베이비붐세대의 소득과 상대적 여가박탈감의 관계에서 건강불평등의 조절효과

초록

The intention of this study was to contribute basic data for establishing a welfare system in Korea that can minimize social problems caused by income disparity, specifically health inequality and perceptions of deprivation of leisure opportunities. To this end, a total of 512 study participants recruited through an online research company completed a 28-item question consisting of demographic variables as well as income, health inequality, and RLD; the survey took place during the month of October 2021. For data processing, frequency analysis and descriptive statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 27.0 and AMOS 25.0, and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and Model 1 of Process Macro 3.4 were used as well. The conclusions drawn from this are as follows. First, income had a negative effect on RLD such that higher incomes were associated with less sense of leisure deprivation, and the opposite was true for lower incomes. Second, health inequality moderated the relationship between income and RLD. Relative leisure deprivation decreased as income increased in the middle and high health inequality groups, but income had no effect in the group with low health inequality. Therefore, attention at the national level is required to improve both income and health disparities among the less fortunate in Korea, which will in turn improve the sense of relative leisure deprivation. Governments need to bridge the relative lack of leisure by establishing institutions that can more evenly distribute resources and health-related benefits to the underprivileged, and by supporting better incomes and leisure opportunities.
