본 연구에서는 노인으로만 구성된 가구를 대상으로 선행 연구에서 다루지 않은 설명변수를 투입하고, 패널분석(panel data model)을 활용하여 노인의 특성별로 이들의 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 살펴보았다. 분석 결과 노인 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 연령, 학력, 혼인상태, 자산, 거주지역 등과 함께 과거의 직업력이 중요한 요인임이 확인되었으며, 노인 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 노인의 특성별로 다른 결과를 가져왔다. 이러한 분석 결과는 노후의 상황만을 고려한 노인의 탈빈곤정책은 사후적이라는 문제를 제기한다. 따라서 잠재적으로 노인 빈곤층이 될 수 있는 현재의 근로빈곤층에 대한 정책의 중요성과, 현재 보험방식으로 이루어지고 있는 공적연금제도의 전환을 위한 노력을 시사한다.

Background: This study purposed to analyze the relationship between the local extinction index and medical service uses of chronic diseases. The local extinction index is an indicator of the demographic structure and population aging of the region. Methods: The 2014-2018 statistics of National Health Insurance Corporation and Korean Statistical Information Service data were used for the analysis. First, descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general status of research variables. Second, a panel analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between the local extinction index and medical service uses of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, periodontal disease, arthritis, mental health, epidemic disease, liver disease). Medical service uses were measured by the number of visits/inpatient days and medical charges of seven chronic diseases. Results: Panel analysis results showed that higher local extinction risks (meaning lower local extinction index) had a positive relationship with the number of visits/inpatient days and medical charges of chronic diseases. But the relationships were varied when the seven chronic diseases were analyzed separately. Conclusion: This study showed a significant relationship between the local demographic structure and medical service uses of chronic disease. Analyzing the local demographic structure will be an essential prerequisite step for implementing appropriate regional health care policies.

Purpose: This study analyzed the effects of a health policy capacity development education program as a publicprivate partnership (PPP) model in official development assistance (ODA) for health policy administrators. Methods: Between October 2015 and September 2017, 41 participants from underdeveloped countries completed the three-week education program at K university, following the official selection process of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and each country's embassy. Results: The effects of the health policy capacity development education program differed significantly according to participants' age (p=.043), country region (p=.045), and academic or professional degree (p=.007). Academic or professional degree significantly predicted the effects of the program (β=.41, p=.007), explaining 21.7% of the variance in the regression model. Conclusion: The current selection process for ODA program participants considers recommendations from each country's embassy to determine eligible candidates. The hosting institution's opinions or suggestions regarding participants' professional expertise or work experience, country region, or demographic characteristics should also be considered in the participant selection process.

가구원의 연령 및 성별, 가구원 수 등 인구학적 특성이 가계의 소비구조에 영향을 미친다는 점을 고려할 때, 급격한 인구구조 변화는 우리나라 전체의 가계소비지출 구성에 지대한 영향을 미칠 것으로 짐작된다. 인구학적 특성의 변화가 소비지출에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 가계소비지출 통계자료에 Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System(QUAIDS) 모형을 적용하여 소비지출 항목별 구성비 함수를 추정하였으며, 경제 성장률, 인구, 가구구성 등 추정에 사용된 설명변수들의 전망치를 이용하여 2005~2020년 기간 중 우리나라 가계소비지출의 구성 변화를 전망하였다. 전망 결과에 따르면, 우리나라의 가계소비지출은 향후에도 상당한 변화를 보일 것이며, 이 가운데 많은 부분은 인구학적 특성 변화에 기인하는 것으로 분석되었다. 소비구조의 변화는 산업구조의 변화를 야기한다. 따라서 자원의 효율적 배분을 위해서는 생산요소의 유연한 산업 간 이동을 촉진하기 위한 정책적 노력이 필요하다. 한편, 본 논문의 전망 결과는 기업의 투자계획 수립에 있어 유용한 정보로 사용될 수 있다.

Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the Korean elderly and their unmet dental care needs, by using the 2015 data from the $6^{th}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods: In total, 1,372 elderly persons aged 65 and over, who responded to the $6^{th}$ NHANES, were included in the final analysis. Logistic regression analysis was performed in order to identify any relationship between demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and unmet dental care needs. Results: The rate of unmet dental care needs was shown to be less by 0.799 times in the elderly who reside in dong than those who live in eup and myeon (OR: 0.799, 95% CI: 0.679-0.959). Unmet dental care needs were higher in participants with 'low' and 'below average' than 'above average' income, by 1.645 times (OR: 1.645, 95% CI: 1.087-2.366) and 1.172 times (OR: 1.172, 95% CI: 1.108-1.880), respectively. Elderly individuals living alone had a higher rate of unmet dental care needs than those living with their family by 1.157 times (OR: 1.157, 95% CI: 1.084-1.498). Conclusions: Demographic and socioeconomic factors influenced unmet dental care needs, causing inequality. Proper policy support to the vulnerable should be considered in order to enhance the elderly's access to dental care.

