한국사회는 전통적인 대가족제도가 급속히 해체되고 저 출산 및 고령화로 인한 고령층의 1인 가정의 수가 급속히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 고령자 1인 가구에 대한 다양한 서비스와 고도화가 필요한 이유이다. 본 연구에서는 1인 가정을 대상으로 IoT 기기를 통한 다양한 PHR 생체 신호와 환경정보을 수집하고 수집된 정보를 바탕으로 건강상태를 모니터링하는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 의료기기에서 제공되는 개방형 PHR 데이터의 융합으로 정보 분석 및 예측능력을 강화하고 고독사 상황파악 및 방지 프로그램을 이행할 수 있는 기본 인프라을 구축하고자 한다. 또한 중장년층의 미래에 대한 불확실성을 제거하고 사회복지서비스의 확대를 위한 정책적 과제의 논의적 목적을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 결과물은 사회 소외 계층에 대한 서비스 확대와 국민의 의료환경 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

1997-98년의 외환위기는 한국경제 전반에 걸쳐 커다란 변화를 초래하였다. 특히 노동시장에서도 200만 명의 전례 없는 대량실업을 경험하였다. 이전의 고학력 실업과 생산직 노동력 부족이라는 두 가지 큰 특징으로부터 성, 학력, 연령에 관계없는 전 노동력에서의 대량실업이라는 특징을 경험하게되었다. 불경기에서의 기업 구조조정은 많은 직장인들로 하여금 통상적인 정년을 채우지 못하고 조기 퇴직해야 하는 상황을 초래하였다. 특히 50세 이상의 중·고령자 조기퇴직은 그들이 가정경제를 책임지는 가장으로서의 가정적 불안 뿐 아니라, 사회적으로도 실업자 보호를 위한 비용지출이 증대될 수밖에 없다. 이러한 현상은 직장에 남아있는 근로자들의 고용불안으로 확대되어 근로자들의 의사가 제대로 반영되지 않는 채 그 동안 정착된 고용관행(60세 전후 정년퇴직, 연공서열형 보수체계, 등)이 쉽게 무너지고, 사용자 중심의 새로운 고용관행(계약직, 연봉제, 단시간 근로형태, 등)이 확대될 가능성이 높아지게 되었다. 본 연구는 중·고령자의 고용안정과 촉진을 위한 정책대안과 촉진을 위한 정책대안을 제시함으로써 개인에게는 적합한 직종에서 일할 기회를 부여하고, 사회적으로는 실업문제의 해결로 사회복지비용의 지출을 최소화한다는 차원에서 연구되었다. 일반적으로 채용 면에서는 퇴직된 중·고령자도 신구인력과 경쟁적일 수박에 없으므로 비록 경기가 회복되더라도 재취업의 어려움은 여전히 남을 수밖에 없다. 뿐만 아니라 이들은 오랫동안 피고용자로서 근무해 왔기 때문에 신규 자영업에 진출하기도 조심스러울 수밖에 없어 이들의 경제활동에 대한 정부차원의 지원정책이 필요할 것이다. 연구결과 다음과 같은 몇 가지 중요한 정책적 시사점을 제시할 수 있다. 의무고용률 의 조정, 퇴직 전 전직훈련의 의무화, 고령자 창업보육센타의 설립, 신규채용이나 퇴직에서 제한연령의 완화 및 철폐, 서비스 산업에서의 고령자 적합직종의 개발, 등이 그것이다.

스마트 시니어란 기존의 고령자 세대와 달리 문화향유 의욕을 가진 계층으로 컴퓨터, 스마트 기기 등 컴퓨팅 기기를 사용할 수 있고, 취미 문화 활동에 적극적으로 참여한다. 또한 고령자의 인터넷이용률도 증가하고 있다. 하지만 고령자들은 신체적 노화에 따른 한계점에 인터넷이용에 불편을 겪기도 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시니어와 주니어의 생체능력 비교실험을 통하여 스마트 시니어를 대상으로 하는 인지반응 분석 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 시니어와 주니어의 비교분석으로 주니어에서 시니어로 변화되는 과정을 파악할 수 있고 이는 스마트 시니어에게 알맞은 UI/UX제공 및 스마트 시니어에게 최적화된 콘텐츠 및 서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것 이라 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of the extension of the retirement age perceived by corporation top leaders who are the main agents of employment. As a result of analyzing the interview data by qualitative content analysis, companies centered on manufacturing and construction preferred the elderly to foreign workers and leaders of social service organizations suggested that healthy and capable elderly people should be able to continue to work. However several opinions were also presented against the extension of the retirement age uniformly without considering the circumstances of the company. The passion for work of older workers with higher salary decreased, which concerns that the absence of a retirement system would reduce the vitality of the organization and increase the burden of labor costs. As an alternative to this, there is the opinion that employment can be extended even after the retirement age with the contract and in the form of a commissioned job according to an agreement with the company. Furthermore, it was also suggested that it would be easier not only to maintain employment but also to create jobs for the elderly given the employment flexibility.
