본 연구는 노인문제에 대하여 이를 노인 개인이나 가족의 문제로 국한하지 않고 사회 전체의 문제로 파악하는 최근의 연구에 부응하여 노인문제를 사회문제의 측면에서 해결방안을 찾고자 하는 연구이다. 본 연구방법은 이론과 현장에 나타난 논쟁점을 중심으로 노인문제의 실태를 분석하였다. 먼저 노인문제에 관한 이론적 논거로 구조기능주의((structural functionalism), 갈등주의 이론(conflict theory), 상징적 상호작용주의(symbolic interaction theory) 등의 시각에서 노인문제를 파악하고자 하였다. 노인문제의 논쟁점으로는 노인 가구의 증가, 노인의 이혼 증가 및 재혼 감소, 노동시장에서의 배제, 그리고 정치적 참여와 자원봉사의 딜레마 등을 선정하여 이에 대한 현황과 그 문제점을 연구하였다. 연구 결과, 사회문제의 측면에서 노인문제를 해결방안으로 첫째, 노인에 대한 인식전환이 필요하다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 부정적 인식 제거해야 한다. 셋째, 국가와 민간의 상호보완관계 정립해야 한다. 결론적으로 사회문제의 측면에서 노인문제를 해결하기 위해서는 노인문제를 대상 노인 개인이나 가족의 문제로 국한시킬 것이 아니라 이를 사회문제로 공론화하여 사회 전체가 선제적으로 대응해야 할 것이다.
