The present study aimed to investigate the rate of unmet healthcare needs for elderly over the age of 65 years, as well as analyze the relevance between employment status and unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons. With regard to the study method, a logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between employment status and unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons, targeting 5,528 subjects over the age of 65 years. The results showed that the rate of unmet healthcare needs was 18.9%, in which the rate of unmet healthcare needs due to financial reason was 8.1%. The rate of unmet health needs was higher for temporary workers(ORs=1.75) than for retirement workers. However, the rate of unmet healthcare needs caused by financial reasons was higher among day workers(ORs=1.92). In conclusion, in order to prevent unmet healthcare needs for senior Korean patients, it is necessary to not only improve the income security system for the elderly, but also improve the occupational form and level of income of these economically active citizens, considering the increase in average life expectancy. Moreover, it is also necessary to reinforce health insurance coverage systems for settling medical expenses.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the establishment of welfare facilities for baby boomers and the development of services and programs by studying the effects of baby boomers' preparation for old age on the intention to use welfare facilities for the elderly. The subjects of this study were 385 baby boomers (1955-1963) living in J city, Chungbuk. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the factors influencing the intention to enter welfare facilities. The results of this study showed that baby boomers' preparation for old age did not have a significant effect on the intention to use the elderly welfare center, and only the economic preparation had a significant effect on the intention to use the senior club, and the emotional preparation had a significant effect on the intention to use the 50+ center and the baby boomer welfare center. Based on the results of this study, policy suggestions are as follows: First, senior clubs need to expand services for employment and start-up that can help prepare for economic retirement. Second, various job policies using baby boomers' skills and knowledge are needed. Third, the 50+ center and the baby boomer welfare center need to develop professional counseling and education programs for prevention and treatment of emotional and psychological problems. Fourth, it is necessary to provide and develop programs to promote interpersonal relations and social activities for emotional stability and support.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of job characteristics on smoking, and the mediating effects of job stress between job characteristics and smoking among elderly workers. Methods: This study employed data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing, and a total of 778 older workers were used for analysis. Current smoking status, job stress, job characteristics including physical job demands, job demands related to contents, working days, regularity of working hour, satisfaction with income, and sociodemographic factors were analyzed. Descriptive analysis, t-tests, chi-square test, multiple linear regression, and logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: Results showed that physical job demands and regularity of working hours were significant predictors of smoking of elderly workers. The higher level of physical job demands and regular working-hour increased the risk of smoking. Also, physical job demands, job demands related job contents, and income satisfaction directly impacted on job stress. However, job stress did not mediate the relationship between job characteristics and smoking. Conclusions: The findings suggest that smoking interventions for older workers should take into account job characteristics. Implications for practice and future study directions are discussed.

본 연구에서는 액티브시니어들의 개인특성인 경력지향성와 창업교육 만족도가 창업의지와 창업준비행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴 보고, 또한 이들 간의 관계를 규명함으로써 시니어 창업정책 설계 및 자금지원, 창업교육의 바람직한 방향을 제시하고자 합니다. 액티브 시니어를 베이비부머세대 및 포스트 베이부머 세대 와 일부 에코세대를 포함한 활발한 활동과 건강한 삶을 지향하는 활동적인 고령자로 보고 40대 이상의 활동적인 시니어층를 액티브 시니어로 정의 하였다. 우리나라의 인구구조의 문제는 지금부터의 시작이며, 노인인구의 증가와 수명 연장등 고령화 따른 심각한 위기의 시작점에 40대 이상 액티브시니어에게 더욱 더 오랜 기간 일을 할 수밖에 없는 현실에 직면해 있다. 또한, 액티브 시니어들에게 안정적 일자리 창출 시장은 한계성에 봉착하고 있으며, 그 대안으로 발전 가능성 높은 아이템을 발굴하여 창직이나 창업을 통한 고용의 확대는 필연적 과제이다. 다양한 경력 기반의 액티브 시니어들에게는 무엇보다도 창업교육의 중요성이 더욱 더 절실하다. 특히, 액티브시니어들의 경력기반의 경력지향성과 창업교육 만족도가 창업의지와 창업준비행동에 미치는 영향관계에 따른 액티브 시니어의 개인별 맞춤형 창업교육의 중요성을 제안 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 대전, 충청권 및 세종시 지역의 325명의 액티브시니어를 대상으로 분석한 결과 경력 지향성, 창업교육 만족도는 창업의지와 창업준비행동에 유의한 것으로 예상하고. 상호관계 분석결과를 바탕으로 본 연구의 한계점과 및 향후 연구방향을 제시할 것이다.

