The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating effects of social support on material hardship of low-income elderly people that have been excluded from the National Basic Livelihood Security System. For this research, data of 255 persons aged 65 and over were collected using a survey conducted in 2014 by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea on the minimum living cost of low-income household. Data analysis was performed through descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis with STATA13. According to the results, the average level of material hardship in low-income elderly people was 1.45 out of 6, with the most hardship shown in heating and health care. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that when low-income elderly people became excluded from the system, they suffered more than the recipients. They also showed that the social support system of low-income elderly people brought a negative impact on their material hardship when they were connected by the strong social support system. In other words, social support system reduced their material hardship caused by exclusion. Based on the results, this study suggests some practical and political means to reduce material hardship of low-income elderly people.

최근 특수직역연금 가입자도 기초연금을 적용받고자 하는 요구가 증가되고 있다. 기초연금제도 시행부터 특수직역연금 가입자는 원천적으로 기초연금에 대한 법 적용이 배제되어 왔었다. 빈곤상태에 있는 65세 이상의 노인층을 특수직역연금 수급권자에 해당한다는 이유로 기초연금 대상자에서 제외하는 것은 노인의 생활을 지원하고 복지를 증진시킨다는 기초연금법의 도입 목적을 온전히 실현하지 못하는 측면이 있다. 그러므로 모든 공적연금 수급자를 대상으로 실제 소득이 기초연금 기준액보다 미달할 경우에는 기초연금을 받을 수 있도록 제도적인 개선이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 저소득의 특수직역연금 수령자들에게 보다 안정된 노후 보장을 지원하는 방안이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 특수직역연금 가입자 중에서 사학연금 가입자를 대상으로 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 타당성 여부를 살펴보고자 하였다. 공무원연금과는 달리 사학연금 가입자 중에서 일부 유치원 교사나 간호사 직군의 경우에는 소득이 그다지 높지 않는 경우가 있다. 이러한 계층은 기초연금 적용을 고려해볼 필요가 있다. 특히, 유족연금 수급자의 경우에는 기초연금 선택적용을 적극적으로 고려해보는 정책적 검토가 필요하다고 본다. 본 연구는 다음과 같이 주장하고자 한다. 첫째, 사학연금 수령자 중에서 실제로 저소득자인 경우에는 기초연금을 적용하는 법안을 마련하여야 한다. 둘째, 해외에서의 기초연금 적용은 모든 가입자를 대상으로 적용하고 있다. 해외 사례와 같이 전 국민을 대상으로 모든 공적연금 가입자에게 기초연금 적용을 고려하여야 한다. 셋째, 유족연금 수급자 중에서 기초연금 지급액보다 낮은 연금액을 수령하는 자에게는 유족연금보다는 기초연금을 수령할 수 있는 방안을 모색해 보아야 한다. 넷째, 기초연금의 재원은 조세로 이루어지는 것으로서 국민연금 수급자와의 형평성을 고려하여 특수직역연금 가입자의 경우에도 기초연금을 적용하여 기본적 소득의 충족과 동시에 노후소득 보장을 더욱 강화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 사학연금 가입자를 대상으로 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 이와 같은 기초연금제도 적용은 우리나라의 사학연금 수급자의 노후소득 보장을 한층 강화하는 측면에서 긍정적이며, 기초연금 선택적용에 대한 타당성과 도입방안 등을 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

This study was performed to investigate the factors which impact on the health-related quality of life of young-old(65-69 yr), old-old(70-79 yr), and oldest-old(80 yr or above) women in vulnerable elderly received home care service from public health centers in B city. The data were collected from 383 elderly women using structured questionnaires from September to November, 2010. Multiple regression with the SPSS WIN 18.0 program were used to analyze the data. There were statistically significant differences among young-old, old-old, and oldest-old women regarding the health-related quality of life, life satisfaction, cognitive function, frail condition. The models including life satisfaction, frail condition, cognitive function, perceived health status, number of chronic diseases were explained variance of the health-related quality of life elderly women differently like 42.8% of young-old, 28.9% of old-old, and 31.5% of oldest-old. Finally, frail condition and life satisfaction were predictors in explaining the level of health-related quality of life among vulnerable old women regardless of age. Based on the findings of the study, health promotion programs should be developed to improve health-related quality of life of vulnerable aged women according to age differences.

The purpose of this study is to examine that basic pension entitlement affects the subjective well-being(SWB) of the elderly. For controlling unobserved heterogeneity, we used fixed effects model for longitudinal data. The data used for this study is KLoSA from 2006 to 2016. The research results are as follows. SWB of non-basic pensioners was higher than for basic pension beneficiaries. Second, when the demographic variables were controlled, SWB of the basic pension recipients was higher then that of non-beneficiaries. Third, the factors affecting SWB were economic satisfaction, marital status, family financial support, employment status, subjective health status, daily life restrictions, gender, and age. Fourth, the effect of basic pension on SWB was positive at the lowest income quartile. The results of this study shows that the basic pension system has a positive effect on the SWB of elderly despite the low benefit level. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the basic pension system to solve poverty problems and improve the quality of life for the aged. Also, various aspects of social support for the low-income vulnerable elderly are needed. Lastly, It was suggested that the benefit level of the basic pension should be raised to have a substantial effect on the low-income class, which is a key policy subject.

Purpose: This study was done to identify the effects of a health diary program on fall related outcomes the low-income elderly women. Methods: The study was carried out with a nonequivalent control group with pretest-posttest design. The study was composed of two groups, each made up of 24 subjects: experimental group and control group. The subjects were low-income women aged over 65 years with osteoarthritis and both the experimental and control groups were made up of subjects with the same age profiles. The independent variable was the health diary program, and the dependent variables were fall related outcomes (fear of falling, fall-efficacy, knowledge of fall) difficulty of performing activity, and mood state. The health diary program was performed for 50 minutes each session and twice a week for 8 weeks. Data were collected before the health diary program 10 weeks after the beginning of the program. Results: The experimental group showed significant differences in knowledge of fall, fear of falling, and mood state compared to the control group. However there was no significant differences in difficulty of performing activity and fall efficacy. Conclusion: The results of this study may be used as part of an education to prevent falls for low-income elderly women with osteoarthritis.

As population ageing and shrinking accompanied by dramatically expanded individual life expectancy and declining fertility rate is a global phenomenon, ageing becomes its broader perspective of ageing well embedded into sustained health and well-being, and also the fourth industrial revolution speeds up a more robust and inclusive view of smart ageing. While the latest paradigm of SA has gained considerable attention in the midst of sharply surging demand for health and social services and rapidly declining labor force, the definition has been widely and constantly discussed. This research is to constitute a conceptual framework of smart ageing (SA) from systematic literature review and the use of a series of secondary data and Geographical Information Systems(GIS), and to explore its components. The findings indicate that SA is considered to be an innovative approach to ensuring quality of life and protecting dignity, and identifies its constituents. Indeed, the construct of SA elaborates the multidimensional nature of independent living, encompassing three spheres - Aging in Place (AP), Well Aging (WA), and Active Ageing (AA). AP aims at maintaining independence and autonomy, entails safety, comfort, familiarity and emotional attachment, and it values social supports and services. WA assures physical, psycho-social and economic domains of well-being, and it concerns subjective happiness. AA focuses on both social engagement and economic participation. Moreover, the three constructs of SA are underpinned by specific elements (right to housing, income adequacy, health security, social care, and civic engagement) which are interrelated and interconnected.
