With the average life expectancy increasing thanks to better standards of living and medical technology, the number of elderly construction workers in construction sites rises every year to surpass the 450 thousand people in the construction industry (24.7% of all employees in the construction industry). Similarly, the percentage of fatal accidents involving elderly workers has stood at 41~46 percent for the past five years; note that this is significantly higher than the other age groups, making safety measures for dealing with this issue a matter of urgency. This study sought to propose appropriate safety guidelines for elderly construction workers aged 50 years and over by examining the changes in their physical and psychological functions and through the subsequent analysis of the current status and causes of fatal accidents involving them. The guidelines targeted ferroconcrete construction where accidents occur quite often; construction was classified into mold construction, reinforcing rod construction, and concrete construction. Mold construction was further classified into preparation, carry-in, processing, assembly, and disassembly, and reinforcing rod construction, into preparation/transport and processing/assembly. Safety guidelines for each process were presented by dividing them into three aspects considering the changes in the physical and psychological functions according to their ages and type of accident causes: work environment improvement, machinery and equipment improvement, and work method improvement.

자녀양육에 수반되는 시간적 금전적 비용부담이 기혼여성의 노동시장 진입과 경력단절에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 지적한 선행 연구들은 이에 대한 정책적 지원을 강조하였다. 사회복지정책이 발달한 국가에서 세대간 동거(co-residence)는 고령층의 의료 및 부양과 관련된 공적 비용을 사적 비용으로 전환하고, 공식적인 부양을 비공식적인 것으로 대체하는 동시에 기혼여성의 노동공급을 증가시킨다는 관점에서 정책 설정에서 주요한 개선방안으로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구는 "한국노동패널" 2차년도(1999) 자료를 이용하여 부모세대와의 동거상태, 부모 및 기혼여성 본인의 건강상태가 기혼여성의 노동공급에 미치는 영향을 살펴본다. Tobit모형의 추정 결과, 동거 여부, 여성노인과의 동거, 노동시장 근로를 하지 않는 여성노인과의 동거는 동거하는 노인의 건강상태에 관계 없이 기혼여성의 노동공급량에 정(+)의 효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 세대간 동거는 세대간 사적 자원이전 (intergenerational private transfer of resources)을 통하여 기혼여성의 노동공급에 긍정적인 영향올 미치며, 이는 세대간 사적 자원이전이 여성노인을 중심으로 시간자원의 이전이라는 형태를 취하고 있음을 의미한다.
