본 연구는 고령사회에 접어든 우리나라의 인구구조를 제고 하여, 중장년층의 저소득층들이 느끼는 삶에 대한 인식을 고찰하였다. 분석을 위하여, 보건복지부에서 제공하는 2019년 복지패널자료를 토대로 필요로 하는 변수를 선정하였고, 총 14,918명의 패널표본으로부터 '저소득층'의 '60대-70대' 중에서, 무응답 및 불성실한 표본을 제거하여, 최종 1,684명의 표본을 선정하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 종속변수로써, 패널자료에서 측정한 '삶의 사다리'로 정의하였다. 이에, '삶의 사다리'에 미치는 개인적 특성 및 생활만족도의 영향요인을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 종속변수인 「삶의 사다리」 변수에 대한 영향요인으로, 개인적 특성만을 고려하였을 경우에는, 대부분의 개인적 특성이 「삶의 사다리」의 영향요인으로 나타났다. 또한, 경제상태변수에 대한 상호작용 효과를 살펴본 결과, 유의미한 상호작용 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 이는 중년노인들의 삶의 사다리에 미치는 영향요인은 경제상태보다는 건강상태가 유의미한 영향요인임을 반증해주고 있다. 따라서, 노인의 '삶의 사다리'에 대한 인식은 노인 개인적인 여건과 환경보다는 노인의 내적 및 외적인 다양한 '환경요인'이 노인의 삶에 대한 인식에 영향을 미침을 제고 해야 한다. 즉, 그들의 삶에 대한 인식에 긍정적인 대안을 제시할 수 있는 방안이 필요할 것이다.

The age range of the subjects was from 30 to 49 The final number of subjects in-cluded in the statistical analysis was 244. The result and conclusions are as follows: 1. Significant difference was existed in mini-style preference between high and low body satisfaction groups. Mini-style was pre-ferred by high body satisfaction group than low body satisfaction group. 2, Significant difference was existed in mini-style preference between high and low stress groups. Mini-style was preferred by low stress group than high stress group. 3. Regarding demographic characteristics unmarried 2 year college graduates with low family income in their early 30's pref. mini-style. 4. There was a marginal interaction effect of demographic characteristics on the relation-ship between mini-style preference and body satisfaction. The higher preference and body satisfaction.

본 연구는 저소득 장애인의 자립과 생활안정을 위해 지원되는 장애인자립자금대여사업의 현황을 분석하여 저소득 장애인의 자립을 효과적으로 지원하기 위한 방안을 제시하는데 목적이 있다. 연구방법은 보건복지부 내부자료를 확보하여 재분석하였고, 전문가 의견조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 첫째, 배정 예산은 81억원이며 목표가구수는 800가구이나 집행액은 약 56억원(집행률 69.3%), 대여가구 384가구로 나타났다. 둘째, 대출조건별로는 보증 58.5%, 담보 23.3%, 무보증 18.2%의 순으로 나타났으며, 대출유형별로는 생업자금 60.0%, 자동차구입 35.3%, 의료비 2.6%, 기타 순으로 나타났다. 또한, 신청자 대비 대출자 현황별로는 1,735명이 신청했으나 904명이 받아 52.1%의 대출비율로 나타났다. 셋째, 사업유지율은 74.7%, 폐업율은 25.3%로 안정적으로 운영되는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 전문가 의견조사 결과 우리나라의 사회적 경제적 상황에서 저소득장애인 개인노력만으로 자립하기에 어려움이 있으므로 국가차원의 자금대여사업이 반드시 필요하다고 나타났다. 대여목적, 대여한도, 대여조건, 절차간소화를 정책 수립시 반영하여 저소득장애인의 경제적 자립을 도모하여야 할 것이다.

Objectives: I examined the health and oral health status of elderly people living alone compared to elderly people living with their families by using data (2014) from the 6th Two-Year Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: Among 1,454 health survey respondents aged 65 years and over who participated in the 6th Two-Year Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2014, 311 were elderly people living alone and 1,143 were elderly people living with their families. Results: In terms of socio-demographic characteristics, the percentage of elderly people living alone was high especially in women and when the subjects' age, education level, and income level were low. In terms of oral health status, the percentage of elderly people living alone was high when elderly people thought that their subjectively viewed health was poor and the frequency of drinking and exercise was low. In terms of oral health status, the percentage of elderly people living alone was high among elderly people who did not have good oral health in their subjective view and did not get oral examinations for a year and had a lot of difficulty chewing. Conclusions: Family support or additional social support for elderly people who live alone should be considered to promote the healthy lives of elderly people.

목적: 본 연구는 노인의 가구 소득과 눈 건강과의 관계를 확인함으로써 노인의 눈 건강 불평등 정도를 알아보고, 향후 저소득층 노인의 삶의 질 향상을 위한 안보건 정책 수립의 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 방법: 국민건강영양조사(2009) 데이터를 이용하여 만 65세 이상의 노인 1,668명을 대상으로 가구 소득에 따른 눈 건강 관련요인(시력, 백내장 유무, 군날개 유무, 안압, 망막이상소견, 나이관련 황반변성, 당뇨망막병증, 근시, 원시, 난시, 부동시 유병률)을 t-test 및 ${\chi}^2$ 검정하였다. 결과: 자동굴절계검사의 굴절이상도와 안압은 저소득군이 낮았고, 나안시력과 교정시력은 0.1~0.5 미만에서 저소득군이 높았고, 원시는 고소득군에서 높았다. 백내장과 최대교정시력 0.8미만인 사람의 백내장 유병여부는 저소득군에서 더 높게 발생하였고, 흡연, 음주, 직업, 교육수준과 유의한 관계가 있었다. 결론: 노인의 가구 소득에 따른 눈 건강 불평등이 존재함을 알 수 있었고, 특히 백내장은 삶의 질과 밀접한 관계가 있는 안질환으로 저소득층 노인의 눈 건강 불평등 해소를 위한 안보건 정책이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was designed to search for the direction to develop housing service which assists the older people to live independently in their community and provides the systematization of community care. The subjects of the research include 533 older people between the age of 60 to 79 residing in Seoul and 84 welfare officials at a dong(in)-office and 67 social workers working at comprehensive social welfare institutions. The results were as follows: Both demanders and deliverers recognized that housing service for older people was necessary for community care, and, in particular, the deliverers had higher degree of necessity as people charged in welfare service. The most needed service was community alarm service which currently is proceeded partially for low-income and living-alone olders. It needed to expand the scope of the people to be served. It appeared that the need for inside safety measures rather than for housing space or structural problems. It requires less effort and cost for those who need simple repair, such as safety grips or slippery protection, and safety checks. Among financial support services, the need for tax benefits appeared the most necessary service for the older people. It suggested that more 'direct' financial support service is needed for the elderly people.
