본 연구는 중·노년층 임금근로자의 고용형태가 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구로 고용형태 변수와 인구사회학적 특성 변수로 구분하여 분석하였다. 한국복지패널 12차 년도 자료를 활용하여 2017년 기준으로만 55세 이상 75세 이하 4,341명 중에서 주된 고용형태가 '상용직·임시직·일용직 임금근로자'이거나 '자활근로·공공근로·노인일자리'로 응답한 1,244명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 연령집단별로는 55-64세(중년층) 826명, 65-74세(노년층) 418명의 중·노년층이 포함되었다. 55-64세(중년층) 집단은 통제변수 중 배우자 유무, 주관적 건강상태, 기초생활수급유무, 평균 월소득 변수가 삶의 만족도 영향요인으로 나타났고 고용형태는 55-64세(중년층) 집단에서 삶의 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 65-74세(노년층) 집단은 교육수준이 높을수록, 배우자가 있거나 사별인 경우, 건강상태가 좋다고 인식할수록, 기초생활수급 경험이 없을수록, 평균 월소득이 높을수록 삶의 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 고용형태중 '자활근로/공공근로/노인일자리'와 같은 공공형 일자리에 참여하는 노년층의 삶의 만족도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 노년층 임금근로자를 위한 다양한 공공형 일자리 사업의 발굴과 확대 추진을 뒷받침하는 연구결과라고 하겠다. 따라서 기존의 기초생활 수급자 중심의 공공형 일자리 제공에서 벗어나 사업에 참여할 의사가 있는 모든 노년층을 대상으로 확대될 필요가 있다. 아울러 중앙정부 중심의 노인일자리 사업 뿐만 아니라 지자체나 민간부문 차원의 노인일자리 사업의 발굴과 운영을 위한 정책적, 실천적 차원의 방안이 강구되어야 함을 시사한다. 끝으로 본 연구의 한계점과 후속연구를 위한 제언을 제시하였다.

This study concerned with the characteristics and causes of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) for employees aged 50 years or older. In order to do this, based on 8,011 accident analysis reports, we analyzed the differences of characteristics between groups under 50 years and 50 years or more in terms of gender, occupation, duration of employment, part of body, industry, size of business and work-related factors. Results show that the distributions of the injuries aged 50 years or older are statistically different from those of the injuries under 50 years. Also, older employees have high relationship between repetition, or contact stress/vibration and upper extremity MSDs. These findings can be used to develop more effective MSD prevention programs for older employees.

This paper examines the effects of a universal childcare subsidy on childcare decisions and mothers' employment by using Korea's policy reform of 2012, which provided a full childcare subsidy to all children aged 0 to 2. I find that the introduction of a universal childcare subsidy increased the use of childcare centers by children aged 0-2, which led to less maternal care compared to that provided to children aged 3-4. However, the expanded subsidy had little effect on mothers' labor supply. Moreover, the policy effects vary by individual and household characteristics. The effects of the expanded subsidy are mainly found in low-income households and less educated mothers. Highly educated mothers and high-income households are likely to focus more on the quality of childcare service. These results imply that a simple reduction in childcare costs would bring only limited effects on mothers' time allocation behavior; thus, more attention should be paid to improving the quality of childcare services.

Purpose: The study addressed the adaption of middle- aged Korean women to menopause, including the use of Yangsaeng, a traditional health care regimen that incorporates specific principles and methods to promote health and prevent illness, with the aim of improving health and longevity of life. Methods: Middle-aged women (40~59 years, n=171) residing in Seoul and Gyeong-Gi Province. Data was collected by using a self-reported questionnaire. Menopausal period adaptation was measured by 29 items in four categories (physical, self-concept, role function, and inter-dependent). Yangsaeng was measured by 31 questionnaire items in eight categories (morality, mind, diet, activity and rest, exercise, sleep, seasonal, and sexuality). Results: Significant differences in menopausal adaptation were evident on the basis of participant education and income. There were significant differences in Yangsaeng in terms of participant education, nature of employment, and income. Menopausal adaptation positively correlated to use of Yangsaeng. Physical adaptation, self-concept adaptation, role function adaptation, and inter-dependent adaptation positively correlated to morality Yangsaeng, mind Yangsaeng, and activity and rest Yangsaeng. Conclusion: Middle-aged Korean women who practice Yangsaeng may be better positioned to adapt to menopause. Yangsaeng may be an advantageous nursing intervention in this population.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons and catastrophic health expenditures. Methods: This study used secondary data from the 2014~2015 Korean Health Panel survey. The subjects of this study were 21,495 people aged 20 or older, and of them, there were 16,227 people aged 20 to 64 and 5,268 people aged 65 or older, which were surveyed between 2014 and 2015. The association between unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons and catastrophic health expenditures was analyzed through logistic regression. Results: In 2015, 1.7% of people aged 20~64 years and 7.9% of those aged 65 or older experienced unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons. In the 20~64 age group, people who repeatedly experienced catastrophic health expenditures (=10%,=20%) were less likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons than those who did not experience catastrophic health expenditures for two years (OR=0.50, OR=0.41). However, in the 65-or-older group, people who repeatedly experienced catastrophic health expenditures (=20%) were more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons than those who did not experience catastrophic health expenditures for two years (OR=1.68). Conclusion: A greater percentage of the elderly repeatedly faced both catastrophic health expenditures and unmet healthcare needs due to financial reasons compared to the non-elderly.

