인구이동이 주관적 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구: 인구이동 동기별 차이를 중심으로

초록

This study conducted an empirical analysis on the relationship between migration and individual SWB(Subjective Well-Being) using panel data. Particular attention is given to the motives of migration affecting the changes of SWB. In the empirical analysis of this study, we investigated whether individuals who conducted internal migration within South Korea become more satisfied after the move than they were before. In addition, this study examined whether the effect of the migration is permanent or not. The empirical results of this study are as follows. First, there has been a positive correlation between migration and individual SWB. However, individual life satisfaction returns to its initial level in the process of adaptation. Second, the effect of migration on individual SWB showed a different pattern compared to that on individual economic level – there has been a gradual increase in the economic wealth after the migration. Third, it has been proven that changing patterns of SWB after the move differ according to different motives of migration.
