This paper aims to examine the causes and features of current generational conflicts in Korea and to discuss their implications. The data utilized in the study include collective data on presidential and general elections and secondary data obtained from empirical research. The findings are as follows. First, generational power conflicts express itself by struggles among generations concerning the timing of political power transfer. An average age of assemblymen decreases consistently regardless of changes in overriding ideological atmosphere in general - conservative vs. liberal. Second, ideological conflicts among generations were highly intensified around 2002 presidential election, but gradually moderated since 2004 general election. The conflicts might be re-intensified if a set of conditions were satisfied. Third, cultural conflicts between older and younger generations were contrasted around three cultual axes: economic growth with top priority vs. consumerism, collectivism vs. individualism, and authoritarianism vs. post-authoritarianism. To ease strained relations between generations, intergenerational programs were suggested.

이 연구는 2003년에 실시된 한국종합사회조사(KGSS)의 가족모듈과 국제사회조사기구(ISSP)의 2002년 가족모듈을 이용해 한국의 가족가치를 국제적인 수준에서 비교 분석하고 있다. 한국에서는 최근 여러 가치와 태도가 급변하고 있다고 믿어지고 있다. 그 결과 세대간의 가치 및 태도의 차이가 크고, 이는 사회내 세대간 갈등의 뿌리라고도 이해되고 있다. 그러나 이에 대한 과학적인 검증은 많지 않다. 이 연구는 이런 시점에서 한국의 여러 가지 중 가족가치의 영역에서 세대간 가치가 크게 나타나고 있는지, 국제적인 수준에서 보면 우리나라의 세대간 가족가치 차이가 크다고 볼 수 있는지를 kurtosis라는 지표를 통해 분석하고 있다. 결혼, 동거, 이혼 및 부부의 성역할에 관한 가치 및 태도를 분석해 본 결과 한국인의 가족가치는 가톨릭이 지배적인 필리핀의 가족가치와 비슷할 정도로 매우 보수적이고 전통적인 것으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 가치관의 변화는 경제발전 정도에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그런데 한국은 한국보다 경제발전 정도가 크게 뒤져 있으면서 보수적인 가족가치관이 지배적인 필리핀과 가족가치의 수준이 비슷하게 나타나고 있다. 세대간 갈등의 원인이라고 볼 수 있을 정도로 가족가치의 세대간 차이가 큰지 kurtosis를 이용해 분석해 본 결과, 한국보다 오히려 일본의 세대간 가치관의 차이가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 한국에 세대간 가치관의 차이가 있지만, 외국과 비교해보면 한국의 세대간 가치관 차이가 더 두드러진다고는 보기 힘들다.

Currently, South Korea is grappling with a paradoxical situation characterized by simultaneous labor shortages and job shortages. Within this context, retirees are citing conflicts with supervisors/colleagues and dissatisfaction with organizational culture as the primary reasons for their departure, with these issues disproportionately affecting the MZ generation. In response, scholars have conducted preliminary studies to understand the relationships between organizational culture and other variables specifically concerning the MZ generation. However, most of these studies are based on a unified theory of the MZ generation, failing to satisfy the practical demands for distinguishing between Generations M and Z. Therefore, this research aims to explore the differences in variable relationships between these two groups within the hospitality industry. Surveys were conducted among 170 individuals from Generation M and 110 from Generation Z, and the data were analyzed using AMOS structural equation modeling. The analysis confirmed that both hierarchical culture and generational conflict significantly define relationships across all generations, with generational conflict adversely affecting organizational commitment. Additionally, while a relationship-oriented culture negatively impacts generational conflict for Generation M, no such effect was observed for Generation Z. This study successfully identifies the differential impacts between Generation M and Generation Z.

The drastically changing society has brought diverse types of families, and these diversities are changing the concept of the word 'family' itself. Inevitably, these changes cause different viewpoints among family members, developing into conflicts and social issues. In this paper, generational family problems, which are caused by changes within the family as a result of the variously, diversely changing society, are observed to suggest a resolution. Looking into the functional variety that today's structural change within a family demands, several positives changes described below have been observed; Firstly, the change in the way of interaction among family members; Secondly, the demand for continuance on relational functions including love, care, etc, as a psychological resource of family; Thirdly, the conversion from form's sake relationship to actual relationship; and Lastly, the usage of a clearer communications network. The interaction between the parent-children relationship, according to the changes in family life cycle, is also re-focused to seek resolutions for intergenerational conflicts. The results are as follows; Firstly, the changeability of various family types today must be accepted, and the functional aspects of changing families must be emphasized ; Secondly, the mutual-exchanging value of each generation must be accepted, strengthening relational functions between generations; Thirdly, it is necessary to refocus filial piety. In other words, though the intergenerational transmission of family functions may become the basis of lineage and clan formation, it won't be possible without interaction between generation.

