본 연구의 목적은 가구원의 우울정도에 영향을 미치는 가구내 경제요인이 무엇인지를 가구의 소득수준별로 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국복지패널 1,2차년도 자료를 활용하여 패널 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 가구원이 인식하는 주관적인 가족수입 만족도 변화가 우울정도에 미치는 영향력이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 일반 가구원의 경우 직접적인 소득이나 지출관련 변수들의 변화가 우울변화에 영향을 미치는 반면, 저소득층 가구원의 경우는 이러한 변수들이 우울에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 통제변수중에서는 나이, 혼인상태, 교육수준 등이 유의미한 영향요인이었다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 우울의 차이를 가져오는 가구 경제요인이 무엇인지를 탐색적으로 이해하였으며, 우울과 관련한 사회복지적 개입에 있어서 가구경제 지원에 대한 정책적 방향을 논의하였다.

This study aimed to identify and compare variables affecting life satisfaction of older women by focusing on household types and poverty levels. The study used data from the Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging administered by the Korea Labor Institute in 2006. The data for 1,017 older women ages over 65 including 427 single households and 590 couple households was analyzed. First, interaction effects of household types and poverty levels on life satisfaction were statistically significant. For the non-poverty households of older women, there was no explicit difference between single households and couple households in life satisfaction, but for the poverty households, single households were lower in life satisfaction than couple households. Second, as a result of reviewing four groups of older women (poverty-single household, poverty-couple household, non-poverty-single household, and non-poverty-couple household), besides religion, it was found that there were significant differences in age, education level, number of children, health level, residence area, and status of economic activity. Third, when analyzing variables affecting life satisfaction, common predictors for the four groups were health level and ownership of house. Older women who perceived to be healthier and owned their own homes were higher in life satisfaction. For poverty-single households, older women with over middle school graduation were also higher in life satisfaction, but for poverty-couple households, older women with over middle school graduation and more children were higher.
