This study examined life in old age and images of the aged perceived by middle-aged and old-aged generations through indepth interviews with 30 persons aged 40s through 80s residing in three areas (city or county) in capital region in Korea to use it as basic information in planning social welfare policy and reorganizing social services in response to population aging in capital region in Korea. In terms of economic life of the middle-aged and olde-aged generations perceived older people's opportunities for work were rarely given to the aged due to ageism and negative stereotypes of aging and the aged, and the aged tended to regard themselves less able or unable to work. In terms of social life of the aged both middle-aged and old-aged generations perceived that the frequency of social participation was low, and the daily life of the aged was found mostly aimless, unorganized and unplanned. In terms of psycho-social life of the aged both generations still felt that they were not alienated from the family, neighbors, and the society. In terms of social welfare services both generations thought the aged needed basic services such as income maintenance, health care, housing services, and particularly they felt lack of social services. The old-aged generation was willing to travel to the distance taking more than one hour to receive social services that they would need. Both the middle-aged and the old-aged agreed upon the necessity of preparation for old age and the benefits of earlier preparation, however, they said that they could not prepare for their old age due to lack of social programs to help preparation for old age and due to spending for rearing and education of their children. In terms of perceived life in old age both middle-aged and old-aged generations tended to be slightly positive, but the degree of positiveness differed between respondents from urban area and those from rural area regardless of generations. Images of the aged were perceived to be overwhelmingly negative while positive images were very few in number regardless of generations. This finding may suggests that negative stereotypes on aging and the aged are also prevalent in Korean society like in Western societies. Based on findings of this study some implications for social policies in response to population aging in capital region were suggested.

세계화가 사회적 불평등을 심화시키고 있지만 이에 대처하는 개별 국가의 능력은 오히려 약화되고 있으며, 그 결과 노인인구층의 복지여건이 악화되고 있다는 것이 종래의 일반적인 인식이다. 본 논문은 이러한 일반적 인식을 재검토하는데 목적이 있다. 검토작업은 다음 네가지 영역에서 이뤄진다. 첫째, 세계화에 대한 상이한 개념정의와 시각을 검토한다. 여기에는 노령층에 대한 복지급여를 잔여적 급여로 전환시키는데 있어 핵심적 역할을 행하고 있는 주요 국제기구의 활동을 중점 논의한다. 둘째, 세계화가 개별 국가에 미치는 영향이 일률적이라는 시각을 재검토하기 위해 세계화에 대해 서로 다르게 반응한 미국과 유럽방식을 비교한다. 셋째, 세계화가 노령화 정책에 미치는 영향에 대해 논의한다. 넷째, '사회적 삶의질'이란 개념을 통해 노인계층의 복지수준은 경제적 성장보다 사회적 급여에 더 큰 영향을 받게 됨을 보여 주고자 한다.

고령화사회(aging society)에서 매우 빠른 속도로 고령사회(aged society)에 다가가고 있는 우리나라는 노인에 대한 개념을 새롭게 재정비하고 장수고령사회에 대비한 새로운 문화를 창출하여야 할 때이다. 노화란 개념에 대해서도 불가피하고 비가역적인 생체의 변화를 통한 죽음에 이르는 도정이라는 결정론적 시각을 불식하고, 노화현상은 생명체의 생존을 위한 적응적 반응성 변화라는 사실을 분명하게 하고, 그러한 변화의 요인이 제어가 가능한 생체의 변화임을 인식하여 노화 및 노인 문제에 대하여 새롭게 대처하여야 할 필요가 대두되고 있다. 아울러 노화현상에 대한 새로운 가설인 노화대문설(Gate theory of aging)의 기본을 설명하고 이를 바탕으로 한 기능적 장수(functional longevity)의 개념을 정리해본다.
