Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the multidimensional factors that affect the satisfaction of life by type of baby boomer generation. The subjects of this study were 1,895 households who were born from 1955 to 1963 among the respondents in the Korea welfare panel (the 10th year). The baby boomer generation was classified into four types such as gender, income status, male and female as socioeconomic status. The male type IV (B=.074, t=1.992, p<.05), health status (B=.233, t=7.268, p<.001), household income (B=.174, t=4.476, p<.001), depression (B=-.182, t=-5.242, p<.001), self-esteem (B=.255, t=7.027, p<.001), trust (B=.064, t=2.036, p<.05), etc. were found to have a significant effect on the life satisfaction of the male baby boomer generation. The female type IV (B=.100, t=2.598, p<.05), health status (B=.239, t=6.790, p<.001) (P<.001), depression (B=-.181, t=-5.142, p<.001), and self-esteem (B=.320, t=8.600, p<.001), etc. were found to have a significant effect on the life satisfaction of the female baby boomer generation.

본 연구는 베이비부머세대의 유형별 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 다차원적 요인을 규명하자고 하였다. 분석대상은 한국복지패널(10차년도) 응답자 중 1955년부터 1963년에 태어난 베이비부머세대 가구주 1,895명이었다. 베이비부머세대를 유형화하는데 활용한 기준은 성(gender), 소득지위, 종사상 지위로 남성과 여성 각각 4가지 유형으로 분류하였다. 남성 베이비부머세대의 삶의 만족에 대해 남성IV유형(B=.074, t=1.992, p<.05), 건강상태(B=.233, t=7.268, p<.001), 가구소득(B=.174, t=4.476, p<.001), 우울(B=-.182, t=-5.242, p<.001), 자아존중감(B=.255, t=7.027, p<.001), 신뢰(B=.064, t=2.036, p<.05) 등이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 여성베이비부머세대의 삶의 만족에 대해 여성IV유형(B=.100, t=2.598, p<.05), 건강상태(B=.239, t=6.790, p<.001), 우울(B=-.181, t=-5.142, p<.001), 자아존중감(B=.320, t=8.600, p<.001) 등이 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다.
