Recently, the increase of single households are remarkable in Korean society due to various social and economic reasons such as aging and changes in values, and it is expected to bring many changes to social and economic structures and residential spaces. Increase of single households is a result of complex economic, cultural and social factors. It is because as the individual's financial independence increases due to elevated income and education level, the age of marriage is going up and the individualism, which values the individual's value rather than custom, is spreading. It is expected to accelerate further in connection with the changes in structure of population, such as a low birth rate and aging. As the number of single households is increasing, the development and marketing for single household products are actively growing. With the increase in consumption demand and need of growing single households, the multi-functional system furniture that can be efficiently and conveniently used in small spaces are needed, but the furniture manufactured in Korean companies are designed for regular housing and is not suitable for single households. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop multi-functional system furniture can be freely used in the housing structure of single household and small spaces.

본 연구는 제 6기 국민건강영양조사(2013~2014년) 자료를 이용하여 19세 이상 성인의 가구원수별 가구원의 영양섭취 및 대사증후군 구성요소의 분포와 대사증후군 유병율을 분석하였다. 본 연구결과에서 식생활 및 영양섭취상태, 대사증후군 발생은 가구원수에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 건강관련 삶의 질을 종합적으로 제시하는 지표인 EQ-5D 지수는 1인 가구에서 0.879, 2인 가구 0.927, 3인 이상 가구에서는 0.934로 1인 가구에서 가장 낮은 삶의 질 지수를 나타냈고 2인 및 3인 이상 가구와는 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.001). INQ 값이 1 미만인 영양소는 조섬유, 칼슘, 칼륨, 리보플라빈, 비타민 C로 권장량을 충족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 가구원수별로 유의적인 차이를 나타내었다(p<0.001). 1인 가구에서 단백질, 조섬유, 칼슘, 인, 칼륨, 비타민 A, 티아민, 리보플라빈, 나이아신, 비타민 C의 INQ는 2인 및 3인 이상 가구에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타나 1인 가구의 영양섭취가 질적으로 좋지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 식사의 전반적인 질을 나타내는 MAR은 1인 가구 0.78, 2인 가구 0.83, 3인 이상 가구 0.82로 나타나 1인 가구가 2인 가구, 3인 이상 가구와 비교할 때 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(p<0.001). 1인 가구 대상자의 37.2%가 대사증후군을 나타내었고 2인 가구 35.1%, 3인 이상 가구에서는 25.8%로서 가구원수별로 유의적인 차이가 있었다(p<0.001). 본 연구에서는 전국 규모의 대표성을 지닌 국가조사인 국민건강영양조사 자료를 이용하여 1인 가구의 식생활 및 영양섭취상태를 분석하여 그 특성을 파악하였다. 최근 1인 가구가 크게 증가되고 가구원수가 다양화되는 시점에서 가구원수별 구성원의 영양섭취에 대한 특성을 분석하여 제시한 것은 가정의 형태와 환경 변화에 적합한 맞춤형 식생활 교육의 근거로 활용할 수 있는 의의가 있으리라 사료된다.

It has been a long tradition in the field of nutrition that the degree of malnutrition in a community used to be estimated by the degree of the adequacy of nutrients consumption in the households. The adequacy of nutrient consumption in the households then used to be applied to estimate the degree of malnutrition of the children. Such a practice is theoretically acceptable in the community where the food sharing within the household is individual serving style such as in European countries. However, the community where the dietary habit in the household is communal such as in Korea, the estimation of single serving portion from household consumption is quite uncertain. Because of such an uncertainty this study is intended to test the validity of the household food consumption level as an indication of nutritional status of the children in the rural farm households in Korea. The date from the household consumption survey in 1982 by the Korean Rural Nutrition Institute has been used for the analysis of food consumption levels of the households. The survey on the nutritional status of children of 127 preschool children from 78 farm households, has been conducted during May 1983. The nutritional status of the children has been directly measured by weight, height, skinfold thickness, haemoglobin, haematocrit and morbidity of influenza and diarrhoea. The analysis has been conducted to distinguish the differences in prevalence of malnutrition of children from the estimated of household consumption and that of from the direct measurement of nutritional status of children. The results show that the degree of malnutrition of the estimated by the household consumption level has not related with the prevalence of malnutrition by the direct measures of nutritional status of the children. Therefore, the validity of household consumption level as an indication of nutrional status in a same household is quite uncertain for the population studied.

