While the average age of population increases, so as the number elderly workers employed in the private security in Korea. However, not many studies have examined the issues related to elderly security guards so far, especially regarding the experience of workplace violence victimization even though they are quite vulnerable. The current study surveyed elderly private security guards across the nation in an attempt to ask about their workplace violence victimization experience, including both physical and verbal ones. The researchers investigated if victimization experiences affect the elderly security guards' perception of occupational stress. The result indicated that the respondents experienced verbal violence more than physical violence, and perpetrators were usually customers, not their supervisor or coworkers. In addition, those who experienced verbal violence in the workplace, perceived a higher level of occupational stress. The experience of physical violence did not make a significant impact. Policies are discussed in order to decrease workplace violence towards elderly security guards.

This study is to examine the determinants of the elderly poverty by using the Decision-tree analysis. In line with this perspective, this study includes individual characteristics, family characteristics, working characteristics, and periodic income characteristics after retirement as determinants for senior poverty. The study uses data from the Korean Retirement and Income Study based on panel survey and employs the Decision-tree analysis to explain the causes of the elderly poverty. As the result of analysis, earned wage has the greatest effect on the elderly poverty. Depending on status of the earned wage, there are 2 different variable groups. One with no earned wage includes public pension, education, and residence, paid employee and gender in the other with earned wage. Based on the analytical results, the study suggests measures to address the elderly poverty.

In this article, we investigated the overall relationship between the employment stability of senior wage earners and their quality of life. Moreover, we analyzed a mediated effect of satisfaction variables: income satisfaction, work environment satisfaction, and overall job satisfaction. For the research, we used the data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) and analyzed the data set of 1,318 senior wage earners. The result showed that there exists a positive relationship between job stability and job satisfaction, while the overall quality of life has a negative relation with both the job stability and job satisfaction. This study showed a contradictory result from previous studies that claim that the quality of employment such as job stability and job satisfaction has a positive relationship with the quality of life, and the result implies that the research on senior wage earners requires perspectives different from those on other age groups and social classes.

The purpose of this study was to understand socio-demographic factors related to older adults' participation patterns in lifelong education. For the purpose, this study used the raw data of 2017 Survey of the Living Conditions of the Elderly (SLCE) conducted by The Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs. From the data of 10,073 older adults, their lifelong education participation, participating program types, participating organizations, and participating frequency were analyzed by their sex, age, educational level, household income, the longest job status, and health status. This study found that female, age of 70-74 and 75-79, educational levels of high school and higher, the longest job status of regular employees and unpaid family workers, and decent health status of older adults more participated in lifelong education. According to lifelong education program types, significant differences were found between education groups of middle school/lower and groups of high school/higher and between 1, 2 quintile income groups and 3, 4, 5 quintile income groups. In relation to the participating organizations, groups of 70 years and older, middle school and higher education level, under 3 quintile income, and poor health tended to participate in lifelong education at the elderly welfare center, senior citizens, and elderly classrooms. In terms of participation frequency, high school and college/higher than 0 year of school education, and regular workers than unpaid family workers were more frequently participated in lifelong education. This study showed the inequality in lifelong education participation according to older adults' demographic characteristics; finally, this study suggested necessary policies and academic discussions for future older adults' lifelong education.

대한민국은 노인인구 증가와 출생율 감소로 인해 생산인구가 고령화되고 있으며 청장년 근로자에 비해 상대적으로 신체적, 심리적으로 산업재해에 취약한 중고령 근로자의 안전은 재해율을 상승시키는 주요 원인으로 꼽힌다. 본 논문에서는 근로자건강검진을 표본으로 하여 신체기능의 특징과 심신기능 변화에 따른 중대재해 원인을 파악하고 재해예방 3E 이론에 따른 대책을 마련하여 건설현장 중고령 근로자의 재해예방 방법을 구축하였다. 분석결과를 토대로 기술적인 측면에서 추락재해예방을 위한 안전난간, 다기능성 강선형 비계, 수직비계 등의 개발을 통해 위험 작업을 간소화하여 재해 가능성을 낮추는 방법을 도출하고 관리적 측면에서 재해정보 관리시스템을 통한 재해정보 관리방안을 제시하였다. 또한, 교육적인 방법으로는 중고령 근로자만을 대상으로 하는 별도의 특별교육과 감독을 제안하였다. 본 연구를 지속적으로 발전시켜 효율적이고 체계적인 안전관리대책을 마련한다면 건설재해예방에 크게 기여할 것이다.

