In this study, we compared Korean retirees' retirement wealth adequacy with their subjective recognition and examined determinants affecting the retirement wealth adequacy. The data were drawn from the 2007 Korean Retiree Survey carried out by the Korean Investors Education Foundation. The major results of this study were as follows. The analysis suggested that Korean retirees(age 50 and over) were not well prepared financially. When using their assets(except for their residence), only 23.2% had accumulated enough wealth to meet their expenses for the remainder of their life. 25.7% of retirees subjectively considered themselves to be adequately covered. The comparison results showed that 23.8% of retirees' subjective recognition was not in accord with the estimation results. One of the most troubling groups is the 12.9% of retirees who were in the inadequacy group even though they considered themselves to be in the adequacy group. Retirement wealth adequacy determinants were quite different between objective adequacy and subjective recognition. Household income and ownership of a residence have positive effects on the retirement wealth adequacy. Also, the importance of retirement planning to retirement wealth adequacy is statistically confirmed. Based on these findings, This research suggests private retirement planning and political implications for retirees and preretired households.

This study examines the impact of retirement on psychological well-being of the elderly and identifies whether associative factors of psychological well-being differ between retired and non-retired persons. Psychological well-being is measured by the PGCMS developed by Lawton. The sample includes 1,625 older adults aged 60 and over, which derived from the cross-sectional data of the "Aging and the Quality of Life of the Elderly in Korea: A Longitudinal Study" living in Seoul and Chuncheon in 2003. Multivariate OLS regression results show that retirement is not associated with psychological well-being after controlling socio-demographic characteristics, economic status, health status, family and social relations, participation in social activities, and satisfaction with hobbies and learning needs. Also, associative factors of psychological well-being differ between retired and non-retired persons. For retired persons, greater social activities and higher satisfaction with hobbies are associated with the higher level of psychological well-being whereas higher satisfaction with learning needs has a positive relationship with the higher level of psychological well-being for non-retired persons. Discussion and implications of the findings are presented, and limitations of this study are acknowledged.

This study explored how retirement satisfaction or dissatisfaction influences on retirees' life satisfaction, comparing to workers and the gender differences were examined. The study sample was 2,609 persons (1,886 workers, 723 retirees) aged 45 or older who participated in the 1-2 waves of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA), and the retirees were classified into continuously dissatisfied retirees and satisfied retirees during wave 1 and 2. Using SPSS 21.0, the multiple regression models were examined, and in order to clarify the gender difference, the multi-group analysis and the wald-test were conducted to test the difference of the regression coefficients according to gender using Mplus 7.3. According to the results, the life satisfaction of dissatisfied retirees was lower than that of the employed, but when satisfied with retirement, the life satisfaction was higher than that of the employed. In addition, the dissatisfied retirees in both gender were less satisfied with life than the employed, and this effect was greater in female group. However, the life satisfaction of female satisfied with retirement was higher than that of the employed, whereas the evidence of the male influence was not found to be significant. Based on the results of this study, discussion about heterogeneity of retirees and gender differences in life span were presented.

본 연구는 은퇴 후 신체적 건강이 시간이 지남에 따라 어떤 변화양상을 나타내는지, 은퇴 후 신체적 건강에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려진 은퇴 특성(은퇴시점, 은퇴자발성 여부) 변인이 은퇴 후 신체적 건강의 궤적에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석하고자 하는 목적으로 실시되었다. 분석 자료는 국민노후보장패널 3차시(2009년), 4차시(2011년), 5차시(2013년) 종단자료이며, 2,857명을 대상으로 잠재성장모형 분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 중 고령은퇴자의 신체적 건강은 시간의 흐름의 변화를 알아보기 위해 무조건부 모형을 통해 확인한 결과, 중 고령은퇴자들은 시간이 지남에 따라 더 높은 수준의 ADL 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 중 고령은퇴자의 신체적 건강변화와 관련이 있는 은퇴특성은 무엇인지 조건부 모형을 통해 알아본 결과, 은퇴 특성 변수로는 조기은퇴자일 때, 은퇴가 비자발적일 때, 건강상 이유로 은퇴했을 때 더 높은 ADL 초기값을 보였다. 또한 변화궤적 영향요인을 살펴본 결과, 은퇴특성에서는 어떤 변수도 유의성을 보이지 않았고, 인구사회학적 변수 중에서는 연령이 높을수록, 소득이 높을수록 ADL의 증가속도가 더욱 가파른 것으로 나타났다.
