This study examined individual and household level factors on joining national pension. Using the labor panel data of the Korea Labor Institute, this study applied a multi-level logit analysis of individual and household level factors on a possibility of joining the pension. The result showed that, at individual level, education, job stability, and marriage had positive effects on joining the pension. At the same time, controlling all the other individual factors, women were less likely to join pension, compared with men. The study also demonstrated that, at household level, household income had a positive effect and the number of children had a negative effect on joining the pension. More importantly, controlling other variables, an increase in the number of children affected women negatively more than men. These findings suggest that those factors on pension participation vary between men and women. Thus, we need to pay attention to gender sensitive policy to cope with old age poverty of women.
