The purpose of this study is to explore and identify the factors influencing the suicidal ideation among middle-aged and elderly people with disabilities. For this, the study has used the panel data of the 7th (2012) through 11th sessions (2016) of the Korea Welfare Panel Survey. In the middle-aged (40 years old to 64 years old), it was found that ordinary income and family life stress significantly affected Suicidal ideation. In the elderly aged 65 to 74, the marital status, ordinary income, depression, family life stress, and satisfaction with family life significantly influenced Suicidal ideation. In the elderly aged 75 or older, depression was the decisive factor affecting Suicidal ideation This study has suggested an effective social welfare intervention plan to prevent the occurrence of suicide among middle-aged and elderly people with disabilities, which emerges as a serious social issue in Korea.
