This paper examines the intergenerational time transfers between married women and their co-residing elderly parents, and how they affect married women's labor force participation and work hour. The sample was drawn from the "2004 Time Use Survey" conducted by Korea National Statistical Office and the Heckman's 2-step model was estimated to examine these relationships. We find that women's caregiving time for their elderly parents reduces their likelihood of participating in the labor force. On the contrary, parental time transfers for married women increases the probability of their labor force participation. We find no evidence that the actual hours of paid work is related to the time transfers between married women and their elderly parents. In other words, after married women decide to participate in the labor force, their work hours are not affected by the time spent for parents and time gained from parents to them. Parental income is positively associated with the married women's labor force participation whereas husband's income is negatively related. The married women working in service occupation and earn salaries work longer hours than those employed as laborer and wage workers. Having older parents and owning the second home reduce working hours of married women.

최근 인터넷과 디지털 기기를 능동적으로 활용하는 고령층이 점차 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 정보기술 활용에 있어서 취약계층으로 여겨지는 고령소비자의 기술 활용의지와 디지털 소외감 그리고 정보기술 활용을 돕는 조력자 경험이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향력을 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 인터넷 활용이 가능한 60대 이상의 고령소비자 총 311명을 연구대상으로 선정하여 온라인 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집 및 분석하였다. 연구결과, 고령소비자는 정보기술을 주체적으로 활용하려는 의지가 강하고 디지털 소외감을 낮게 지각하며 기술 활용 시 조력자의 도움을 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 회귀분석 결과, 디지털 소외감을 낮게 지각할수록, 기술사용에 있어서 조력자의 도움을 많이 경험할수록 고령소비자의 삶의 만족도가 유의하게 증가하였다. 본 연구는 첨단정보기술 환경에서 고령소비자의 삶의 만족도 증진에의 영향요인을 밝히고 정책적, 실무적 시사점을 제안한다는 점에서 가치가 있다.

Concerns about paid-facilities for the elderly with dementia from middle and upper class families have been discussed lately in Korea. Small-scale, home-like group homes for the elderly with dementia were developed in Sweden in the 1980, but they have not been effectively introduced in Korea where they remain a comparatively new concept. The group home, however, would provide a good alternative to Koreans who feel guilty when they have to leave their frail parents in large-scale facilities or hospitals instead of caring for them at home. The aim of this paper is, first, to define the care of the demented elderly who come from upper and middle class families in Korea and, secondly, to discuss the need for group homes to help care for them. A survey was done by questionnaire and was answered by 577 respondents who belonged to middle and upper class families living in Korea in December 2000. Methods of analysis were frequency, mean, and Chi-square. The results of this study were as follows: 1) the traditional notion that the eldest son should be burdened with the primary responsibility for a demented parent has weakened remarkably; 2) a small-scale long-term care facility was considered the most desirable living environment for the demented elderly; 3) the facilities families needed for professional hospitals for victims of dementia, senior citizen centers, large and small-scale long-term care facilities, day-care centers, and short-stay and service housing. The study also revealed that there was low awareness of the group home. The most preferred type of structure for group homes was a single-family detached house, and the most preferred management system was small-scale that could create home-like atmosphere. Additionally the respondents wanted group homes to consist of 6-8 residents with 2-4 persons per room. The results of this study strongly suggest that policy makers should encourage the development of smallscale group homes as an alternative form of housing for the elderly with dementia.

This study examines the clothing purchasing behavior of elderly female consumers based on their perceived age. This study grouped elderly female consumers by their perceived age and examined what influence the clothing selection criteria or fashion information sources have on individual clothing purchase behavior. From January $10^{th}$ to February $25^{th}$ 2008, data research was conducted on 194 elderly women in their 60s and 70s from Seoul. The SPSS 14.0 software program was used to conduct data analyses such as descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis, ANOVA, and the Duncan test as a post-hoc analysis. The results of this study are as follows: First, the elderly female consumers were divided into three groups, younger, average, and older according to their perceived age. Second, the factors derived from the factor analysis of their clothing selection criteria included personal relevance, practicability, conformity, and economic efficiency. In addition, three factors of advertising/media-provided, consumer-provided and store-provided information were extracted from the factor analysis of fashion information sources. Third, there were significant differences in personal relevance and conformity that depended on the perceived age of elderly female consumers for clothing selection criteria. Fourth, in the use of fashion information sources, significant differences were found in all aspects of advertising/media-provided, consumer-provided, and store-provided information sources that depended on their perceived age.

Corresponding to the rapid growth of the aging population without an adequate social safety net for the elderly, older people face great disadvantages due to sudden illness or poor health and a lack of support from the younger generation. Furthermore, older women are suffering from a drastic deterioration of their economic status because of insufficient retirement savings. Examining the impact of labor force participation and living arrangement on health status and life satisfaction in later life, it is important to consider gender differences in context of social policies for the elderly. Using data based on a stratified national sample of the elderly by the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), multiple regression model were used to estimate the relationships between labor force participation and health status and subjective life satisfaction concerning the quality of their later life. The result indicates that good health status and high level of life satisfaction are associated with the type of paid work status for the elderly men, but those are associated with the type of non paid work, such as family businesses employees for the elderly women. Significant differences in chronic health condition and subjective life satisfaction by employment characteristics are found among the elderly. In addition, older women's high level of life satisfaction was associated with the participation of the social activity. The major conclusion from these results should help us understand gender differences in the elderly and acknowledge further exploration of gender variations in these people's later life.

본 연구의 목적은 독거노인의 욕구를 지원하기 위한 ICT기반 독거노인복지서비스의 역할을 정립하는 것이다. 독거노인은 고령화가 가속됨에 따라 2010년 102만 가구로 증가 추세이며 정신적, 사회적, 경제적인 어려움 등으로 인해 사회문제로 대두되었다. 본 연구는 기존 시행된 6개 부처의 85개 노인복지서비스와 향후 제공가능 한 114개 ICT기반 복지서비스를 조사하였다. 이들 서비스를 Maslow의 욕구분류체계에 따라 유형화하고 오프라인, 온라인, 온오프라인병행 서비스로 구분하였다. 연구의 결과는 안전욕구(의료 건강), 자아실현욕구(여가 문화) 서비스에 집중되어 있고 자존욕구 서비스는 저조한 것으로 나타났다. ICT기반 노인복지서비스를 통해 환경개선, 일자리 확대, 독립적인 일상생활지원 서비스는 개선이 가능하고 심리/정서지원 서비스 등은 추가 발굴이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과로 현재 제공되는 서비스의 편중은 완화하고 부재는 보완하는 등 ICT기반 수요자 중심 노인복지서비스를 통해 독거노인의 삶의 질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
