Abstract

With the result of Korean national senior's real life state survey analysis that is triennially conducted based on Article 5 of Welfare of the Aged Act, this study categorized the senior according to age norm cognition, and figured out the characteristic of each category, and analyzed their needs for life satisfaction and hoping activities. Because the senior at present are on higher level of health, education, and economy than 20 to 30 years ago, it is about time to repeat discussion about the policies established in the past in terms of society, culture, industry, welfare, employment, and participation as a convergence approach. As a result of analysis study, the senior divided into three groups:, resignation type, progressiveness type, and saving appearances type. Their life satisfaction level and hoping activities by senior segment groups are different. By results of this study, the preservation of income for senior will be needed, and they don't want volunteer activities so that there are another policy system will be needed to vitalize senior's social participation for their healthy physical and mental life. Korean senior were satisfied with family members relationship, -although Korean senior's life satisfaction level is not higher so that the new policy to care senior by senior system will be reviewed more actively.

본 연구는 노인복지법 제5조에 근거하여 3년마다 실시되는 노인실태조사의 2014년 결과를 토대로 우리나라 노인을 연령규범 인식에 따라 유형화 하고, 각 유형별 특성을 파악하고 이들의 삶의 만족도와 희망활동에 대한 요구도 차이를 분석하였다. 현재의 노인은 과거 20~30년 전의 노인과 건강, 교육수준, 경제수준 등이 더 높으며 과거 노인을 대상으로 수립한 노인 관련 정책들은 이제 사회, 문화, 산업, 복지, 고용, 참여 등 융합적인 관점에서 재논의 되어야 하는 시점으로 본다. 본 연구에서 분석한 결과 우리나라 노인은 크게 체념형, 진취형, 체면형의 3개 유형으로 구분되었다. 이는 노인의 연령규범 인식에 따른 구분이며, 이에 따라 삶의 만족도 및 희망하는 활동에 대한 차이가 확인되었다. 향후 우리나라 노인 관련 정책은 기존 취약노인을 대상으로 하는 복지적 관점만이 아니라, 고용, 사회참여, 생활 만족, 자원봉사 등 다양하고 융합적인 관점에서 고려할 필요가 있으며 특히 노-노 케어 및 친분이 있는 소규모 노인 집단을 대상으로 정책을 접목하는 시도 등도 필요할 것으로 본다.
