최근에 현대·기아자동차는 경제적 성과에만 매달려서는 지속적인 성장을 보장할 수 없다는 판단 하에, 새해부터 경영 방침을 경제적 성과 중시에서 환경 경영과 사회적 책임을 동시에 강조하는 지속가능경영으로 전환한다는 발표를 했다. 일본 기업들도 지금까지는 주로 환경 관련 이슈들을 기업 경쟁력 제고 차원에서 활용하던 모습에서 벗어나, 이제는 환경 뿐 아니라 좀 더 포괄적인 의미에서 기업의 사회적 책임을 새로이 추구할 가치로 인식하고 있다. (중략)

최근 장애인들의 사회참여가 점점 늘어나고 있는 상황에서 장애인들에 대한 관심과 권리보호에 대한 사회적인 관심이 높아지고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 국민들의 생활 및 의식수준이 높아지고, 사회복지 및 사회안전망에 대한 관심이 증가하면서 장애인들의 복지 문제가 중요한 이슈로 대두되고 있으며, 세계 최고 수준의 IT기술을 활용하여 장애인들의 복지를 향상하는 방안이 적극적으로 전개되고 있다. 이에 한나라당 김소남 의원은 시각장애인, 노인 등을 위해 문자를 음성으로 출력할 수 있도록 인쇄물 등에 도형 형태로 표시하는 '음성변환용 바코드' 정의를 규정하고, 이를 지원하는 것을 골자로 하는 장애인.노인.임산부 등의 편의증진보장에 관한 법률 개정안을 지난 7월 24일 대표 발의했다. 이와 관련 음성변환용 바코드의 대해 알아보았다.

최근 한국사회는 국민소득향상, 생활수준의 개선, 의학기술의 발달 등으로 평균수명이 크게 연장 되어 고령화 사회로 발전되어 가고 있다. 평균수명이 짧았던 시대에는 고령화 문제가 크게 중요시되지 않았으나 수명이 연장됨에 따라 노후에 대한 경제적, 사회적 보호문제 등이 대두되고 있다. 노인들의 기본욕구는 주로 소득 보건 주택 여가 등에 관한 것으로 노후에도 자신의 능력과 적성에 맞는 일자리를 찾아 경제적 안정을 누리며 소득을 유지하고 의료보장으로 건강한 노후를 보낼 수 있으며, 가족관계가 안정이 되고 자기발전을 기하며, 사회참여와 역할을 지속하며, 휴식과 오락을 즐기고 문화를 창출하며 삶의 보람을 찾을 수 있는가 하는 것이 문제이다.(중략)

This study focused on examining the impact of the social context that causes gender differences in entrepreneurship, not the phenomenon itself. Specifically, this study verified the moderating effect of the social context on the relationship between gender and entrepreneurship using data from 20 countries in the Global Entrepreneurship Trend Report (GETR). In order to test hypotheses involving social context implications, Hofstede's cultural dimension factors such as power distance, individualism, masculinity, and uncertainty avoidance variables, and institutional factors such as gender equality and social security are used as specific variables reflecting the social context. Empirical analysis through GLM found that gender did not independently influence entrepreneurship, and gender had a significant effect by interacting with power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, gender equality, and social security variables, respectively. Such empirical results show that the gender difference in entrepreneurship is not due to the unique characteristics inherent in each gender but on the level of the country's social context to which the individual belongs.

The development of ICT has led to changes in the pattern and the meaning of work and requires restructuring of the existing social security system, which was established chiefly for the wage workers in the industrial economy. However, while economic activities within the digital platform markets are different from industrial labour, there is still a lack of discussion on what social problems platform workers can face and how to cope with them. As a comprehensive sketch of economic activities in platform economy, this study identifies the types of platform workers and analyses three characteristics of their economic activities - flexibility, virtuality, and connectivity. It then examines what social risks can be derived form the three characteristics. This research lastly suggests alternative social safety nets and policies to alleviates the social risks and problems that platform workers may face in the digital society.

