan's validity and effect. Main results are as follows; firstly, if the definition of rich pensioners is on the top 10%, the proportion of them would form 2.9% of total. And then, an amount of expenditure for them is only 2.6% of total. Secondly, in terms of disposable income, debt, and transfer income from child, the household who would be applied by government's plan is not richer than other household who is in the same living standard. And then, if the government's plan enforced, the effect might be very small. Lastly, the plan of government will discriminate against persons who support their parent. As a result, Basic old-age pension will be worsen. This paper should underline that the government's reform is only the 'hidden' retrenchment strategy in order to introduce a standard of the obligation to support own parent in the state without scientific prediction and serious discussion of negative public opinion. That is why, this is the same as the 'Trojan Horse'.

This study aims to examine the change of state-market-family as three welfare provisions. This exploratory study investigates the change of welfare provisions and life of the elderly for 25 North Korean refugees focusing the actual condition of income security for the elderly using the snowball sampling. The main results are followings. First, in the age of Kim Il Sung showed the state-led, market absence, family supplementation and in the age of Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un showed the state diminishment, market appearance, family supplementation in terms of welfare provisions. Second, there is disparity between institution and reality because the law don't prescribe the responsibility of market provisions for the people but the elderly should have made a living in the market since the early 1990s. The situation of 'the weaken state and strengthened market' in the age of Kim Jong Il have still continued in the age of Kim Jong Un. The formal income security for the elderly need to return to the former condition.

연금분할제도란 혼인기간 중 부부가 가정의 유지를 위해 담당하였던 역할들에 대하여 동등한 가치를 부여하고, 따라서 그 기간 동안 획득한 노후보장자산을 이혼 시 동등하게 분할하기 위한 목적으로 운영되는 제도이다. 이혼여성의 노후소득보장을 위한 긍정적인 역할에도 불구하고 연금분할제도는 다양한 차원에서 비판을 받고 있다. 대표적으로 이혼여성의 분할연금 청구권이 배우자이었던 자의 상황에 의해 영향을 받을 수 있다는 점, 분할연금에 대해서는 보험의 원리가 제대로 작동하지 않는 비대칭성의 문제, 연금분할의 과정에서 가입자 우선 원칙 등이 주된 문제점으로 지적을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 독일과 스위스의 연금분할제도 운영사례를 토대로 우리나라 관련 제도의 개선방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 먼저 개선방안의 탐색을 위한 목표체계로서 여기서는 부부간 역할분담에 대한 동등한 가치부여, 이혼 이후 독립적인 삶의 보장 그리고 연금재정의 중립성을 설정해 보았다. 다음으로는 이를 위한 구체적인 정책대안으로서 ①분할연금에 대한 보험적 기능의 활성화, ②이혼과 동시에 연금분할의 실시 그리고 ③분할연금의 독자적 수급권 기능 강화 등이 개선방안으로 지적될 수 있다. 나아가 현행 공적연금제도의 체계 하에서 연금분할은 장애 또는 사망의 사회적 위험에 대한 적용의 불완전성 그리고 운영과정에서의 형평성 시비 등을 야기할 우려가 있으므로 제도의 근본적인 개혁이 필요로 하다는 점을 강조하였다.
