정부는 주거안정과 주거수준이 향상 되었다는 평가아래 2015년 주거기본법 수립과 함께 주택정책의 목적을 '주택공급'에서 '주거복지'로 전환하였다. 그러나 부담 가능한(affordable) 주택이 점차 감소하면서 주거환경은 더욱 열악해 지고 있다. 주거환경은 아동이 안전하고, 건강하고, 교육을 잘 받을 수 있는 기본 요소이다. 본 연구는 문헌연구를 통해 열악한 주거환경이 아동에게 미치는 영향과 국내 아동의 주거빈곤 현황을 파악하였으며 국내외 아동의 주거정책 현황을 탐색하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아동기의 열악한 주거환경은 신체건강, 정신건강 및 학업성취와 인지발달에 부정적 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 129만 명(11.9%)의 아동이 최저주거기준 이하의 주거빈곤 상태에서 거주하고 있으며 특정 지역에 집중되어 있다. 셋째, 국내 아동 주거정책은 거의 부재하며 노인, 청년에 집중되어 있다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 정책적 제안으로는 유엔아동권리협약에 준수한 아동 주거정책 수립, 증거기반을 토대로 한 주거정책 시행, 중앙정부 책임 하 주거정책을 제안하였고, 실천적 제안으로는 지역사회가 주체가 되어 활동하는 아동 주거빈곤 예방활동, 아동 옹호적 관점에서 관계기관들이 연대하여 관련법, 정책, 공약 등을 분석하고 이슈화 하는 방안을 논의하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the level of anxiety about economic change in middle-aged and elderly people and to analyze the factors that influence this anxiety. The data, derived from Korean General Social Survey(KGSS) were collected from Survey Research Center of Sung Kyun Kwan University. The samples included 821 people over the age of 40, including 529 middle-aged people who were from 40 to 59, and elderly people who were over 60. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the research model. The findings from the analysis showed that age and subjective economic status had crucial effects on the entire group's anxiety about unemployment and poverty, housing prices, financial markets, and economic recession in the older life. For the middle-aged group, age in particular had crucial effects on all the components of its anxiety about economic change. For the elderly group, geographical region was the most critical factor that affected its anxiety about economic change, the elderly people who were living in metropolitan area and towns had more anxiety than those who were living in rural areas. In particular, region was the only factor that affected the elderly group's anxiety about financial markets, and economic recession. These results showed that specific age of middle-aged and elderly people had the crucial effects while their sex, educational level, and the employment status of their spouse had no effects on their anxiety about economic change. Objective economic indices such as their earned-income and other income including savings and pensions had no effects on their anxiety level. While as noted above subjective economic indices such as their standard of living compared with their parents, projected economic status, and level of socio-economic success had an effect on anxiety about economic change.

Background and objectives: One-person households are the fastest growing family type in Korea. They bring social concerns such as weakened social integration, increasing poverty and social isolation. They are not homogeneous but heterogeneous groups depending on their socio-demographic characteristics including generation. This study compared the life satisfaction level as well as factors affecting it among the three one-person household generations Methods: The 13th wave of the Korea Welfare Panel dataset with 1,187 respondents was utilized. For data analysis Chi-square test, analysis of variance and hierarchical regression analysis were employed. Generations are divided into three, namely young adult (20-39), the middle-aged (40-64) and the elderly (65 and over). Result: The life satisfaction level was highest among the young adult one-person household generation, followed by the middle-aged and the elderly generation. The common factors affecting life satisfaction of the three generations were physical as well as mental health, including self-esteem and depression. However, there were more factors different from generation to generation. As for the young adult, age, religion, and smoking were significant. As for the middle aged and the elderly, gender (male) and income were significant. Additionally, age, home-ownership and drinking were significant to the elderly generation. Conclusions: As there are differences as well as similarities among the three generations, policies for one-person households need to be devised considering these findings. For all generations, both physical and mental health policies are needed. For young adult strengthening social relations, providing decent jobs, and promoting anti-smoking policy are major agenda, and for the middle-aged and the elderly, assisting in social capital accumulation (for male), providing stable jobs and diverse leisure activities, and securing income. Additionally, for the elderly, expanding the social security system and housing support are needed.

