본 연구는 사학연금기금의 재정건전성 강화를 위한 한 방편으로 연금액 조정방식의 개선과 그 재정효과를 분석한다. 매년 수급자의 연금액 조정에 사용되는 물가상승률에 부양률의 증가를 반영하여 적용할 물가상승률의 폭을 다소 낮추는 것이다. 분석결과 이러한 연금액 조정방식의 변경은 연금기금의 고갈의 막을 수 있는 근본적인 대책이 될 수 없음이 확인된다. 그러나 세대간의 부양을 기반으로 운영되는 사학연금의 경우 그간의 개혁이 후세대의 더 큰 고통 감내를 요구했던 바, 본 연구는 수익비의 분석을 통해 향후 재정안정화를 위한 조치는 세대간의 형평성을 제고하기 위한 노력이 포함되어야 함을 주장한다.

본 연구는 직역연금 간 이동자의 연금수급권 확보를 위해 도입된 합산 제도의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 해소하기 위한 대안을 제시한다. 합산은 2015년의 연금법 개정으로 연금수급조건이 10년으로 하향 조정되어 그 실효성이 크게 약화되었다. 무엇보다 합산 기간에 대해 최종적으로 연금을 지급하는 직역연금에 재정적으로 불리하여 직역연금 간 재정부담의 형평성의 문제를 야기시킨다. 합산 시 납부하는 합산반납금 또는 수급자였던 자가 합산하는 경우 이체 받는 연금액은 연금지급을 위한 충분한 재원이 되지 못하기 때문이다. 또한 합산은 연금액 이체 시의 정산과 같은 비효율적 업무 혹은 관련 법령의 불완비성에 의해 제기되는 민원과 소송의 원인이 되기도 하는 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 직역연금 간 합산은 연계로 전환하도록 제도 개선이 필요함을 주장한다. 연계를 통해 연금수급권 확보라는 합산의 도입 취지를 훼손하지 않으면서 합산의 문제점을 해소할 수 있기 때문이다. 그 구체적 방법으로 현재의 국민연금과 직역연금 간의 연계 제도를 확대하여 공적연금 간의 연계 제도로 확대할 것을 제시한다. 이 경우 기존의 법 제도와 정보연계시스템을 활용함으로써 직역연금 간의 연계 제도를 위한 많은 수고와 노력을 줄일 수 있다.

최근 우리나라는 유례를 찾아볼 수 없을 정도로 고령화 진행속도가 빠른 나라로 공적 연금재정과 연금제도의 지속가능성에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 따라서 사회보장제도 개혁에 성공한 국가로 잘 알려진 스웨덴 사례를 통해 사학연금제도의 유지 및 장기적 재정안정화에 시사하는 바를 찾고자 한다. 스웨덴 정부는 인구고령화에 따른 위험에 상대적으로 안전한 '명목확정기여(Notional Defined Contribution)'방식을 도입하여, 개인의 연금계좌에 연금보험료를 적립하여 수급시점에 본인이 부담한 보험료 상당액을 연금으로 돌려받을 수 있도록 운영하고 있다. 또한 경제상황이 예상 수준보다 침체되고 연금 재정수지가 악화될 경우 이와 연계하여 자동으로 연금가입자의 부담금을 높이고, 지출되는 급여액을 감소시키는 '자동재정균형장치(Automatic Balancing System)'를 도입하였다. 상기와 같이 기여와 급여를 명확하게 연계시키는 스웨덴의 명목확정기여 방식의 연금제도는 장기적 재정안정은 물론이고 안정적인 연금 급여를 제공한다고 평가되고 있다. 스웨덴은 연금개혁 후 확정기여(DC)제도로 전환하여 장기적인 제도 안정성을 추구하지만 사학연금은 확정급여(DB)제도를 유지하면서 급여수준의 하향조정과 보험료율을 점진적으로 상향시켜 재정안정성을 확보하는 것이 가장 큰 차이점이다. 스웨덴의 연금제도와 같이 공적연금의 틀을 유지하면서 사적연금의 장점을 최대로 수용한 명목확정기여 방식의 연금제도를 도입한다면 급격한 재정부담 없이 장기적으로 지속가능한 연금재정 안정화에 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 일견 스웨덴의 정치, 경제상황 및 문화적 특성 차이로 인해 스웨덴의 연금제도 방식을 획일적으로 사학연금제도에 적용하는 것은 불가능하다. 경제상황을 고려한 기여와 급여의 연계 강화를 개혁의 기본방향으로 설정한 스웨덴의 사례를 벤치마킹하여 사학연금 또한 거시경제상황과 조화를 이루는 제도개선 및 자동안정장치를 마련해 보는 것도 고려해 봄직 하다. 지속적으로 스웨덴 및 연금제도 선진 국가들의 연금개혁안을 재검토하여 사학연금제도에 현실적으로 적용할 수 있는 방안과 시사점들을 찾는 노력이 필요할 것이다.

