Then the following two sections discuss the research on worker behavior of defined contribution plans, a popular pension plan available for American workers in recent years, and the adequacy of retirement income among American people. The last section is a summary. This paper reviews the trend of the U. S. pension system, research on worker's behavior of defined contribution retirement plans, and studies on retirement income adequacy. These themes may have common or different features in other countries, such as Korea.

The graying of populations is emerging as an international issue around the world, and this is a problem that is rapidly advancing in Korea as well, signaling the need for financial preparations for the aged. For this purpose, various retirement pension systems are being employed as preparatory measures for the nation's elderly. Using data from 1474 people in the 2007 panel study of National Security for the Retired, the present work attempts to look at satisfaction rates with regard to public pension receipts for the national pension and special occupational pensions according to general characteristics and factors related to the preparation for an aging society. Satisfaction with retirement pension receipts according to the type of pension was high for special occupation retirement pensions, individual retirement pensions and the national retirement pension, in that order. Looking at satisfaction rates based on the general characteristics of pension recipients, the study revealed that for the national pension, satisfaction was highest for groups with above-average physical and psychological health, groups who think appropriate living expenses for the elderly are lower, groups in which a partner also earns income, and groups who had amply prepared for their expected living expenses in later life. Regarding special occupation retirement pensions, satisfaction was high for groups over the age of 70, groups with good psychological health, and groups sufficiently prepared for their living expenses in later expenses, compared to groups for which these factors did not apply. In terms of the relative influences impacting retirement pension recipient satisfaction, satisfaction with the national pension was highest when the primary source to cover elderly living expenses was a resource other than income earned by the recipient and their partner and/or income received from children. Concerning special occupation retirement pensions, satisfaction was highest among those whose education terminated before middle school, and for those in good physical health. Based on the above results, it is vital that plans exist for preparing sufficiently for the living expenses of the elderly and for facilitating the physical and psychological health of pension recipients. Plans are also necessary to, ensure that citizens are provided with easily accessible educational programs and activities regarding general installment savings and deposits, stocks and bonds, real estate investments, individual retirement pensions, private insurance, severance pay pensions, and public pensions.

This study examined how middle-aged jobholders anticipate their living after retirement, how they plan their post-retirement financial welfare and what attitude they have towards old age. The data came from 290 middle-aged male and female people in Incheon, Suwon and Cheongju city and were analyzed to find the differences among public planned pension types, such as the National Pension System (NPS), the Government Employee Pension Corporation (GEPC), and the Korea Teachers Pension (KTP). The major results were as follows: First, the expected income level after retirement in GEPC members was the highest and the lowest in KTP members. Second, the expected living period after retirement is the main criteria used when determining the amount of money needed for old age. Third, KTP members were of the most inferior at financial planning and practice, especially self-reflection of their expending behavior, thrift and saving practice for old age.

퇴직연금은 노후소득 보장체계중 하나이다. 한국은 2016년부터 종업원 수 300인 이상 기업의 경우 의무적으로 퇴직연금을 도입하도록 되어있어 대기업의 퇴직연금 도입비율은 높은 편이나 중소기업의 도입비율은 매우 낮다. 본 연구는 중소기업 퇴직연금 도입의사에 영향을 주는 재무적속성이 무엇인지 살펴봄으로써 정부의 퇴직연금 도입 유도 정책 수립에 방향을 제시해 보고자 한다. 분석결과, 재무적속성중 매출액순이익률은 양(+)의 방향, 자기자본비율은 음(-)의 방향으로 중소기업 퇴직연금 도입의사에 영향을 주는 유의미한 요소로 밝혀졌다. 이에 따라 중소기업 퇴직연금 도입 활성화를 위해 매출액순이익률과 자기자본비율을 우선적으로 고려한 퇴직연금 도입유도 정책 실시가 필요함을 본 연구는 시사하고 있다.

Using the most recent dataset of Korea and U.S. household finance, this study analyzed demand and adequacy of private pensions for pre-retirees. For this purpose, 2013 Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS) of national pension research institute in Korea and 2013 SCF (Survey of Consumer Finances) of FRB in U.S. were used. For comprehensive comparisons of the two countries, this study classified the private pension into sub-categories such as personal pension, corporate pension, and retirement benefits, and used three different criteria including ownership, accumulated present value of each pension, and income replacement ratio of each pension. After controlling for other factors, educational level of householder and household income were critical determinants of size and adequacy of private pension in both countries. Different from Korean households, householders' gender, marital status, and health status had an important effect on the private pension size and adequacy in the U.S. In addition, home ownership significantly increased only private pension adequacy in Korea, and also increased ownership rate, size, and adequacy of private pension in the U.S. Results of this study provide useful implications for future pension system and policy in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 노후소득보장의 한 방안으로 퇴직급여 제도의 현황을 조사하고 퇴직연금의 연금화 방안을 제시하는데 있다. 연구방법으로는 설문조사를 바탕으로 회귀분석 및 교차분석의 실증분석과 외국사례를 사용한다. 교차분석 결과 자영업자와 저소득층의 은퇴준비는 심각한 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 자영업자의 경우는 개인형퇴직연금의 확대, 저소득층의 경우는 독일의 리스터연금과 같은 제도의 도입이 필요하다. 퇴직연금의 연금화 방안과 관련하여서는 호주와 영국의 사례를 참조하여 제도를 개선하여야 할 것이다.

Objectives : This study compared the influencing factors on life satisfaction after retirement between public pension and specific corporate pension recipients. Methods : This study used the fifth year data of 2013 from the raw data of the Korean Retirement and Income Study collected by the National Pension Research Institute. The data analysis in this study was done with the chi-square test, t-test, and linear regression using SPSS ver. 22.0 to verify the relevance between the general characteristics of pension recipients. Results : This study shows that there was a difference in expenditures and health care costs between public pension and special corporate pension recipients. The influencing factors on life satisfaction for public pension recipients were the level of spending, whether there were limitations in daily life and social activity, whether recipients had financial assets and health care costs while for specific corporate pension recipients, they were education level, level of spending and chronic diseases. Conclusions : A health policy that maximizes life satisfaction and takes into account the type of pencion needs to be considered and implemented.

소득대체율은 은퇴 전 소득 대비 은퇴 후 소득이 어느 정도 인지를 나타내는 지표로써, 사회보장제도의 급여수준이나 노후대비소득의 적정성을 논할 때 매우 유용하게 사용된다. 기존 연구들은 소득대체율 개념을 통해 은퇴시점이나 특정 은퇴기간의 은퇴소득을 진단하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생애에 초점을 두고 생존기간에 따라 소득대체율이 어떻게 변화하는지 살펴보았으며, 생존기간에 따른 소득대체율을 하나의 지표 값으로 나타내어 분석하였다. 이를 생애소득대체율로 명명하였으며, 분석결과 3대 연금에 모두 20년 가입 시 남자의 생애소득대체율은 38.3%, 여자의 생애소득대체율은 41.1%로 예상된다.
