By defining a travel disparity based on the degree to which travelers diversify their destinations, this paper examines how socioeconomic and spatial factors affect the travel disparity among the elderly in Seoul. This paper uses the COVID-19 pandemic as a natural experiment which can bring about different behavioral responses among the older travelers. Using the smart card data, we compare the destination diversification patterns before and after the pandemic. In the early morning(4:30-9:00), the degree of destination diversification varies between the core and the periphery and this trend persists through the pandemic. In the late morning(9:00-12:00), a new trend of disparity appeared after the pandemic. Although those who hold higher socioeconomic status and live closer to the core have a larger range of choices for destinations, the difference of range did not lead to differences in diversification before the pandemic, due to the discretionary nature of the elderly's trip. In contrast, as the elderly were forced to search alternative destinations right after the outbreak of the pandemic, the range of choices became an important factor causing observable differences in destination diversification. The findings suggest that the travel disparity observed during the pandemic is due to the difference in the range of choices by socioeconomic and spatial factors.

This study analyzes the socio-economical contexts of Japan's Karaoke inflow in Busan of the 1980s, and examines the relationship between Karaoke culture of the 1980s and 'Noraebang' culture of the early 1990s in Busan from the perspective of the SCOT(social construction of technology) theory. By the end of 1970s, Japan's Karaoke was introduced under the contexts of structural transformations of a geisha tourism in the East Asian regions. Karaoke culture in Busan of the 1970s and 1980s has formulated social recognitions of the novelty of Noraebang culture in the 1990s, although it has done so through the ways of misunderstandings and Nationalism.

This study aimed to examine the associations between family economic status, social relationships, and the career identity of adolescents. The study assessed the mediating effects of social relationships on the relationship between economic status and the career identity of adolescents, utilizing data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). The result indicated that family economic status was related to the quality of the social relationships that significantly affected the career identity of adolescents. These findings suggested that the inequality in career development of adolescents due to family economic status could be reduced by promoting positive social relationships. Convergent interventions that help adolescents to build positive social relationships would be necessary to improve the career outcomes of those from low-income families.

This study was conducted on 253 artists for a month from April 19, 2020 to study the influence and countermeasures of COVID-19. The analysis results are as follows. First, as a result of frequency analysis, the timing of the occurrence of COVID-19 and the period of the decrease in artist's artistic activities were consistent, and the subjective socioeconomic level perceived by the artist was degraded from COVID-19. Second, as a result of the multivariate variance analysis, the income level and employment environment of artists affected the variables associated with COVID-19. Third, as a result of the hierarchical analysis analysis, the income level and the socioeconomic level changes due to COVID-19, and concerns about COVID-19 infections, have been shown to have had a significant impact on the level of stress felt by artists. Fourth, as a result of qualitative research, the artist reported that he was experiencing economic and psychological difficulties due to the influence of COVID-19, and emphasized the need for policy support as a way to cope with them. We hope that the results of this study will be used as empirical data in the process of developing support systems and programs for artists experiencing economic constraints and social alienation due to COVID-19.

As an effort to further extend the existing understanding on the Psychology of Working Theory, this study examined gender differences in the paths to the attainment of decent work with Korean emerging adults. A total of 311 South Korean employees (mean age = 25.96, men = 94, women = 217) completed online questionnaires. We found that economic constraints inversely predicted work volition and career adaptability, which were positively relatedin turn, led to decent work. The overall indirect effect of work volition and career adaptability between economic constraints and decent work was significant., hHowever, the specific indirect effect of work volition and career adaptability was not significant. Further analyses showed a gender difference in the paths. Specifically, economic constraint was significantly negatively associated with work volition, and work volition predicted decent work only for women, but not for men. Moreover, economic constraint was significantly inversely associated with career adaptability, and career adaptability positively predicted decent work only for men, but not for women. Work volition mediated between economic constraints and decent work for women, while career adaptability had a mediating effect for men. It suggests that career resources for obtaining a decent work may be distinctive by genderdifferent groups.

