본 연구의 목적은 노동력의 사회적 특성적인 면에 있어서 각기 다른 산업에 종사하는 노동력의 "누가" "어떻게" 변화해 가는가에 중점을 두면서 한국의 산업 각 부분간의 변천과정을 조사하는 데 있다. 이 연구에는 1960, 1970, 1980년에 실시된 한국 센서스 자료가 주로 사용되었다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면 1960년과 1980년 사이의 한국의 산업 구조적인 면에 있어서의 급속한 변화를 보여주고 있다. 그러한 변화들은 주로 경제발전 정책과 더불어 농촌지역에서 도시지역으로의 인구이동에 기인된다고 하겠다. 예를 들면 1960년에 65%의 노동력이 1차 산업에 종사한 반면에 1980년에는 38.5%로 감소했고 이와는 대조적으로 1960년에 오직 8.7%의 노동력이 2차산업에 종사하던 것이 1980년에는 27.6%로 증가하였다. 3차 산업 역시 1960년에 23.8%에서 1980년에 33.9%로 10%의 증가를 보였다. 경제.발전이 이루어지는 과정에서 실업자들이나 잠재 실업자들이 경제활동에 참여할 수 있었기 때문에 경제구조 자체가 예전에 비해 더 안정이 되고 생활수준도 향상이 되었다고 하겠다. 이러한 결과는 부분적으로는 계속된 5개년 경제개발 계획에 기인된다고 할 수 있다. 경제발전 과정에서의 대도시로의 인구집중, 특히나 2차 산업과 3차 산업이 집중되어 있는 서울로의 인구집중은 주택, 교통, 범죄등 많은 문제를 낳고 있다. 동시에 도시지역에의 과잉 노동력의 존재와 농촌지역에는 특히나 농번기에 노동력 부족현상을 야기시키고 있다. 시간의 흐름에 따라 여성노동력의 비율, 전문직과 사무직 종사자, 그리고 서비스분야 종사자들의 비율이 증가하였는 데 비해 대부분의 다른 국가에서 처럼 한국에 있어서도 자영인의 비율은 경제발전 과정에서 감소하였다. 경제발전과 더불어 보다 전문화되고 조직화된 시장중심의 생산체제가 가구와 지역사회 중심의 생산기능을 흡수하므로서 많은 노동력이 임금 노동자가 되었다. 특히나 단순노동을 통한 많은 젊은 여성들을 고용하는 제조산업 분야에서 여성들이 낮은 임금과 과로 그리고 나쁜 작업환경으로 인하여 그들의 건강을 해치고 직업병을 유발할 가능성이 많다고 하겠다. 지난 20년에 걸친 급속한 정부 주도형의 경제발전은 노동력의 제 산업 간의 급속한 변천과 더불어 긍정적인 측면과 부정적인 측면을 모두 낳았다고 할 수 있겠다.측면을 모두 낳았다고 할 수 있겠다.

Background: From 2018 to 2020, the Expert Study on Public Understanding after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident (the Expert Study Group) identified and analyzed activities designed to promote public understanding of science and radiation since the Fukushima accident, and held discussions on how to achieve public understanding in the situation where public confidence has been lost, and how experts should prepare for dealing with the public. This panel session was held at the 53^rd meeting of the Japan Health Physics Society on June 30, 2020. Materials and Methods: First, three subgroup (SG) leaders reported their research methods and results. Then, two designated speakers, who participated as observers of the Expert Study Group, commented on the activities. Next, the five speakers held a panel discussion. Finally, the rapporteur summarized. Results and Discussion: SG leaders presented reports from researchers and practitioners in health physics and environmental risks who provided information after the Fukushima accident. During the discussion, experts in sociology and ethics discussed the issues, focusing on the overall goals of the three groups, local (personal) and mass communication, and ethical values. Many of the activities instituted by the experts after the accident were aimed at public understanding of science (that is, to provide knowledge to residents), but by taking into account interactions with residents and their ethical norms, the experts shifted to supporting the residents' decision-making through public engagement. The need to consider both content and channels is well known in the field of health communication, and overlaps with the above discussion. Conclusion: How to implement and promote the public engagement in society was discussed in both the floor and designated discussions. Cooperation between local communities and organizations that have already gained trust is also necessary in order to develop relationships with local residents in normal times, to establish an information transmission system, and to make it work effectively.

Objective : This study explores whether and how the amount of smoking differs by economic status and perception among the men in working age. Methods : The study utilized the 4th wave of KoWEPS containing the items on perception of economic conditions. Analysis was conducted on ever-married men aged 30-54, who have capacity to work. It used 2 stage regression model methods to examine the mediation effect of perception on economic status. Results : The results shows that the negative perception on economic status has a positive effect on smoking. Disposable income affects smoking only through the perception of economic status. Employment status exerts both direct and indirect effect on smoking. Conclusions : These findings imply that less privileged economic status is related to smoking through anxiety or stress for the negative perception on it.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a wisdom scale among Korean elderly with high validity and reliability. Method: The process of the development of this scale follows: A conceptual framework was identified based on literature a review of the elderly and discussion with experts in physiology and sociology. Total 128 items were developed. Through reliability testing, factor analysis, 60 preliminary items, and 4-points scale were selected. By a means of the internal consistency for 60 items, 33 items were deleted. Finally, 27 items were remained. To verity 27 items, factor analysis, reliability testing, and correlation were done. Data were collected from 480 elderly subjects in Daegu, Kyungpook Province, and Busan, Kyungnam Province from August, 2008 to February, 2009. Results: From the results of the factor analysis for 27 items, 3 factors were extracted. These factors were labeled as 'empathic emotion', 'self-reflection', and 'bitter experience of life'. Cronbach's Alpha for the 27 items was .921 and correlation coefficient of ego-integrity was .69. Conclusion: An exploratory study of the variables related to wisdom among the elderly is needed for criterion validity of this scale. A study on wisdom for different age groups is needed for re-verification.