본 연구에서는 토빗모형을 이용하여 1인가구의 소비패턴이 연령별, 소득별로 얼마나 다른지 추정하였다. 분석을 위해 2006년부터 2012년까지 통계청 가계동향조사의 지출 데이터를 이용하였다. 추정결과, 음식료품, 주거 및 수도광열, 통신 지출을 제외한 모든 품목에서 1인가구의 소득탄력성은 1보다 크게 나타났으며 품목별로 다른 소비 특성을 보인다는 것을 확인했다. 또한 1인가구의 품목별 소득탄력성은 연령별, 소득별로 크게 차이를 보였다. 향후 1인가구의 관련 정책 또는 기업의 전략을 수립할 때 연령별, 소득별로 차별화된 접근이 필요할 것이다. 특히 기업은 1인가구 중 고소득 미혼자 그룹 등 구매력이 큰 소비자의 소비를 이끌어내는 전략이 필요할 것이다. 1인가구가 증가함에 따라서 음식료품이나 에너지 등과 같은 필수재구매 비중이 줄어들고 서비스에 대한 수요가 늘어날 것이다. 따라서 1인가구 증가에 따른 보건, 의료, 기사지원 등 서비스 시장 확대에 대비한 정책 대응이 필요하다.

Objective: This study was conducted to provide basic data for the establishment of effective health policies for the unmet medical experience that may occur among the elderly depending on whether they live in a singleperson household or not. Methodology: This study used data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019-2020) and excluded cases with missing values in variables for the total number of respondent participants of 15,469. Finally, 2,850 subjects aged 65 or older were selected for final analysis. This study examined the relationship between experiences of unmet medical needs, attempting to confirm the relationship between single-person households and unmet medical needs through subgroup analysis considering gender, age, and household income. Results: According to the results, in the case of single-person households, the odds ratio (OR) for unmet medical needs was significantly higher at 1.60 times (95% CI: 1.16-2.21). Upon conducting subgroup analyses for gender, age, and household income quintiles, the OR was significantly higher at 2.24 times (95% CI: 1.14-4.41) for males and 1.48 times (95% CI: 1.02-2.14) for females, statistically significant in both cases. For individuals aged 65-69, the OR was significantly higher at 1.90 times (95% CI: 1.04-3.47), but for those aged 70-74 and over 75, it was not statistically significant. In the case of households with 'low' income, the OR was higher at 1.62 times (95% CI: 1.16-2.26), and for 'middle' income, it was significantly higher at 3.21 times (95% CI: 1.08-9.51). Conclusion: This study confirmed that the experience of unmet medical care is high among men who make up single-person households and low-income seniors. Therefore, this study suggests that policies to expand medical services and support welfare for single-person households should be established to resolve these problems, showing that health policies that take into account individual and regional characteristics are needed to improve medical accessibility for single-person households.

Because of rapid aging, housing stability of elderly household is becoming an important social problem. The population of the elderly people was 11.3% and that of the elderly household was 23.2%, about 407 million, in 2010. Yet, social policies for elderly people are focusing on the household who takes care of the elderly people, not on the elderly headed households. These policies fail to reflect the reality. Housing satisfaction of the elderly household is different based on the tenure type and the satisfaction can be further affected by the types of elderly household within the same tenure group. Thus, strengthening the policies for the elderly headed households as well as differentiating the policies based on the types of household is required in order to meet the needs of the elderly households. For the elderly household living in a rent house in a city, a housing voucher is needed and for the low income elders who own their houses, housing renovation is required. Public housing affects only the residential satisfaction of single elderly households, not for all elderly households probably because public housing does not meet the demand of the elderly households appropriately. Since the elderly households wanting to move is noticeably small, a policy that provides proper facilities within the elders' neighborhood is most necessary. Also, in order to lessen the burden of housing expenses of the elders with low income, a public housing policy, in which 2-3 people living together in one public housing, needs to be examined.

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of household characteristics to family savings. Family savings were defined in four ways such as monthly savings, average propensity to save, financial assets, and net financial assets. The household characteristics dealt with were family income, household size, number of earners, age, occupation, education, housing tenure, and urbanization. The data used in the study was Survey of Family Finance 1990. The main statistical method was multiple regression. Family income was found to the most important variable to determine four family saving variables holding other characteristics constant. Also, household size had significant negative effects on family savings. Two-earner households were found to have higher average propensity to save and less financial assets compared to single-earner households. Fro monthly savings and average propensity to save, the households with forties andfifties household head tended to be less than others, while financial assets tended to increase with the age of household head. Compared to salary earner households, blue-colored households had significantly lower average propensity to save, and the households with professionals had significantly higher financial assets. The college-graduated households tended to have less monthly savings than the elementary-graduated households. Also, the housing renters were found to have more monthly savings and higher average propensity to save, compared to the housing owners.