새 천년으로 들어선 2000년도부터 우리나라의 65세 이상 노령인구는 $7.1{\%}$를 차지하게 되어 본격적인 노령화사회 (UN에서 65세 이상인구가 총 인구의 $7{\%}$ 이상일 경우 노령화 사회로 정의)로 진입하였다. 평균수명의 계속적인 증가에 따라 노인 인구는 급격히 늘어날 전망이며, 따라서 노인성 질환의 발생도 늘어나게 되어 가정 또는 사회가 떠 맡아야할 경제적, 정신적 부담은 더욱 증가하게 된다. 건강하고 행복한 인생의 황혼기를 보내는 것은 인간의 권리이며 누구나 바라는 소망이다. 피부의 노화현상은 심장질환, 암 등에 못지 않게 중요하며, 노인의 경제적, 사회적 활동을 심각하게 위축시키고 있다. 피부노화를 예방하고 노인성 피부질환을 치료할 수 있는 방법을 개발함으로써 노인의 경제, 사회활동을 활동적으로 유지시킬 수 있다. 피부노화는 크게 두 종류로 나눌 수 있다. 그 한가지는 내인성노화(intrinsic aging)로서 세월이 흘러감에 따라 피할 수 없는 노화 현상을 말한다. 두번째는 광노화 (photoaging)로서 오랫동안 햇빛에 노출된 얼굴, 손등, 목뒤 등의 피부에서 관찰되는 노화현상을 말하는 것으로 내인성노화 현상과 자외선에 의한 영향이 합쳐진 결과로 발생한다. 광노화 현상은 자외선의 노출을 피하면 예방할 수 있는 피부노화 현상이다. 내인성 노화는 햇빛에 노출되지 않은 피부에서 주로 관찰된다. 임상적 특징은 비교적 경미하며, 잔주름, 피부건조증, 탄력감소 등을 들 수 있다. 그러나 광노화의 임상적 특징은 내인성 노화에 비하여 심하고, 일찍부터 관찰된다. 내인성 노화에 비하여 굵고 깊은 주름이 발생하며, 잔주름도 많이 발생한다. 햇빛에 노출된 피부에 불규칙한 색소침착이 발생하며 일광흑자 (solar lentigo) 등의 색소질환이 증가한다. 피부가 매우 거칠고, 건조해지며, 탄력성이 감소하여 심한경우 피부가 처지게 된다. 피부노화의 대표적인 증상은 주름살이며, 아직까지 그 발생기전에 대하여는 여러 가지 학설이 있으나 정확히 알려져 있지 않다. 피부에 존재하는 교원질, 탄력섬유등 기질단백질의 손상이 피부 주름살의 주 원인으로 알려져 있다. 또한 얼굴에 존재하는 근육의 분포와 움직임, 유전적 소인, 자외선, 흡연, 폐경, 산화적 손상, 열 등 여러 원인이 복합적으로 작용할 것으로 생각된다. 피부주름살의 원인을 밝히고, 원인인자가 피부주름살을 초래하는 분자생물학적 기전을 이해함으로써 주름살을 예방하고 치료할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 개발할 수 있다.

물이 상품에 내재되어 국가간 이동을 한다는 가상수 개념은 기후변화로 인해 물부족 현상이 심화되면서 세계 각국의 관심을 얻고 있다. 향후 물부족 현상 및 가상수 이동과 관련해 국제적인 물거래에 대한 전세계적 차원의 조치가 있을 가능성이 예상되면서 가상수의 국제적인 이동 추이에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 가상수 교역에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지에 대한 연구는 아직 미비하다. 따라서 본 연구는 가상수 이동에 영향을 미치는 요인을 사회경제적 요인을 중심으로 탐색한다. 사회경제적요인으로서 국가의 경제위기 경험 유무, 경제규모, 생활수준, 경제성장속도, 그리고 수자원 정책기조를 선정하고, 이러한 요인들이 전세계국가 및 한국의 가상수 교역량 변화에 어느 정도나 영향을 미치는 지를 분석했다. 가상수 교역량에 대한 자료는 UNESCO, UN, FAO의 자료를 토대로 데이터셋을 구축해 활용했다. 총 10개 농축산 품목을 대상으로 산정한 가상수 교역량에 대해 1989년부터 2013년까지 총 24년간의 자료를 분석했다. 분석 결과 아시아 외환위기, 미국발 경제위기 등 세계적 수준의 경제위기는 전반적으로 가상수 교역추이에 큰 영향을 미치지는 않았으나, 미국발 경제위기는 가상수 교역흐름 완화와 일정 정도 관련성을 보였다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 경제규모와 가상수 교역량은 전반적으로 높은 상관관계를 보였으며, 한국의 경우에는 경제규모 및 생활수준 모두 가상수 교역량과 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 반면 경제성장속도는 가상수 교역량과 큰 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 시간적으로 보았을 때 한국의 경우 생활수준은 2007년도 이후에 가상수 교역량과 매우 큰 상관관계를 보였다. 경제적 요인, 특히 경제규모가 가상수 교역량과 높은 관계를 보이는 것은 경제력이 상승하면서 생활습관이 변화해 육류소비가 많은 것과도 관련이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 사회적 요인과 관련해 분석한 수자원 정책의 기조변화는 가상수 교역량 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

I constructed the 2003 Korean 'social accounting matrix'(SAM) to analyze the multipliers of total demand for each economic activity. I find that the relative magnitude of the influence of the welfare policy to the national economy measured by input-output production multipliers tends to be underestimated compared to SAM multipliers. This is because the total demand multipliers of SAM include the private sector effects, which is not considered in the input-output model. The result also support that income inflows in public service areas including education, health and social work, generate gains in the relative income of households.
