우리나라 금융행복지수 개발을 위한 기초연구 -해외사례를 중심으로-

This study provides a basic study for the development of the ‘Financial Happiness Index(FHI)’ in Korea. This study aims to examine the cases of major foreign countries where research on this was first started, and to draw implications for the future development of the FHI suitable for Korea. As a result of the analysis, first, major countries discussed the development of the FHI by covering policies such as financial education, strengthening financial capabilities, and improving financial behavior that have been sporadically promoted. Second, in many countries, various terms such as ‘financial well-being’ and ‘financial wellness’ are used as terms related to the FHI, but the definition of ‘financial happiness’ that is implied was found to be quite same. Third, the selection and combination of subjective and objective indicators to measure ‘financial well-being’ differed from country to country. Based on these contents, in order to develop the FHI in Korea in the future, it is suggested that the definition, components, and decision factors, conceptual models, and survey methods about financial happiness should be specified through a comprehensive perspective that strengthening financial capabilities through financial education and improving financial behavior can improve the level of financial happiness of the people.