The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting cancer mortality inequality in Busan according to demographic characteristics identified based on the region's mortality data including cancer incidence and mortality rates, ultimately helping the region improve its existing health policies and establish a more effective cancer prevention policy. To achieve this purpose, this researcher surveyed data about all persons who died in Busan from 2006 to 2009. Data were analyzed with an SPSS 18.0 program using descriptive statistics, Chi-Square(${\chi}^2$), and Logistic Regression analysis. Findings of the study can be summarized as follows. First, in Busan, men were about two times higher in cancer mortality rate than women. Second, persons who died of cancer in Busan were significantly different from one another in terms of demographic characteristics, especially, age, marital status, and job. Third, factors affecting cancer mortality inequality in Busan included such demographic characteristics as gender, age at the time of death, marital status, educational background, and job.

Objectives: This study examined demographic factors hampering access to healthcare at hospitals and suggests policy approaches to improve healthcare management in Thailand. Methods: The data for the study were drawn from a health and welfare survey conducted by the National Statistical Office of Thailand in 2017. The population-based health and welfare survey was systematically carried out by skilled interviewers, who polled 21 519 384 individuals. The independent variables related to demographic data (age, sex, religion, marital status, education, occupation, and area of residence), chronic diseases, and health insurance coverage. The dependent variable was the degree of access to healthcare. Multiple logistic regression analysis was subsequently performed on the variables found to be significant in the univariate analysis. Results: Only 2.5% of the population did not visit a hospital when necessary for outpatient-department treatment, hospitalization, or the provision of oral care. The primary reasons people gave for not availing themselves of the services offered by government hospitals when they were ill were-in descending order of frequency-insufficient time to seek care, long hospital queues, travel inconvenience, a lack of hospital beds, unavailability of a dentist, not having someone to accompany them, and being unable to pay for the transportation costs. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that failure to access the health services provided at hospitals was associated with demographic, educational, occupational, health welfare, and geographic factors. Conclusions: Accessibility depends not only on health and welfare benefit coverage, but also on socioeconomic factors and the degree of convenience associated with visiting a hospital.

To investigate the causes of Korea's growth slowdown over the past thirty years, we estimate the contributions of major developmental factors, including i) demographic factors (changes in population growth and workforce age due to the demographic transition), ii) quality-of-life-related choice factors (changes in working hours, education, and the female employment rate), iii) structural change, and iv) the effects of productivity catch-up. Our estimates show that these four groups of factors account for approximately 90 percent of the growth slowdown, with demographic factors contributing approximately 30 percent and the other three groups of factors each contributing about 20 percent. We also show that the same factors explain most of Korea's high growth in the 1980s. These results suggest that Korea's growth slowdown is basically a consequence of its successful economic development and that the high growth and subsequent slowdown can be regarded as a single process. In addition, given that the factors examined here exhibit similar patterns of change in the course of economic development of most countries, we think that our estimation results of the relationship between economic development and changes in economic growth trends could have more general implications that go beyond Korea's experience.

This paper studies the long-run behavior of relative price dispersion among cities in Korea with a special emphasis on heterogeneous transitional patterns of price level dynamics. Formal statistical tests indicate considerable evidence for rejecting the null of relative price level convergence among the majority of cities over the sample period of 1985-2015. The analysis of gravity model suggests that the effect of transportation costs on intercity price level differentials is limited, while other socioeconomic factors, such as income, input factor prices, demographic structure, and housing price growth, play key roles in accounting for persistent regional price level disparities. Individual price levels are found to be better explained by a multiple-component model, and the deviations from PPP may be attributed to distinct stochastic common trends that are characterized by income and demographic structure.

The new paradigm of education in the cyber space is not limited by time or locations. The students do not need to attend classroom physically and simultaneously. This study tries to probe the relationships among demographic variables and instructional variables with students' satisfaction with the management class in a cyber university. The results demonstrate that demographic variables are not significantly related with students' satisfaction. Rather instructional variables such as personal interactions with professors, job related contents and careful reduction of difficulties countered during the class proceeding are more significantly related with learning satisfaction. The result shows the newly emerged internet based education system requires in-depth cooperation among professors, system engineers, education instrument designers, and students.
