Abstract

This study aims to examine whether the life satisfaction of the elderly living alone is influenced by demographic background, economic activity, productive leisure participation and the moderating effect of social support. Data in this study was from 5th Korean Retirement Income Study, and 890 elderly living alone were extracted and analyzed, and a multi-level analysis was used to analyze the data because the life satisfaction of the elderly living alone has a random effect according to the region. The results of this study were as follows; First, the elderly living alone showed high life satisfaction when they live in province rather than Seoul or metropolitan city, spend higher living expenses, do economic activities, and they are economically independent. Second, those who participated in productive leisure activity were more satisfied with life than those who did not, and those who have social support are more satisfied with their life. Third, the relationship between productive leisure participation and life satisfaction was moderated by social support. When the elderly living alone participate in productive leisure activities, they feel more life satisfaction according to social support given to them.

본 연구는 독거노인의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인한 연구로, 인구학적 배경, 경제 활동과 함께 생산적 여가참여와 사회적 지지의 조절효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구는 5차 국민노후보장패널의 독거노인 890명을 그 대상으로 하였으며, 독거노인의 삶의 만족도는 지역에 따른 무선효과를 가져 다층모형을 활용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과 독거노인은 도에 사는 경우 광역시나 서울시에 사는 경우에 비해 삶의 만족도가 높았고, 생활비가 많을수록, 경제활동을 하고, 경제적으로 독립된 경우에 삶의 만족도가 높았다. 뿐만 아니라, 생산적 여가에 참여할 경우 그렇지 못한 경우 보다 삶의 만족도가 높으며, 사회적 지지를 많이 받을수록 삶의 만족도는 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 생산적 여가참여를 하는 경우 사회적 지지를 받을수록 독거노인의 삶의 만족도가 높아지는 조절효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 독거노인의 생산적 여가참여의 촉진책과 사회적 지지를 높이기 위한 정책적 방안을 모색하여야 할 것이다.
