The purpose of this study is to identify women (aged from 49~59), who have recently emerged as consumers, and their clothing preferences, and it suggests how to make jackets provide better fit and wearability. The results of the study are as follows. In drafting a pattern for size 66 tailored collar jacket with an X-silhouette, it was made with front waist length measuring B/4+1.5 cm, a back length of B/4+1.3 cm, an armhole depth of B/4, a hip ease of H/4+1.2 cm and a sleeve opening of 34.5 cm, to allow for easy movement. In drafting a size 66 high neck collar jacket, it was made with a front and back waist length measuring B/4+1.5 cm, an armhole depth of B/4, a hip ease of H/4+1.2 cm and a sleeve opening of 35 cm. In drafting a size 66 sports collar jacket with an A-silhouette, it was made with front and back waist lengths measuring B/4+1.5 cm, an armhole depth of B/4, and a side dart of 1.3 cm, to provide raglan sleeves. The last experimental jacket pattern improved the appearance and moving fitness evaluation especially for shoulder and arm movement. Based on analysis, jackets were made and subjected to an appearance evaluation using multi-modules to test the level of wearing satisfaction for each fabric and silhouette. the results of the multi-module wearing tests indicate that the preferred silhouettes caused less stressful situations in terms of both psychological and physiological signals.

본 연구는 현재 사회적으로 은퇴 또는 명퇴가 보편화 되는 관점에서 과거 은퇴예정자들은 은퇴 후 창업계획에 대해 내재된 기술과 노하우가 있어도 상당수 창업성과로 이어지지 못하고 있으며, 창업의지가 있어도 기술창업과 연계되지 못하고 소상공인 위주의 생계형 창업이 보편화 되어왔다. 은퇴자들의 준비되지 못한 자영업창업은 자영업자들의 상황을 갈수록 어려워지게 하고 있다. 경기침체에 따른 내수부진과 대기업의 골목상권 진출확대 등으로 영세자영업부진은 자영업자 가구의 상대적 빈곤율이 갈수록 높아지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 노후대책이 미흡한 베이비부머들이 자영업에 나서지만 대부분이 실패를 하고 있으며, 55세 이상 자영업가구 10가구 중 3가구 이상이 빈곤층에 속해 우리 경제의 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이처럼, 장기간 내재된 직장, 단체에서의 사회적자본이나 지적자본을 활용하지 못하고 어쩔 수 없는 자영업 소상공인 위주의 창업은 결국 과다출혈경쟁과 차별적 사업전략 없이 또 다른 사회문제점으로 발현되어 사회적문제와 미래에 지불해야할 또 다른 문제요소로 자라잡고 있는 현실이다. 이런 측면에서 은퇴예정자의 창업은 창업자가 잘 할 수 있고 고객니즈의 문제점에서 아이디어를 얻고 해결할 수 있는 기술창업이 대안이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 문제적 접근을 좀 더 면밀히 분석하고자 현재 직장인들 가운데 은퇴예정자들을 대상으로 그들이 그동안 직장생활하면서 얻게 된 시회적자본과 지적자본이 기업가정신을 매개로하여 창업의지에 어떻게 영향을 미치는가를 분석하는데 그 목적이 있다.

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.

While economic crises are happening internationally due to the global financial crisis and the long-term recession of the domestic economy, South Korea is also experiencing an aging society with the retirement of the baby-boomers and a low birth-rate. The rapid retirement of baby-boomers, which is one of the essential parts of the Korean economy, is ongoing. Consequently, the number of seniors showing interest in entrepreneurship, as a way to avoid the economic threat, is increasing. Therefore, this study examined the correlation between two factors and its success, which can be stated as the influence of decision making in entrepreneurship and the influence of promotion policies to entrepreneurship. A survey was taken from 393 people, who received academic and managerial assistance from the Senior-Founded Support Center of Small Business Market Corporation and Adults Incubators of Seoul-Business Agency. and 'Hypothesis 1-1' and 'Hypothesis 2-2' were selected, because a positive effect was derived at each verification process. As a result, under the decision making types of entrepreneurship, only a reasonable type showed a positive effect at both the financial outcome and non-financial outcome of success, and the intuitive type was affected positively by the non-financial outcome. In addition, under the entrepreneur supporting business, among financial support, managerial support and educational support only managerial support had a positive effect.

This study is conducted to find ways to develop design and research activities on personal belongings for the aged generation and aims to promote the industry and improve welfare of the elderly population by enhancing their quality of lives. Researches on policy papers, journals and published books show high growth potentials for elderly related industries due to rapid aging, retirement of baby boomer population and quality-oriented life styles. Regulations and standard, however, are lacking and, with shortage of R & D investment, human resources have not been secured in this industry. This is a niche market that has definite consumers. Therefore, it has been confirmed that when design and research efforts are made in this field, it can contribute to the benefit of aged generation as well as the development of the national economy.
