예비 은퇴자 삶의 행복감 영향 요인에 관한 실증연구

Abstract

The empirical analysis showed that 'positive perception of retirement' was the most important factor affecting 'happiness of life' after retirement. Next, 'retirement negative perception factor', 'family activity factor', 'social activity factor', and 'housing perception factor' were analyzed to have a significant impact on 'happiness of life'. On the other hand, the “economic change factor” was not significant.
 The policy implications are as follows. First, the fact that 'retirement positive perception factor' is the most important variable means that pre-retirees (50s) are more concerned about their expectation of life happiness after retirement and their perception of retirement is that they should plan well for leisure and hobbies in their longer free time after retirement. Second, since the sample of pre-retirees (50s) in this study is still economically active in the workplace, the impact of 'economic change factors' on 'happiness of life' seems to be somewhat insensitive. This suggests that for pre-retirees who are sensitive to economic change factors, there is a need for retirement and senior jobs that can guarantee income after retirement, as they are aware of future economic change factors (such as income and asset decline) in advance and prepare for retirement.