최근에는 산업장 근로자나 노인에게 주로 발생되던 청력손실이 청소년에까지 점차 확대되면서 청소년의 청력뿐 아니라 청소년의 청력에 영향을 미치는 여러 환경 및 요인에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그 중 외국어 공부나 음악감상용으로 청소년들 사이에 생활필수품처럼 널리 이용되고 있는 휴대용 카세트가 청소년의 소음성 난청원으로 매우 위험하다는 연구결과가 제시되어 학부모, 교사, 전문가에 의해 청소년 청력상태에 대한 조사와 청력손실을 유발하는 위험요인에 대해 많은 연구가 실시되었다. 청소년기에 취미/오락활동, 가정내 기계 기구, 음악, 교통 등의 소음에 상시적으로 노출될 수 있다. 직업적으로 소음에 노출된 적이 없는 청소년에게서 소음성 난청이 발생할 수 있다는 연구결과가 나오고 있는데, 청소년의 소음성 난청은 큰 소리를 내는 장난감과 개인용 음향기기, 콘서트장, 밴드활동 등의 음악과 관련이 있으며 이외에 모터사이클, 모터 스포츠 등의 레저 활동과 관련이 있다. 이러한 소음은 작업장 소음에 의한 초기 청력손실처럼 3~6 kHz 역의 청력손실을 특징적으로 보여준다. 이 글에서는 주요 취미활동과 관련하여 MP3 등 개인용 음향기기와 헤드셋 착용 근로자의 소음 노출 수준과 이에 따른 청력영향을 살펴보고, 소음저감방법에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

최근 들어 근로자의 이동시간 단축을 통한 에너지 절감뿐만 아니라 저출산 고령화에 따른 노인 인구의 경제활동 유도, 출산여성에 대한 경력단축 방지, 장애인에 대한 근로활동 제공 등을 위한 근로 환경의 변화가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 근로환경을 제공하기 위한 스마트워크는 기존 사무실에서 근무하는 환경을 탈피하여 댁내, 스마트워크 센터, 또는 이동 중에도 마치 직장에서 근무하는 것처럼 업무를 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다. 스마트워크는 현재 사용중인 여러 가지의 기술들을 근로환경에 맞게 채택하여 구현할 수 있으며, 특히 근로자의 업무 생산성을 높이기 위한 협업기능이 제공될 필요가 있다. 영상협업 기능은 영상, 음성 및 콘텐츠 공유를 통해 원격지 간에 효과적인 업무를 수행할 수 있도록 제공하는 기능이다. 본 논문은 스마트워크에서 영상협업을 제공하기 위하여 요구되는 상호연동 기능확장을 위한 표준화 이슈에 대하여 기술한다.

This study explored the meaning and essential structure of the life of 12 older wage earners who are 65 years old or older residing in Seoul. For the in-depth analysis of the qualitative interviews, Giorgi(2012)'s phenomenological research method was used. Results presented a total of 349 meaning units, 35 core meanings, 16 emerging themes, and 6 essential themes. These essential themes consisted of a life tolerating contempt and prejudice, the hungry belly in the later years, a yoke of the subordinate, an unclimbable vertical wall, reviving the hours of youth through working, and labor pride. These six essential themes led to the essential structure of'small happiness that is felt at times out of the weary working life in later years. The research participants felt worn out by the social discrimination and unfair working conditions against older wage earners, but they felt relieved that they were able to work in old age and had a sense of self-esteem through their work. Working was the important tools for older wage earners to experience happiness in later years because it not only relieved their financial burden but also brought a sense of self-esteem and labor pride. Based on the results, we suggested as following: 1) with respect to social discrimination and unfair working conditions against older workers, the whole society should discuss it as the protection of human rights and take legal actions; 2) various service jobs need to be created so that older workers can contribute to the society by utilizing their experiences; and 3) educational programs of computer or internet use must be expanded through which older wage earners can improve their job skills.
