The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of economic stress on aging anxiety focusing on the moderating effect of motivations for participation in volunteering, and age. In order to accomplish these purposes, a total of 182 elderly who have been volunteering were used for final analysis. The results from the multiple regression showed that economic stress increases aging anxiety among elderly and motivations for participation in volunteering are likely to mitigate aging anxiety. Also, aging anxiety is expected to be lower as people are older and have higher self-oriented motivation for volunteering. Based on the result, political and practical implications are discussed.

The statistical data of the 2017 National survey of Senior Citizen, only 10,073 people aged 65 or older were sampled out of 10,299 people. The participation rate of volunteering was frequently analyzed, and the difference in participation in volunteer according to the factors was Chi-square analysis and One-way variance analysis. A polynomial regression analysis was conducted to identify the effect factors of participation in volunteering. As a results. 3.9% of older adults are volunteering and 11.5% are experienced in the past. Participation in volunteer activity differed significantly depending on age, education level, economic level, subjective health, body function, ability use information and communication devices, social networks, frequency of face-to-face contact and frequency of non face contact.

This study examines the change of female labor market structure during the last several decades, focusing the effects of demographic factors such as declining fertility and increasing educational attainment of women. Women of the recent cohort tend to postpone their first marriages, to attain higher levels of education, and to have smaller number of children than women of the old cohort. This demographic trend results in the change of the population compositions in a way that population subgroups with high labor force participation have been increased. In addition, women of each population subgroup supply their labor in the market with higher rate than their old cohort counterparts. The labor force participation rate of highly educated women, and of married women has been increased faster than that of women with low education and of unmarried women. Although childbirth is still one of the most critical barrier for the women's participation, more and more women with young children tend to work for pay than ever before. In spite of the demographic change which is supportive to the increasing labor force participation, the Korean labor market have lost its female participants for the last year of the economic restructuring, reflecting demand-side factors as well as demographic factors are essential to determine the labor force participation of women.

대한민국은 국가경제발전의 기반을 무역에 두고 있는 대외 지향적 통상(通商)국가이다. 현재 한국의 무역은 화물량 기준 거의 100%를 해운에 의존하고 있다. 한나라의 경제 특성을 나타내는 지표로서 '무역의존도'가 있는데 2007년도 한국의 무역의존도는 75.09%로서 일본의 30.15%의 약 2.5배, 중국의 67.07%에 비해 현저하게 높은 세계최고 수준이다. 이는 한국경제 나아가 한국의 안전과 발전이 절대적으로 해양을 통한 무역에 의존하고 있다는 의미로 이해할 수 있다. 대외무역에 국가의 사활을 걸고 있는 한국에서 국가해양활동의 안전이 확고하게 지켜지지 못해 무역에 차질이 발생한다면 이는 국가 경제 나아가 국가안보에 심대한 악 영향을 미칠 수밖에 없다. 반면 최근 소말리아 근해 해적의 피해확대로 한국은 주력 전투함을 파견하여 한국선박보호와 인근해역의 해양안전유지를 위해 국제적 해양안보활동에 참여하고 있다. 이는 한국의 국가경제활동이 전 세계로 확대됨에 따라 해양에서의 안전도 다방면에서 위협을 받고 있어 군함까지 파견해야 할 정도로 위협이 확대되고 있다는 방증이기도 하다. 이에 반해 한국에서는 해양안보에 대한 국민적 관심과 체계적인 대비책개발을 위한 노력이 아직은 미흡한 실정이다. 따라서 한국은 지금부터라도 국가적 차원에서 해양안보에 대한 관심과 대비책마련을 본격적으로 서둘러야 한다. 우선 한국은 해양안보위협을 북한으로 부터의 군사적 위협과 동일한 개념의 안보문제로 간주하여 대비해야 나가야 할 것이다. 또한 현재 정부 각 부처에 분산된 해양안보 관련 기능을 유기적으로 통합하여 수행할 수 있는 중심기구의 설치를 검토하여야 할 것이며, 국제적인 해양안보노력에도 적극적으로 참여함으로써 해양의 안전을 확고하게 유지하여 한국의 지속적인 국가번영을 보장하여야 한다.

