본 연구는 과거 혼인경험과 관계없이 중년 무배우남성을 1인가구와 다인가구로 구분하여 인적자본과 사회자본의 차이를 살펴보고 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 제13차년도 한국복지패널조사(2018)를 사용하여 중년 무배우남성을 연구대상으로 분석하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중년 무배우남성 1인가구는 이들의 혼인상태와 관계없이 교육수준, 경제활동상태, 인터넷사용 등 인적자본 수준은 다인가구보다 낮았다. 둘째, 중년 무배우남성의 가구주 여부에 따른 인적자본과 사회자본 수준의 차이를 보면, 이혼·사별 경험이 있는 다인가구인 비가구주 중년남성은 1인가구에 비해 사회자본의 수준이 현저히 낮았다. 미혼의 경우, 1인가구에 비해 비가구주 중년남성의 미취업 비율은 높고 상용근로 비율은 낮았다. 셋째, 혼인상태에 따른 중년 무배우남성의 생활만족도에 미치는 인적자본과 사회자본의 효과를 분석한 결과, 인적자본변수 중 경제활동상태는 이혼·사별집단에서 1인가구와 다인가구에 공통으로 영향을 주었다. 사회자본의 효과를 보면 미혼집단에서 1인가구와 다인가구 모두 유대수준이 높을수록, 다인가구에서 신뢰가 높은 집단이 신뢰가 낮은 집단에 비해 생활만족도에 긍정적 효과를 주었다. 이혼·사별집단에서는 1인가구에서 자원봉사참여가, 다인가구에서는 신뢰가 생활만족도에 유의한 사회자본 변수로 나타났다. 최근 한국사회에서 1인가구를 대상으로 하는 특화된 프로그램이 건강가정지원센터를 비롯한 지역사회에서 강화되고 있는데, 향후 중년 대상 프로그램의 경우에는 1인가구라는 가구의 형태보다 오히려 이용자 요구에 초점을 맞추어 1인가구로 한정하지 않는 것이 다인가구임에도 소외되기 쉬운 중년 무배우남성의 정책접근성을 높일 것으로 기대된다.

Considering that the number of middle-aged single-person households is increasing, this study investigates dietary behaviors, nutrient intake, and mental health according to household type. Data were procured from the 2015-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Totally, 5,466 participants aged 50-64 years were classified into 2 groups: a household with one member was defined as a single-person household, and households with two or more members were described as multi-person households. Single-person households comprised 10.63% of the total, with a higher average age, and lower income and economic levels than multi-person households. Compared to multi-person households, single-person households had a higher frequency of skipping breakfast, eating alone, and dining out, the moderately and severely food insecure group was more than 5 times, and nutrient intake and dietary quality were poorer. In the fully adjusted model, the odds ratios (ORs) of depressive symptoms were 2.35 times (95% CI: 1.39-3.96), and suicide ideation was 1.95 times (95% CI: 1.35-2.82) in single-person compared to multi-person households.

A person's residence is the primary environment which affects physical and emotional-gratification. Residential environments are very important to a person's quality of life. Because the age of society has rapidly increased, we must take a profound interest in the welfare and residences of the aged. While the government has begun to prepare for an aging society, the residential environments of the aged has not been fully considered. Because the welfare of the aged begins in the house, the term 'residence for the aged' is not limited to the physical space. Because residences for the old aged are included in various social policies such as family relations, social security, health care, safety etc, relevant policies for these residences must be prepared as rapidly as possible. This study-focused on both the importance of residences for the aged and the residential desires of the aged, and aims to propose planning criteria for the residences of the aged.
