This study analyzed per capita expenditure (food expenses, housing expenses, health care costs, and cultural & entertainment expenses) by the consumption quintile for middle and older elderly households in addition to personal characteristics, household characteristics and economic factors affecting it. A sample collected from the 6th KLoSHA in 2016, was 2,983 households. First, among each per capita expenditure, the largest expenditure was food expenses, followed by housing expenses, health care costs and cultural & entertainment expenses. Compared with the first quintile of personal consumption expenditure, the largest increase in the fifth quintile was food expenses, followed by cultural & entertainment expenses, housing expenses, and health care costs. Second, compared to the fifth quintile of per capita food expenses, all other quintile had negative effects, and only the first quintile showed a negative effect compared to the fifth quintile of per capita housing expenses. The first, the second, and third quintile had a negative effect compared to the fifth quintile of per capita health care costs. Compared with the fifth quintile of per capita cultural & entertainment expenses, only the third quintile showed a negative effect. Third, in all quintile of per capita food expenses, the most influential variable from the first quintile to the third quintile was marital status, while in the fourth and fifth quintile included household income. In all quintile of per capita health care costs, health status was the most influential variable from the first quintile to the fourth quintile, and residence was in the fifth quintile.

This study analyzed per capita consumption expenditure by the consumption quintile of Middle and Older Elderly Households and the variables that affected it. Sample of 2,983 households was collected from the 6th KLoSA in 2016. First, when comparing the HH's living expenses by the number of family members, two persons to a person ratio, more than six persons to a person ratio were 2.007 and 4.148, respectively. The ratio increased as the number of family member increased; however, the rate of ratio increase decreased. Second, the per capita living expenses for the first and fifth quintile were 5.11 million won and 16.93 million won at the per capita living expenses that applied the OECD's equivalence scale to the HH's living expenses. The per capita living expenses for the fifth quintile was 3.31 times higher than in the first quintile. Third, among the variables influencing per capita living expenses by the consumption quintile, the marital status was the significant for all consumption quintiles; however, HH's income, HH's total asset, HH's financial asset, pension, subjective perception of the economy class, home ownership, residence (metropolitan or small city), education (elementary school), participation groups were significant in some quintiles among all quintiles. Fourth, of the significant variables influencing per capita living expenses, the most influential variables were first quintile followed by second quintile, third quintile, fourth quintile, marital status, HH's income, home ownership, HH's total asset, participation groups, residence (metropolitan), subjective perception of the economy class, in order.

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.

본 연구의 목적은 다른 노인가구 유형과의 비교를 통해 그간 노인빈곤 이슈로부터 배제되어 있던 '조손가구'의 소득구성원, 빈곤율, 빈곤동태, 빈곤가구주 특성 및 공·사적 이전소득의 빈곤감소 효과를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위해 제1차(2005년)와 제2차(2007) 『국민노후보장패널 학술대회용 자료(KReIS)』를 이용하여, LIS의 소득 정의 재구성에 따라 각각의 소득구성원이 추가되었을 때의 빈곤감소효과를 파악하였다. 분석 결과, 2006년을 기준으로 조손가구는 다른 가구유형에 비해 총소득이 가장 적었고, 소득수준은 자녀동거가구의 약 1/4 수준이었다. 또한 다른 가구유형의 근로소득이 시계열적으로 모두 증가하고 있지만, 조손가구는 유일하게 감소하고 있었다. 그리고 중위소득의 1/2을 적용하여 빈곤율을 측정한 결과, 조손가구는 약 10가구 중 3가구가 빈곤상태에 있었고, 가장 빈곤한 가구유형이었다. 사적이전소득과 공적이전소득의 총 빈곤감소 효과를 본 결과, 이전소득이 추가된 후 10가구 중 약 4가구가 빈곤에서 탈출하는 효과를 보였다. 또한 조손가구는 독거노인가구에 비해 공적이전소득의 효과가 상대적으로 큰 반면, 독거노인가구는 조손가구에 비해 사적이전소득의 빈곤감소 효과가 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 공적이전소득의 빈곤감소효과가 2004년에 비해 2006년의 경우 더 낮아지는 것으로 나타나, 공적이전소득보장에 대한 기능을 강화해 나가야 할 것이다. 그간 노인빈곤가구로 독거노인가구가 대표되어 왔으나, 조손가구도 독거노인가구만큼 빈곤한 상황이라는 것은 노인빈곤 이슈에서 조손가구가 배제되지 않아야 하며, 독거노인가구처럼 조손가구를 위한 맞춤형 소득보장 정책이 절실히 요청됨을 시사한다.

Recently, concern about family safety is rising again as an important issue with the context of family healthiness and well-being in Korean society despite of the dramatic economic growth. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of family safety of singles and single-parent households and to investigate the effect of social capital on the level of their family safety. Data are from the 10th wave of Korea Welfare Panel Study analysing one-person households(N=2,017) and single-parent households(N=172). One-person households were categorized as three groups by age(the youths/middle-aged/the elderly) and single-parent households were also three by family types(mother-child/fahter-child/grandparent-child). The major results were as follows: First, the mean of family safety index was highest among middle-aged, while single youths had the fewest problems in terms of family safety. Second, social capital was found to vary by family structure. In the one-person households, all the levels of the social capital variables, including trust, bond, acceptance, and participation, differed significantly; only two variables, bond and embracement, differed in the single-parent households. Third, social capital differed between the low-income households and others significantly. Forth, the positive effects of social capital on overcoming family safety problems were investigated. In conclusion, social capital represents an alternative resource for overcoming economic hardship for low-income one-person/single-parent households, especially for middle-aged singles and father-child single-parent households. Based on these empirical results, theoretical implications were discussed with regard to family policy and programs.

Determinants of consumption patterns of elderly couple and elderly single were investigated using the 1996 National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure by National Statistical Office. There were large differences in consumption patterns between the elderly couple and single in terms of monthly expenditures and average budget shares of individual consumption items. Consumption functions of individual items were estimated using double-log function. Major determinants of consumption functions were income, overspending behavior, educational level of householder, and net worth for both groups, householder's job status and city residence mainly for elderly couple, and age of householder mainly for elderly single. In addition, income elasticity of elderly households was larger than net worth elasticity for all consumption items.