2023 년 워크넷 구직자 데이터에 따르면 취업 취약 계층은 46.4%를 차지하며, 2019 년 KOSIS 국가 통계 포털에 따르면 취업 기관 및 프로그램 이용 경험이 없는 자는 전체의 93.7%를 차지한다. 이러한 현황은 대면 프로그램 부담과 정보 부족이 원인으로, 취업 기관 및 지원 프로그램의 활용도가 낮음을 의미한다. 일자리 및 자격증 등의 정보를 각각 찾아야 하는 불편함과 대면 활동 부담, 및 구직자 간의 정보 공유 어려움 등이 문제가 된다. 이를 해결하기 위해 웹 프로그램을 통해 사회적 취약 계층인 경력 단절 여성, 노인, 청년에게 구직 관련 정보를 제공하고 메타버스 가상 공간에서 다양한 활동을 통해 취업 취약 계층에게 적극적인 도움을 제공하는 서비스를 제안한다.

This study aims to analyse the redistributive impact of the welfare state growth in Korea after 2000s and establish whether there are people excluded from the benefits of the growth. The growth of the Korean welfare state has been achieved by universalizing welfare benefits under the social insurance-centered institutions which are the legacies of the productivist/developmental welfare regime. When it comes to redistribution impacts, the welfare state growth improved inequality among old age populations to a certain degree due to the introduction of the Basic Pension. On the other hand, welfare benefits for the working poor population has hardly been improved in spite of the growing welfare state. It can be said, therefore, that low-income working-age populations have been excluded from the growth of Korean welfare state. These groups are mostly in middle-old age, unemployed or precariously employed and half of them were female householders. The exclusion of these groups from the Korean welfare state shows that the growth of the Korean welfare state was unbalanced. To include the excluded into the Korean welfare state, it is necessary to increase non-insurance social provisions, extend the range of application of the social insurances, integrate income protection, employment service, and vocational training for the working poor, and combine universal and targeted welfare benefits.

Recently the Korean government announced that minimum wage policy would be applied even to apartment security staffs by 2015 who had been waived from the policy enforcement for their unique work conditions. This caused apartment management to introduce unmanned security system instead of employing security staffs because of fearing possible hike of management fees. People recklessly tend to believe unmaned system is cheaper than maned system if minimum wage guideline is applied. This study examines the economic feasibility of two different apartment security systems by utilizing cost-benefit analysis: maned and unmaned security systems. The authors estimate the costs and the benefits of each security system for 5 years(2014-2018) with application of social discount rate(5.5%). Thirty six apartment complexes at 8 different areas(meons and dongs) in Asan, Chungcheongnam-do province were surveyed. And to attain the exact costs of unmaned system establishment and operation, the authors interviewed persons working for the unmaned security corporations. The benefit-cost(B/C) ratio for unmanned security system is 1.66% at minimum and 1.30% at maximum. while B/C ratio for manned security system is 1.42% and 1.66% respectively. This results mean that people's belief is not correct, that is, transferring from maned system to unmaned is not always economically efficient. Benefits of maned security system is more diverse than unmaned system. The former provides living conveniences(parking helps and keeping parcels) and social benefits(employing aged worker and giving them opportunities to enjoy happier lives) as well as security benefits like crime prevention. The latter provides security benefits only, but that effect is also doubtable. Taking into account these diverse benefits maned system provides, the B/C ratio of maned system is equitable or higher than unmaned system.