Immigrant farmers work in various social and economic fields of activity, settling in their rural community. In this study, I inquired into the way of acting of immigrant farmers, based on the texts which were made in the precedent studies. The texts were transcriptions that were made by interviews with immigrant farmers. I classified immigrant farmers' activities into 8 groups that were related to; farming, nonfarm business, off-farm business, volunteering, participating in community organization, lifelong learning, leisure and social interaction in everyday life. And, I tried to capture the characteristics and meanings of those activities. The implications from this analysis are as followings: 1) most of immigrant farmers have small family farm so that they need nonfarm or off-farm jobs, 2) pluri-acivities of immigrant farm households can contribute to their community's economic viability, 3) their economic activities should be observed carefully in the perspective of self-help approach in community development as well as farm households' livelihood strategy, 4) immigrant farmers have many difficulties to participate in community, nevertheless community participation will improve the social capital, 5) gender-sensitive policy should be developed.

With the advent of online platforms, individuals have been able to trade small resources, such as a room, in the market. However, as there is no clear regulation on these economic activities, various side effects have emerged. Accordingly, the government reestablished related policies to resolve the unintended consequences of these economic activities. However, the policy has not been implemented yet, and many participants do not comply with the policy. Therefore, this study intends to examine their perceptions in detail. For this purpose, a text mining technique was applied. Posts and comments from major online communities were collected. By applying the topic modeling technique, 5 topics were derived. Compliance with the government's policy is a voluntary decision. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out an in-depth understanding of the policy target. Therefore, based on this study, it is expected that in the future, methods to induce them to conform to policy can be discussed in detail.

The purpose of this study was to examine difference in life satisfaction by social activity type in baby boomers. Sampling 1,115 baby boomers, gender and region were assigned. A questionnaire survey was carried out from August to October in 2011. As a result of research, first, the typology of social activity in baby boomers includes 3 groups. The passive social-participation type is the cluster to which 36.8% of the baby boomers belong. They do not join income activity or civic-group activity at all. A case of doing religious activity or family activity includes a minority. There are primarily lots of women and posteriori baby boomers. Academic background level or household income is lower compared to other clusters. The life satisfaction level is moderate. Second, the active social-participation type is the cluster to which 33.8% of the baby boomers belong. They are positive in all the social activities including income activity. What there are lots of women and posteriori baby boomers is similar to the passive social-participation type. However, the academic background or the averagely monthly household income is the highest compared to other clusters. Even the life satisfaction level is the highest. Third, the economic activity orientation type is the cluster to which 29.4% of the baby boomers belong. They participate in income activity, but don't participate in civic-group activity, educational activity, and social activity such as spending time alone. Distribution of priori-and-posteriori baby boomers, distribution of academic background, or monthly household income is moderate level of other clusters. However, unlike other clusters, there are many men. The life satisfaction level is the lowest. Based on result of this study are suggested ways to improve in life satisfaction by social activity type in baby boomers.

2022년 7월에 열린 'ON미래, 산업디지털전환 국회 포럼' 에서는 기업과 기업의 데이터들이 연결되고 산업에 활용 가능한 환경조성이 필요하며 이러한 데이터 생태계를 위한 거래 활성화로 비즈니스 모델 창출이 중요한 이슈로 떠올랐다. 소상공인시장진흥공단은 소상공인 디지털 특성화대학을 열고 소상공인 디지털 역량 강화를 위해 전국의 10개 대학과 연계하였다. 4차 산업혁명의 진전과 코로나19 팬데믹의 영향으로 인한 비대면 문화의 확산 등과 이에 따른 소상공인의 디지털역량이 사업을 영위하는데 중요한 이슈로 등장한 것이다. 본 연구는 소상공인의 사업 역량과 디지털 역량이 경제활동 지속 의도에 미치는 영향관계를 실증 분석하기 위하여 이루어졌다. 이를 위해 사업 역량을 세분화해서 소상공인의 업종 전문성, 고객관리 전문성으로 나누었다. 디지털 역량은 SNS 활동성, ICT 사용 용이성, ICT 사업 활용성으로 세분화하였다. 이들 요인들이 경제활동 지속 의도에 영향을 미침에 있어서 1인 미디어 교육참여도에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지를 동시에 살펴보았다. 이를 실증 분석하기 위해 1인 미디어 교육을 받은 사람을 대상으로 온라인 설문을 조사하고자 하며 디지털 역량의 중요성이 증대되는 시점에서 소상공인에 있어서도 이러한 역량이 경제활동 지속 의도에 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 분석하는 측면에서 의의가 있다.