Public opinion polls have a strong influence on modern society as a means of examining the tendency of social groups on specific issues. As the influence of the polls increases, the problem of forgery and falsification of the results becomes an important issue. So, to guarantee the reliability of the results, our society needs novel mechanisms. As one of such mechanisms, the Ethereum blockchain is an environment for developing decentralized applications with the reliable blockchain technology. Ethereum decentralized applications can utilize smart contracts to provide services for users in transparent and reliable ways. In this paper, we propose a polling method that guarantees reliability using the blockchain technology, which is a distributed ledger technique that makes forgery or falsification actually impossible. The proposed method provides a robust verification function on the results of the associated polls for individual voters and verification organizations. Also, we present a distributed opinion polling application running on our private Ethereum blockchain network, showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The main results are followings. First, in the age of Kim Il Sung showed the state-led, market absence, family supplementation and in the age of Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un showed the state diminishment, market appearance, family supplementation in terms of welfare provisions. Second, there is disparity between institution and reality because the law don't prescribe the responsibility of market provisions for the people but the elderly should have made a living in the market since the early 1990s. The situation of 'the weaken state and strengthened market' in the age of Kim Jong Il have still continued in the age of Kim Jong Un. The formal income security for the elderly need to return to the former condition.

정보통신기술(ICT)은 우리 일상생활에 너무나 깊숙이 스며들어 이제 정보통신기술 없이는 행정서비스, 경제활동, 사회참여, 문화활동 등을 향유하는데 많은 제약이 따르는 시대로 접어들었다. 정보통신기술에 접근하고 이용할 수 있는 사람과 그렇지 못한 사람들의 정보격차 (Digital Divide)가 경제격차와 사회문화적 격차를 유발하여 사회 불평등을 심화시키고 궁극적으로 사회통합을 저해할 가능성이 크다. 정보통신 접근성(ICT Accessibility)은 신체적, 인지적 제약으로 정보통신기기나 서비스에 접근하는데 어려움이 있는 장애인이나 고령자가 일반인과 차별 없이 정보통신의 유용성을 향유할 수 있도록 정보통신기기나 서비스에 대한 접근을 보장해 주는 것을 의미한다. 우리나라는 미국이나 유럽 등 선진국들에 비해 정보통신 접근성을 위한 법 제도적인 출발이 늦었지만, 최근 수년간 관련 법률의 제정, 정보통신 접근성 보장을 위한 지침 및 표준의 제정 등 다각적인 노력을 경주하여 빠른 속도로 선진국 수준을 향해 나아가고 있다. 지금까지 '한국형 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 지침 2.0', '금융자동화기기 접근성 지침' 등 12개에 이르는 표준을 제정한 바 있으며, 정보통신 보조기기의 개발 보급, 관련 전문인력 양성 및 교육 홍보 등을 통해 정보통신 접근성 수준 향상을 위한 노력을 지속해 왔다. 앞으로도 모바일 시대, 디지털 융합의 스마트 시대에 대응하여 다양한 정보통신기기 및 서비스에 대한 접근성 표준 제정, 관련 기술의 연구 등을 지속적으로 추진하여 모든 사람이 정보화의 혜택을 누리는 디지털 통합 (Digital Inclusion) 시대를 열어나가야 할 것이다.

The social services for the elderly have been expending in order to respond to the rapid speed of aging. However, low utilization, exclusion and duplication have been pointed out as significant problems in service utilization of the elderly. This study tried to find out the utilization patterns of social services for the elderly: what kinds of and how many social services the elderly receive from what kinds of and how many organizations, and factors influencing utilization of the social services. It surveyed the entire population of the public assistance recipient elderlies at Kyonggi province in 1999. The results show that duplication is not so significant problem as the low utilization of social services. However, the fact that more than forty five percent of the elderly receives social services from more than two organizations requires the efforts for service linkage and coordination in social service delivery system. The factors, which have relatively big influence on the number of organizations which the elderly use for each social service, were sex and age among the predisposing factors, "living alone" and place for residency among the enabling factors and the number of illness, Activities of Daily Living, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living and inconvenience of housing among the needs factors. These results call for expansion of social services for the elderly especially in the way of achieving distribution balance between the rural and urban area and activation of case management practice and local association of social service delivery agencies for service linkage and coordination.
