부모의 사회경제적 지위가 청년의 일자리 질과 자기효능감을 매개하여 주관적 웰빙에 미치는 영향

This study analyzes the effect of parental socioeconomic status on the subjective well-being of college graduates through the mediation of job quality and self-efficacy. The results of the structural equation modeling using raw data from the 2019 Survey of College Graduates' Occupational Mobility are as follows. First, I found that parental socioeconomic status has a direct effect on the subjective well-being of college graduates. Second, parental socioeconomic status has an indirect effect on subjective well-being by mediating job quality and self-efficacy. Third, the indirect effect of parental socioeconomic status on subjective well-being is larger than the direct effect. This study demonstrates that the job quality and self-efficacy are important pathways through which parental socioeconomic status leads to young adults' life satisfaction and happiness. The implications of this study are centered on policies to improve job quality and self-efficacy of young adults as a means to mitigate social inequality and increase class mobility.
