1. 문제점(Setting of Problems) 산업의 급진적인 진보는 고도의 기술사회(high-tech societies)를 창출해 내었고, 이로 인해 생산양식뿐만 아니라, 가치체계 및 생활양식이 급진적으로 변화하였다. 동시에, 산업화 및 생활수준의 향상은 인구통계학적 변천(demographic transition)을 가져와, 인구의 노령화가 이루어졌다. 산업화에 의해 발생된 이러한 현상들, 즉 가치체계의 변화와 인구의 노령화가 바로 문제의 핵심인 것이다. 산업화는 효율(efficiency)에 높은 가치를 부여함으로써, 정신적인 인간관계측면의 중요성을 무시하고, 노령화란 다차원적(multi-dimensional) 문제를 일으켰다. 이러한 문제들의 해결책으로서 서구적인 가치개념은 노인들의 생활의 질(quality of life)를 향상시키지 못한 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, 물질적인 면 이외에 정신적인 면의 접근법을 필요로 하게 되는 것이다. 2. 연구의 목적(Objective of the Study) 이 연구의 목적은 한국에 있어서의 인구의 노령화의 원인과 결과에 대한 연구를 하는데 있다. 이러한 연구에 의해 노령화라는 다차원적 문제에 대한 지식을 얻으므로써, 사회, 공동체 및 가족 수준에서의 노령화 문제를 다루는데 있어 비서구적 접근법 및 정책적 전략에 관한 방안을 제시하게 되기를 희망한다. 3. 방법론(Methodology) 1) 자료 수집(Data Collection) 자료는 다음 세가지 원천으로 부터 얻어졌다. 첫째, 출판된 자료 및 회의서류 둘째, 한국보건사회연구원과의 협조로 행해진 설문지 조사 셋째, 자체 연구팀에 의해 행해진 면담 2) 자료분석(Data Analysis) 인과분석(cause-effect types of analysis)은 probit, logit, path analyses에 의해 행해졌다. 이 연구논문에는 trend analysis의 결과는 제시되지 않았는데, 이는 다양한 정부기관에 의해 출간된 분석들과 유사하기 때문이다. 4. 연구분석의 결과 첫째, 경제적 요인은 노인들의 생활상태를 결정하는데 가장 중요한 요인이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 노인의 사회적인 통합이 강할수록 보다 행복한 생활을 영위하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 성(sex), 교육정도, 주거지역 등이 노인의 고용상태 및 소득수준과 큰 관계가 있다. 넷째, 교육정도, 사회적 결합(social integration) 등이 건강상태와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 다섯째, 사회적 통합, 건강상태, 독립심 등이 노인의 정서적 상태에 큰 영향을 미친다.
