노인자살률의 사회경제적인 요인에 대하여 다수 국가 간 비교분석은 있어도 우리나라와 특정 국가와의 집중적인 비교 연구는 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 OECD 국가의 일원으로서 노인자살률의 큰 격차를 보일뿐만 아니라 노인자살률 증감률의 정반대 양상을 보이고 있는 한국과 미국을 중심으로 거시 사회 경제적 요인과 노인자살률과 어떠한 관련성을 지니는 지를 일차적으로 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 한국과 미국의 지난 20년간(1990-2009)의 노인자살률과 사회구조적 요인간의 경향분석과 동시에 상관관계 분석을 활용하였다. 아울러 분석결과를 기초로 우리사회의 노인자살 예방에 대한 정책적 시사점을 제언하고자 한다.

Burden of disease analysis provides a unique perspective on health by integrating fatal and non-fatal outcomes, yet allows the outcome of two classes to be examined separately. Although many studies have shown the inequality in health outcomes across socioeconomic status (SES), an analysis and comparison of Disability Adjusted Life Year (DALY) between different socioeconomic groups has been rare. This paper calculates the DALY and analyzes the distribution of DALYs for different SES. This study draws from 3,278 cases from the survey on "The Livelihood and Welfare Needs of the Elderly (2004)". It first provides a comprehensive assessment of the burden of 10 chronic diseases of the elderly based on DALY. Then this paper analyzes inequalities in the burden of disease by the levels of SES such as education, income, family size, occupation, and subjective economic conditions. For the elderly, the burden of disease is the highest for hypertension, arthritis and cancer. DALY rate per 1,000 people for the most socio-economically disadvantaged group is expressed as a multiple of the standardized rate for the least disadvantaged group (Rate Ratios). Family size is strongly related to. the difference in the burden of disease between SES groups, and the elderly Who live alone have higher DALY rate than those who live with their family. Other significant variables related to SES groups include subjective economic conditions, occupation, elderly income, and household income.

Aging in place strategies such as residential remodeling have potential to enable older persons to remain in their own homes satisfactorily in terms of quality of life.

Using face to face interview with structured questionnaire, 115 elderly households were interviewed during April $25{\sim}June$ 25, 2005. Most of respondents wanted to stay in their own homes as long as they can and some of them remodeled their houses to adapt their physical and financial conditions and housing needs. Various factors such as financial problem and lack of knowledge about remodeling process, however, restricted their actions to realize their needs.

The Japanese elderly welfare policy has focused on facility policy for the aged and preventive care service for healthy elderly people. This paper has conducted a comparative analysis on Geriatric Gealth Services Facility and Special Nursing Home for the Elderly. For this, each service function has been divided into six categories; daily life / nursing and caring / medical service / management / supply / miscellaneous. Then the change in real structure by category has been analyzed through a plan analysis on case facilities. In the Geriatric Health Services Facility, the biggest change was observed in 'livelihood' among six categories. In the Special Nursing Home for the Elderly, 'the nursing and care parts' and 'medical service part' are decreased since 1999. At that time, the facilities started to be individualized and divided into a unit. To pursue home-like care instead of unit care, there was a change in construction planning to help the aged with dementia live a self-sufficient life.

As people get aged, we need to pay more attention to the elderly living condition with respect to welfare policy. The present study focuses on housing condition of elderly people living in rural area, and analyzes its determinants, periodical difference, and regional disparities, incorporating an index of minimum housing standard. This study applies multi-level logit model that has a strong statistical advantage that can take random aspects of household and regional context into account. We found that married couple household, presence of economically-active family members, higher education, specialized profession, migration and higher level of land price tend to lower the probability of residing in substandard housings. We also found that housing conditions for elderly people prove to be different by regions and it is particularly noticeable in mountainous rural areas in Gyeongsangnam-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do with the poorest elderly housing conditions. Results also implies that housing welfare policies should be implemented differently considering the target groups based on regional differences. We conclude with some additional policy implications for the elderly living in rural areas.

본 연구는 노인의 삶을 풍요롭게 하기 위해서는 현재 실시되고 있는 소득보장정책을 보다 강화하여 노인들에게 적용 가능한 노후소득 확충방안을 제시하였다. 소득보장정책이란, 일정 생활수준을 유지할 수 있도록 소득을 보장하는 정책을 말한다. 실업·질병·재해에 의해 수입이 중단될 때, 또는 노령에 의한 퇴직이나 부양자의 사망 등에 의해 수입이 상실될 때, 출생·사망 등에 수반하는 지출이 발생할 때, 일정 생활수준을 유지할 수 있도록 소득을 보장해주는 정책이다. 연구 결과, 노후소득보장 확충 방안을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노후소득보장을 위한 기초연금의 단계적 인상이 필요하다. 둘째, 국민연금의 소득보장기능을 보다 더 강화해야 한다. 셋째, 다층노후소득보장체계를 구축해야 한다. 넷째, 노인일자리 확대를 지속적으로 추진해야 한다. 결론적으로 노인들에 대한 소득보장정책을 강화하기 위해서는 현재 실시되고 있는 노인소득보장제도에 대한 재점검이 우선적으로 필요하다. 그런 후 이에 대해 점진적으로 노후소득을 보장해주는 방안을 제시해야 할 것이다.