As many existing research fields are matured academically, researchers have encountered numbers of academic, social and other problems that cannot be addressed by internal knowledge and methodologies of existing disciplines. Earlier, pioneers of researchers thus are following a new paradigm that breaks the boundaries between the prior disciplines, fuses them and seeks new approaches. Moreover, developed countries including Korea are actively supporting and fostering the convergence research at the national level. Nevertheless, there is insufficient research to analyze convergence trends in national R&D support projects and what kind of content the projects mainly deal with. This study, therefore, collected and preprocessed the research proposal data of National Research Foundation of Korea, transforming the proposal documents to term-frequency matrices. Based on the matrices, this study derived detailed research topics through Latent Dirichlet Allocation, a kind of topic modeling algorithm. Next, this study identified the research topics each proposal mainly deals with, visualized the convergence relationships, and quantitatively analyze them. Specifically, this study analyzed the centralities of the detailed research topics to derive clues about the convergence of the near future, in addition to visualizing the convergence relationship and analyzing time-varying number of research proposals per each topic. The results of this study can provide specific insights on the research direction to researchers and monitor domestic convergence R&D trends by year.

The purposes of this study are followings. First, I will compare the effects of wive's characteristics with the effects of the husbands' characteristics on the contraceptive use. Second, I will analyzed whether the determinants of the contraceptive use have changed according to parties. Third, I will analyzed whether the determinants of the contraceptive use at each parity have changed according to periods-especially, after and before economic crisis. According to expectation, the ratios using the contraception are affected by the wive's and husband's demographic characteristics, the determinants affecting the contraceptive use have changed by both parity and periods. The other findings are follows. First, women's employment status have positive effects on the contraceptive use, regardless parties and periods. Second, the ideology emphasizing the relationship between parents and children, rather than the ideology emphasizing the relationship between husband and wife, is more like to affect the contraceptive use.

This paper attempts to provide a new theoretical approach and an empirical analysis based on it to interrogate the structure of household income inequality and its changes in South Korea in the 2010s. Previous research on inequality in sociology, labor economics and feminism has focused on local inequalities which derive from specific spaces of society. For a comprehensive understanding of social inequality in totality, it requires a discussion of global inequality beyond local inequalities. Thus, a synthetic approach that integrates local inequalities, encompassing class, the labor market, population, and family. By using regression-based inequality decomposition, we decompose the contribution of gender, level of education, employment status, occupation, household composition and wealth to household income inequality. This paper shows that household and wealth, as well as the factors discussed in the previous research, are significant factors affecting household income inequality in South Korea.

Purpose: Reminiscence therapy is a widely used intervention for older adults and those with dementia. However, the attributes of the concept of reminiscence is not clearly proposed. The aim of this study was to clarify the concept of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia. Methods: The study applied the concept analysis method of Walker and Avant. The literature review included the previous studies of reminiscence from philosophy, literature, art, neuroscience, medicine, psychology, sociology, and nursing. Results: A total of 43 Korean or international papers were analyzed in this study. Attributes of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia were regeneration of memories, internal and external communications, expression of suppressed emotions, and recognition of ego identity. The suppressed emotions and ego identity may result from Korean cultural characteristics based on the suppressed environments of many wars and dictatorships in the past. The consequences of reminiscence in Korean older adults with dementia are cognitive enhancement, relief of depression, and improvements of social interactions, ego integrity, and quality of life. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the historical and cultural characteristics should be considered to develop effective nursing interventions including reminiscence for Korean older adults with dementia.

We should step forward from the cremation-centered funeral and consider the well-ending of the diseased from a welfare perspective. Therefore, it is necessary to re-highlight our funeral culture from a welfare perspective and to explore developmental policies in association with the well-ending of the deceased. This study aims to examine the changing history of funeral culture, to identify problems arising in the funeral culture of the Seoul Metropolitan City, and finally present policy and practice implications for funeral culture. We conducted the survey on awareness of funeral culture with recruiting 500 citizens in Seoul City. Well-ending culture is the process which secures human dignity until the last moment of the death and improves the quality of death culture. Systematic approach to well-ending culture will gain the objectives of qualitative improvement of the death. Therefore, the funeral culture paradigm should be shifted for the settlement of funeral culture applicable to aging society. Education for well-ending preparation will give a meaning of life for both the persons waiting for the death as well as the family members. We also should establish funeral facilities as culture welfare facilities where all the generations share.

Empathy is the ability to feel, understand, and respond to the emotions of others from the standpoint of others. Recently, 'sympathy' has emerged as an important issue not only in emotional empathy in relation to individuals but also in 'social empathy', which sees sympathy as a basic principle for maintaining society. This study focuses on the issue of empathy as a new driving force for modern society and focused on 'urban scene' as a spatial application for cultural empathy in the city. Urban scenes approach the city as a space of consumption, classify it according to its inherent attributes, and analyze its characteristics. This study approaches the existing urban scene theory in terms of empathy. In addition, as a way to consume city images reflected on contents, a concrete example of 'contents tourism'is examined, and a 'contents scene' is proposed as a new urban scene and its meaning and possibility are presented.
