These changes are caused not only by the rising cost of caring them as the dependent to the society, but also by paradigm shift from the clinical and biomedical model to political economy and critical gerontology.

본 연구는 고령화 사회에서 고령여성장애인 삶의 만족도를 높이는 것이 궁국적인 목표라는 인식에서 출발하였다. 이를 통해 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 확인하고, 영향을 미침에 있어 노후준비가 영향을 주는지 살펴보았다. 선행연구에서 비장애인의 경우 삶의 만족도와 노후준비의 연관성이 나타났으며, 이러한 내용이 고령여성장애인의 삶의 만족도에도 동일하게 적용되는 것인지에 대한 검증을 위하여 수행되었다. 본 연구의 대상은 고용노동부 한국장애인고용공단에서 조사한 장애인고용패널의 4차년도(2011) 자료로 이 중 50세 이상 고령여성장애인 1,175명이며, 자료분석은 SPSS Win 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 심리요인, 건강요인, 경제요인, 사회요인이 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는데 있어 노후준비의 조절효과를 살펴보면, 주관적 소속계층이 고령여성장애인의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미침에 있어 노후준비는 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 고령여성장애인의 삶의 만족도를 높이기 위해서는 노후준비를 위한 지원이 필요할 것이다.

The main objective of this study is to explain the differences in intergenerational resource transfers among the middle-aged at various income levels. Analyses of data on financial resource transfers from the 2nd wave of the Korean Retirement and Income Study were conducted. The study sample consisted of 931 middle-aged individuals who had at least one living parent and one child. The data analysis methods were ${\chi}^2$ analysis, one-way analysis of variance(ANOVA), logistic regression analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Financial resource transfers are statistically significant factors explaining the preparation for later life and life satisfaction of middle-aged individuals. The empirical results reveal that the frequency of intergenerational financial transfers was significantly higher in high-income households than in middle- and low- income households. A comparison of high-, middle- and low-income households shows that financial resource transfers had a greater influence on the preparation for later life and life satisfaction of the middle-aged in middle-income households than in low- or high-income households. The level of life satisfaction was dependent upon to whom middle-aged individuals gave financial resources. In the middle-income group, the middle-aged who gave financial resources to their parents were more likely to have higher life satisfaction than those who did not. Receiving financial transfers from parents or children did not have a statistically significant impact on the life satisfaction of the middle-aged in any income-level group.
