The purpose of this study is to understand the diverse lifestyles of Korean older adults by analyzing the consumption pattern of older households and its determinants. The 9th wave of the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) data was used for analysis. The twenty consumption items provided by the dataset was reduced to thirteen according to the consumption purpose inherent in the item. K-means cluster analysis and multinomial logistic regression was employed to categorize the consumption pattern of older households and to analyze the determinants. The results are as follows. The consumption pattern of Korean older adults was clustered into six distinctive groups named Breadwinner, Leisure-time pursuer, Friendly outgoes, Daily-life survivor, Illness sufferer and Shelter seeker. Breadwinner, Leisure-time pursuer and Friendly outgoes were lifestyles that earn and spend more compared to the other three. Nevertheless, they differed according to the family size, indicating that the parenting burden might have direct influence on the lifestyle of Korean older adults. Older adults without parenting burden and with high level of education and economic capacity were likely to show Friendly outgoes lifestyle. On the other hand, Daily-life survivor, Illness sufferer and Shelter seeker showed lower level of spending, indicating that for those lacking in economic capacity, urgent needs such as medical need or housing need dominates the lifestyle. The results call for adequate custom policies that best fit the needs of older adults.

In Korea, the population size of the elderly is rapidly increasing, and housing for them is emerging as an important issue. In particular, Aging in Place (AIP) has steadily been presented as a direction of welfare for the elderly. This study empirically examines the effect of the interactions of the elderly with their children on residential mobility for older Koreans. To do so, this study employed random effect logistic regression models with the dataset of the 2008-2020 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging. The findings are as follows. First, it was found that the interaction with their children increased the probability of residential mobility for older Koreans in both metropolitan areas and non-metropolitan areas. Second, as age increased, the interaction with their children tended to further promote residential mobility for older Koreans, but such effects varied depending on related variables. Third, it was confirmed that the possibility of further promoting residential mobility for older Koreans increased through the interaction effects of the variables associated with the interaction with their children. This study suggests policy implications for the residential mobility of older Koreans, i.e., whether the interactions with their children improve independent residential environments by enhancing housing stability, in terms of AIP.

This study aimed to identify the factors influencing depression in adults with physical disabilities through a secondary data analysis. The study analyzed data from 867 adults who reported having physical disabilities in the 2018 Panel Survey on Disability conducted by the Korea Disabled People's Development Institute. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed using SPSS 29.0 with a complex sample design. The cause of disability was acquired in 98.1% of the participants, and 53.8% of them reported experiencing depression. Self-esteem (OR=0.18, 95% CI=0.08-0.39) and disability acceptance (OR=0.17, 95% CI=0.08-0.38) were significant factors influencing depression in adults with physical disabilities. These findings suggest that interventions aimed at promoting disability acceptance and enhancing self-esteem may effectively alleviate depression in this population.

This study analyzed what consumer characteristics affect the experience of using overseas direct purchase at a time when the overseas direct purchase market is rapidly increasing and consumers' interest in overseas direct purchase is increasing accordingly. For the study, personal data from the 2022 Korea Media Panel Survey were used, and data from 6,734 people who responded "yes" or "no" to whether or not to use overseas direct purchase among 9,941 total respondents were used for analysis. In addition, three variables (demographic, media utilization status, values and lifestyle) were selected among the items of the Korea Media Panel Survey. First, general characteristics were analyzed fo 6,734 people, then, Chi-square test and t-test were performed for comparative analysis between each variable according to the use of overseas direct purchase. Finally, logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors affecting overseas direct purchase. As a result of the analysis, 4 out of 5 demographic variables, 2 out of 3 media utilization variables, and 3 out of 7 values and lifestyle variables were derived as decisive factors for using overseas direct purchase. These results can be used to establish marketing strategies that can increase the use of consumers through domestic shopping malls, such as providing differentiated services for the sale of overseas direct shopping products on domestic shopping sites.

The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to identify different adolescent smoking trajectories in Korea; and 2) to examine predictors of those smoking trajectories within a social developmental frame. Data were from the Korea Youth Panel Survey(KYPS), a longitudinal study of 3,449 youths followed since 2003. Using semi-parametric group-based modeling, four smoking trajectories were identified: non initiators, late onsetters, experimenters, and escalators. Multinomial logistic regressions were then used to identify risk and protective factors that distinguish the trajectory groups from one another. Among non smokers at age 13, late onsetters were distinguished from non initiators by a variety of factors in every ecological domain. Among youths who already smoked at age 13, escalators who increased their smoking were distinguished from experimenters who almost desisted from smoking by age 17 by self-esteem and academic achievement. Finally, implications for youth welfare practice from this study were discussed.

The purpose of this study is to present practical implications for employment of people with developmental disabilities by analyzing the moderating effect of family employment support in the relationship between discrimination experience and employment of people with developmental disabilities. The subjects of the study were 394 people with developmental disabilities who participated in the 2nd wave 4th survey of the 2019 Employment Panel Survey for the Disabled, and a hierarchical binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to verify the hypothesis. As a result of the study, it was found that the experience of discrimination among people with developmental disabilities negative effects employment, and family employment support has a significant moderating effect, strengthening the negative effect of discrimination on employment. Therefore, the importance of improving the working environment reflecting the needs of families with developmental disabilities, the necessity of employment support policies, and strengthening trust with the state and local communities were discussed.