Using survey on 865 college students, this study examines college students' perceptions on older generations in Korea. College students do not perceive conflicts with the elderly severely. While they recognize that the elderly contributed to family care and economic growth, they perceive that intergenerational conflicts regarding redistribution across generations might be impending in the areas of welfare policies. Progressive students evaluate contributions of the elderly more positively and approve expanding the roles of governments in the areas of welfare policies for the elderly than do conservative students. Students with higher interests in politics also positively assess the contributions of the elderly and are more concerned with the financial sustainability of welfare policies for the elderly. However, they perceive that the possibility of intergenerational conflicts might be low. This study suggests programs to increase intergenerational cooperation between college students and the elderly.

고령화의 급속한 진행에 따른 복지 재정 고갈 문제가 청년 실업 확대와 맞물리며 세대간 갈등을 야기할 수 있다는 우려가 제기되고 있다. 우리나라는 세대간 복지 관련 인식이 많은 차이를 보이기 때문에 그에 대한 간극을 정확하게 분석해야만 향후 복지 정책의 방향성에 대해 가늠해 볼 수 있다. 이에 현대경제연구원은 지난 4월 10일부터 16일까지 전국 성인남녀 1,004명을 대상으로 복지 관련 세대간 인식차이에 대해 설문조사를 실시하고 그 결과를 최근 발표했다. 여기서는 현대경제연구원 장후석 연구위원의 '복지에 대한 세대간 인식 차이 조사' 보고서를 통해 복지에 대한 세대별 인식 차이를 분석하고 시사점에 대해 살펴본다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate how ageism and age integration influence the perception of intergenerational conflict for each age group, and to seek alternatives to decrease intergenerational conflict. Study participants were divided into three groups based on their age: adolescence, middle age, and old age groups. For each group, the effects of ageism and age integration related variables on intergenerational conflict were examined using regression analysis. The results showed that there was no specific difference on the perception of intergenerational conflict by three different age groups; however, there were differences on influencing factors to explain the perception of intergenerational conflict. Among those factors, especially, the severity of the perception of age discrimination, which is one of ageism related variables, influenced the perception of intergenerational conflict for all age groups. That is, the more people perceived the severity of age discrimination, the more people perceived intergenerational conflict. The findings of this study are meaningful because this study revealed ageism and age integration could be causes to trigger intergenerational conflict.

This study aims to identify subgroups of ageism among young adults of age 20-39, and to examine its relationship to perceptions of generational conflict and elderly welfare policy. Latent Profile Analysis(LPA) was applied on the data 'Survey on Age Integration and Generational Integration', which was executed by institute for Age Integration Researchof Ewha Womans university, and descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation analysis were performed to examine the socio-demographic characteristics of each subgroup. Then, regression analysis was performed to observe the effect of the subgroups on the perceptions of generational conflict and elderly welfare policy. The results are as follows. The resulting subgroups of ageism among young adults were 'compound perception on aging and active age discrimination', 'medium-level aging anxiety and passive age discrimination', and 'low-level aging anxiety and beyond age discrimination'. Subgroups of ageism affected both perceptions of generational conflict and elderly welfare policy, whereas social support only affected perception of elderly welfare policy. Based on the results, political implications, such as activation of education on perception on aging, expansion of generational exchange for age integration, and renewal of social atmosphere for intergenerational coexistence, which will promote social integration

The primary purpose of this paper is to critically examine the theoretical and methodological issues in the study of generations. The issues include: 1) the concept of generation: 2) the basis of generational formation: 3) internal differentiation of generations: 4) the boundary problems of generations: 4) the boundary problems of generations: and 5) generational differences and generational conflict. From the investigation of these issues, two conclusions are drawn. Firstly, Mannheim's basic concepts and theoretical frameworks are very useful to understand and explain the social movements and sociocultural changes. Secondly, however, further elaboration and modification of the several concepts and frameworks are needed to deal with the problems of generations in general which are not directly connected to social movements. Several points are suggested to elaborate Mannheim's frameworks, which include the reconceptualization of generation, and introducing the concepts of “generation sects” and “manifest-latent generational conflicts”.

부모세대 낙농인들은 아무린 정보 없이 낙농업을 시작했기에 다방면의 시행착오를 겪으며 쌓아 온 소중한 '경험'을 가지고 있고, 후계낙농인들은 낙농과 축산에 대한 이론 교육은 물론 수많은 정보 속에서 알아낸 '지식'이 있다. 일반적으로 경험과 지식이 한데 모이면 큰 효과를 내기 마련이지만, 세대가 다르다는 이유로 갈등을 겪다 보면 시너지 효과를 제대로 얻을 수 없다. 그러나 경기 화성지역에는 소통을 통해 세대 간의 벽을 허문 모임이 있다. 바로 박홍섭 전(前)지회장을 축으로 지역 후계낙농인들이 모여 꾸려나가고 있는 '젖소개량 스터디그룹'이다. 목장에 필요한 경영노하우를 연구 토론하는 것은 물론 경험과 지식을 함께 나누고 있는 박홍섭 전(前)서울우유연합지회장과 후계낙농인들을 만나봤다.
