초록

본 연구의 목적은 65세 이상 고령자의 직업훈련 참여에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하여 고령자의 고용가능성 제고하는 것이다. 연구 결과에 따르면, 고령층의 학력과 경제활동 상태가 직업훈련 참여에 영향을 미치며, 경제활동과 직업훈련은 고령자의 역량 개발과 고용가능성 증진에 밀접한 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 고령자 중 상당 수가 근로를 계속 희망하며 이들의 경우, 직업훈련에 더 많이 참여하는데, 이는 고령자의 직업훈련 참여를 촉진하고 적합한 모델을 개발하는 것이 정책적으로 중요함을 시사한다. 로지스틱 회귀분석에서는 성별, 학력, 경제활동 여부, 근로 희망, 연금 수령액이 직업훈련 참여에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었는데, 이를 통해 정부 지원 정책이나 저학력 고령자를 위한 구체적 대책을 수립할 필요성이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 연금 수령액이 낮을수록 직업훈련 참여를 촉진하는 접근이 요구된다는 점도 본 연구의 중요한 시사점이라 할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing vocational training participation among individuals aged 65 and older in order to enhance their employability. According to the research findings, the educational background and economic activity status of the elderly significantly impact their participation in vocational training. It was confirmed that economic activity and vocational training are closely related to the capacity development and increased employability of the elderly. Moreover, a considerable number of elderly individuals express a continued desire to work, and this group tends to participate more in vocational training. This underscores the importance of promoting vocational training among the elderly and developing suitable models, which holds significant policy implications. Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender, education, economic activity, desire to work, and pension income affect participation in vocational training. This highlights the necessity of formulating specific strategies in government support policies, particularly for those with lower educational backgrounds. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of approaches that encourage vocational training participation, especially among those with lower pension income.