The National Pension of Korea is a public social security system designed to alleviate social risks and poverty that has had a major impact on the quality of life for the aging population. However, a rapidly aging population and low fertility threaten the sustainability of national pension in Korea. The National Pension Research Institute publishes a nancial projection every ve years; consequently, the government has lowered the entitlements for the sustainability of national pension based on the projection results. The current reform of the pension system that arbitrarily reduces the entitlements might detract from the income security role of the national pension for pensioners without accounting for the highest elderly poverty rate in the OECD countries. We first discuss methods for the financial projection of the national pension in terms of population, subscribers, and pensioner projections in order to estimate the pension reserve fund and the financial depletion year. We also conduct a sensitivity analysis for population variables, institutional variables, and economic variables based on pension reserves and the financial depletion year. We evaluate intergenerational fairness between the income hierarchy by conducting a money's worth analysis. Finally, we investigate the possibility of the sustainability of national pension by adjusting pension contributions and entitlements (income replacement rate). A new dependency ratio shows that a simple reform of the national pension does not secure the sustainability of the national pension without adapting a pay-as-you-go system.

The Korea Stewardship Code 'Principles on the Fiduciary Responsibilities of Institutional Investors' was introduced in 2016 and the National Pension Service adopted it in 2018. the National Pension Service casted 'dessent' vote on the agenda which is able to reduce the ownership interest of shareholder in general meeting. This paper examines whether 'dissent' voting affected on the ownership interest of shareholder or not. The 'dissent' vote on the agenda are related to revision artical of corperation, appointment or compensation of director and auditor, approval of financial statements ect. The proxies of earnings management is discretionary accruals calculated by modified Jones model. The control variablies are size of assets, liabilities per assets, returns on assets. The results of this study are as followings. First, the 'dissent' voting on the agenda are related to revision artical of corperation, M&A, approval of financial statements ect. are not significant because their sample size is too small, Second, the 'dissent' voting on appointment of director and auditor affected on reduction of discretionary accruals. So the National Pension Service activism shall affect on increasing the ownership interest of shareholder. Third, the 'dissent' voting on compensation of director and auditor is not affected on reduction of discretionary accruals. This results show that 'unconditional dissent voting' on the agenda in general meeting is not to reduce the ownership interest of shareholder.

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 investigated whether the increased Basic Pension amount in 2014 affect the level of depression of recipients and whether the effect differs according to three groups by household type(living-alone male, living-alone female, and couple households). Data from two waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA) in 2012 (before the introduction of the Basic Pension) and 2016 (after the introduction of the Basic Pension), the elderly aged 65 years or older as of 2012 and the recipients of the basic pension in 2016 (N=2,277) were analyzed. Using the statistical package SPSS 25, mean comparison and multiple regression analyses were implemented. The results confirmed that the level of depression in female elderly living alone and married couples significantly decreased after the introduction of the Basic Pension, while there was no significant change in the level of depression in male elderly living alone. As results of regression analysis in the whole sample, the increased Basic Pension amount had an effect on the depression level of recipients in 2016, the higher the Basic Pension increase, the lower the depression level. Also, the regression analyses among the three groups by household type found that the significant effect of raising the basic pension on depression was reported only in elderly women living alone. Based on the main results of this study, implications were presented.

How do Korean people recognize major welfare policies of the Moon Jae-in government? Using a survey of 1,000 adults conducted in December 2018, this study examines what the public thinks about major issues related to welfare policies and what factors are related to variations in their opinions regarding the welfare policies. Results show that the public recognized the roles of government in providing welfare in a positive way. The positive opinion on expanding the coverage of National Health Insurance was the highest. Regarding the resolutions of fiscal problems of the National Pension Plan, there were substantial oppositions to reforms such as insurance premium increase, benefits cut, and increase in the age of receipt of pension benefits. Both efficiency and equality were perceived as important when government makes decision for allocating budgets. Only one-third of respondents agreed Korean government contributed to promoting the happiness of Korean people. Based on these findings, implications for developing welfare policies were discussed.

This study conducted research over status of employment and living by collecting questions & answers from retired soldiers after service in ROK Army more than 5 years in last 5 years. As the methodology of this research, the status of employment has been provided from the Citizen Insurance Public Corporation, and conducted interviews for all individuals in addition to the receiving of questions & answers. Also, the statistic data prepared and submitted for Congressional Audit & Inspection from MND was also utilized for the purpose of research. In conclusion, the situation faced with retired soldiers after their retirement is showing the future of reflection of oneself to the personnel in active service who must do their best only for their duty to keep national security. If those personnel in active service are worrying about their future returning to civilian society after retirement, it will not only become an impediment to perform their duty but also bring invisible weakening of military power to defend our nation in result. This is the rationale for the necessity of providing support for social adaptation, reemployment and inauguration of retired soldiers.
