  • Recently it has been encouraged in developed countries that labor force participation of the elderly is one of the means to cut down the cost of social welfare for them. However, empirical studies have rarely explored how work in later life contributes to national economy. Especially, even though 56.6 percent of elderly workers aged 65 and older engaged in agriculture and forestry in Korea, their contribution has been socio-economically overlooked. This study aims at examining the effect of farming labor in later life on social welfare expenditure. For this purpose, social welfare expenditure was defined as social benefits provided for the elderly by the social security in public sector and measured as transportation allowance, pension, livelihood aid, medical aid, and health insurance in 2003. Data were obtained from National Health Insurance Cooperation and 37 town/village offices and analyzed by 3 age groups; 65~74, 75~84, and 85 and over using SPSS/PC windows program. Results showed that both livelihood and medical support in all age groups were expended more to non-farm than to farm workers. The amount differences per person between them were 113,959~361,132 won in livelihood support and 15,644~51,418 won in medical support. Also, participation in farming influence reduction of livelihood expenditure for the group 65~74 and 75~84 and that of medical expenditure only for the group 65~74. Based on these results, it was estimated the amount of social welfare expenditure reduced by farming labor in later life. The limit of this study and the policy implications of the results are discussed.

  • 최근의 경제성장과 생활수준의 향상은 농촌주민의 보건 형태에도 큰 변화를 유발하고 있다. 10여년전과 달리 산전관리나 영유아 예방접종은 거의 대부분의 농촌주민들도 자발적으로 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에 의하면 일차보건사업지역이나 대조 지역간에 이측면에서 큰 차이가 없다. 따라서 일차보건사업은 과거의 알차적인 보건써어비스의 확대라는 고전적 목표에서 써비스의 향상과 써비스 조직의 개선으로서의 새로운 사업전개가 필요하다.