This study investigates the differences among residental areas in the health, standard of living, and social relationships of female elderly living alone. The total of 501 subjects(185 from rural areas, 159 from fishing communities, 77 from the islands, and 80 from urban areas) were questioned from May to July, 2006. The research area was confined to Chungcheong Province. The female elderly living alone of this study were an average of seventy-three years old, had a low cost of living, and received little formal school education. Over sixty percent(60.3) of them lived on less than thirty dollars a month which was the recognized Korean poverty level in 2006. The female elderly living alone were evaluated as being in good health, but they themselves perceived their health as being poor. Observed by residential areas, the subjects in urban areas were lower in ADL, and both the urban dwellers and the islanders appeared to be higher in their satisfaction with medical services as compared to those in rural areas and fishing communities. The fishing villagers showed the lowest standard of living for female elderly living alone. The analysis of social relationships as seen in the different residental areas revealed that the female elderly living alone g in urban areas tended to be receiving social supports rather than providing for others, and subjects living in fishing areas and the islands proved to be relatively higher in the exchange of social supports. In relation to offspring, the female elderly living alone in urban areas had a lower frequency of meeting with their children and also a lesser degree of intimacy with them because they lived at a distance. On the other hand, subjects living in rural areas and fishing communities had a higher frequency of meeting with their children and a greater degree of intimacy with them even if they lived at a distance. The study also showed that the female elderly living alone in the islands had a higher frequency of once meeting per three week with their offspring and a higher degree of intimacy with them because they all live in the same islands. In conclusion, the subject living in urban areas appeared to be isolated from their offspring as compared to the other seniors in the study. The female elderly living alone in urban areas suffered from an insufficient network of relatives and neighbors, and they experienced a poor quality of relationships to their offspring. Almost all of the lone seniors in the study had a low score in social activities; however, the female elderly living alone in urban areas revealed a higher level of participation in volunteer activities, group activities, and educational activities. Nevertheless, the lone seniors living in urban areas were not satisfied with their participation in social activities. The subjects living in rural in fishing communities and the islands showed more participation in money-making activities. This study suggests that the policies for female elderly living alone should reflect the differences of regional characteristics.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to suggest the strategies for improvement of home-delivered meal services for the elderly, to identify reasons for recipients to get started with the services and to evaluate the attitude, acceptability and adaptation of recipients to the services from the perspective of life context. Methods: The data was collected through face-to-face in-depth interviews with eighteen low-income elderly recipients of home-delivered meals and analyzed using a qualitative research method. Results: The results were deduced as four themes which comprised of long-term vulnerable socioeconomic contexts resulted in entry to the services, conflicting acceptability to the services, passive adaptation to taking the services, and positive practices to cope with supplement free meals or other services. The service participation was initiated because of a combination of prolonged, vulnerable socioeconomic contexts, including poverty and unexpected life events such as diseases, disability, living alone, aging and unemployment. With regard to taking the services, conflicting acceptability was observed: positive aspects including saving living cost and good quality of meals, and negative aspects including lack of a tailored service and feeling of stigma. Although the recipients needed an individualized service, they did not express their needs and demands for the services and they accepted the unavailability as an accustomed, prolonged vulnerable socioeconomic context. With regard to lack of tailored services, either self-solution such as modification of eating patterns or community-based network and services were used. Conclusions: We suggest that a system to concretely identify recipients' attitude, acceptability and adaptation for home-delivered meal services should be developed in the establishment of a tailored nutrition support system for the low-income elderly.

인구 고령화는 출생률과 사망률 저하에서 비롯된다. 급속한 고령화 사회는 노인의 빈곤과 역할 상실, 소외, 건강문제 등 다양한 사회 문제를 유발시킨다. 이러한 문제 해결에 있어서 중요한 것이 노인의 여가 선용이다. 노년기의 여가 활동은 정신적 육체적 건강을 유지 발전시키는 등 개인 욕구를 충족시키고, 노년기 삶의 질을 향상시키는 데 중요하다. 또한 사회적 친밀성을 형성하여 건강한 사회구조를 만드는데 이바지 한다. 하지만 이러한 긍정적 요소에도 불구하고 실제 노인 여가활동이 여러 요인들에 의해 잘 활성화 되지 못하고 있다. 이에 다양하게 표출되고 있는 노인 여가활동을 지리적으로 살펴볼 필요성이 있으며, 이 연구는 65세 이상 노인의 여가활동이 지역에 따라 어떤 특성과 차이를 보이는지를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 서울은 타 지역에 비해 비교적 다양한 여가활동을 하며, 광주는 주로 집안에서, 고흥지역은 친목도모를 위한 여가활동에 주로 참여하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 여가활동 참여유형, 가정 내외의 여가활동 유형, 여가활동의 목적 및 만족도, 국내여행 빈도를 포함한 여가활동 등 많은 분야에서 지리적 특성에 따라 차이를 나타냈다.

본 연구는 노인일자리 지원조례의 형식과 내용을 분석하여 해당 조례가 형식적 타당성과 실효성을 갖고 있는지를 확인하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울특별시 내 자치구의 조례 13건을 분석대상으로 선정하여 각 조례의 내용과 구성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 조례의 제정목적과 사업내용 등 주요한 형식구성에는 큰 차이가 발견되지 않았다. 그러나 정책 적용대상 범위와 전달체계 관련 조항 유무에는 각 조례별 차이가 확인되었다. 특히 서비스에 대한 주민의 권리는 모든 조례에서 존재하지 않았으며 노인일자리 제공에 대한 자치단체장의 의무는 그 구체성이 부족하여 개선이 필요하였다. 실효성 측면에서는 전달체계 관련 조항이 없거나 규정의 강행적 성격이 부족하였으며 위원회 구성과 권리구제 관련 조항은 전반적으로 존재하지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 이 같은 분석을 기반으로 조례의 개선 보완 방향을 제안하였다.