우리나라 노동시장은 자영업의 비중이 크고 연령집단에 따라 자영업 비중의 차이가 크지만, 경기변동이 자영업 이행에 미치는 영향의 연령집단별 차이에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구는 한국노동패널 5~11차 자료를 활용하여 구축가설과 유인가설을 중심으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 실업률이 높을수록 자영업 이행률이 높아져 구축가설을 지지한다. 기업가 정신의 발현보다는 노동시장여건의 악화로 자영업으로 밀려난 것으로 볼 수 있다. 연령집단별로 보면, 청년층에 비해 30대와 40대의 자영업 이행률이 높다. 경제활동이 왕성한 30~40대가 주변부 노동시장에 진입할 확률이 높아서, 자영업이 특정 연령계층의 문제가 아님을 알 수 있다. 또한 40대의 자영업 이행은 직업기회가 제한될 때 급증하여, 경기불황에 자영업으로 밀려가는 것으로 나타났다. 40대의 고용이 경기변동에 취약한 것을 말해준다.

이 연구는 임금피크제의 성과가 기업의 경영 효율성을 중심으로 분석되었으며, 임금피크제가 고령자 고용촉진 정책으로 주목된 반면 이에 대한 실증적 검증은 제한적이었다는 문제의식에서 출발했다. 이에 따라 정책현장의 기대와 같이 임금피크제가 고령근로자의 노동가능성을 생의 후기로 연장하여 노동과 여가의 분절성을 노동과 여가가 조화된 통합성으로 전환 한다고 가정하고 고령근로자의 노동시장 내 연령통합을 중심으로 임금피크제의 성과를 분석하고자 했다. 2008년과 2012년 이루어진 사업체 패널조사의 원자료를 이용하여 1770개 사업체의 데이터를 분석했다. 분석결과, 임금피크제의 시행여부에 따라 고령근로자의 구성비, 정규직 평균근속년수 등에 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 특히 정규직 평균근속년수는 다양한 분석에서 임금피크제를 시행하는 사업체에서 유의미하게 높은 것으로 반복적으로 확인됨에 따라 임금피크제가 근로자의 평균근속년수의 증가와 긍정적으로 연관되어 있음을 확인했다.

This study was examined the general trends in social activity participation, the flow degree, and the psychological well-being of middle-aged women in Korea and explored how psychological well-being varies according to various sociodemographic variables, social activity participation, and the flow degree. This study provided practical insights into how the psychological well-being of middle-aged women can be enhanced. Data were gathered from 302 middle-aged women between the ages of 40 and 60 by using a structural questionnaire. The statistical methods included a descriptive analysis, a t-test, and a regression analysis using SPSS WIN 18.0. According to the results of the hierarchical regression analysis, the key variables influencing the psychological well-being of middle-aged women included the flow degree in terms of social activity participation and the education level. These variables explained 30% of the psychological well-being of middle-aged women. The higher the education level and the flow degree, the stronger the psychological well-being was. Social activity participation and the flow degree had greater effects on psychological well-being than sociodemographic characteristics. In particular, an increase in the flow of social activities increased psychological well-being. This suggests a need to improve the psychological well-being of middle-aged women by providing them with an environment where they can play social roles. One way to accomplish this is by linking retraining and life-long education-related activities to employment or volunteer activities. This study demonstrates the importance of the flow degree for the psychological well-being of middle-aged women. The results have important policy and theoretical implications.
