Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the mediating effect of depression on the relationship between assets and life satisfaction in Korean elderly (45 years old or older). To this end, we used the data from the KReIS 5th Main Survey (2013). SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 25.0 were used for data analysis. The analysis methods were descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and path analysis. As a result of the analysis, first, the assets of middle-aged and old age had a negative effect on depression, and the depression had a negative effect on life satisfaction. Second, the assets of the elderly have a positive effect on the satisfaction of life. Third, the effects of assets on the satisfaction of life were found to be mediated by depression of middle-aged people. Based on the analysis results, this study suggested the introduction of middle age generation's asset formation support program, the universal implementation of basic pension for the elderly generation, and the gradual increase in benefits.

본 연구는 한국의 중고령자(45세 이상)를 대상으로 자산과 삶의 만족 간에 관계에서 우울감의 매개효과를 검증하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 국민노후보장패널(KReIS) 5차 본조사(2013년) 데이터를 활용하였다. 자료분석을 위해 SPSS 21.0과 AMOS 25.0을 사용하였다. 분석방법은 기술통계분석, 상관관계 분석, 회귀분석, 경로분석 등을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 중고령자의 자산은 우울감에 부(-)적인 영향을 미쳤고, 우울감은 삶의 만족에 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 둘째, 중고령자의 자산은 삶의 만족에 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 중고령자의 자산은 우울감의 매개를 거쳐 삶의 만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이상의 분석결과를 바탕으로 중년세대의 자산형성 지원 프로그램 도입과 노인세대의 기초연금의 보편적 실시와 점차적인 급여인상 등의 지원방안을 제시하였다.
