우리나라의 인구구조는 1인 가구 및 고령가구가 점차 증가하는 형태로 변화하고 있으며, 이는 국내 에너지 수요에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 이 연구를 통해 1인 및 고령가구의 에너지 소비패턴이 일반 가구의 에너지 소비패턴과 구별되는 특징이 존재하는지를 분석함으로써 인구구조 변화에 따른 에너지 소비 특성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 지역고정효과 모형과 에너지 경제연구원의 가구상설표본조사 패널 자료(2013-2015년)를 실증분석에 활용하였다. 1인 가구는 다른 가구 형태에 비해 모든 에너지원에서 소비가 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 1인 가구 중 4060대의 소비가 가장 많았다. 고령화 효과는 에너지원에 따라 상이하게 나타났다. 고령가구의 전력 소비는 다른 연령대에 비해 대체로 많거나 비슷하였으나, 등유는 고령가구의 소비가 가장 적었다. 반면, 가스 및 총에너지는 연령에 따른 차이가 존재하지 않았다. 연구결과는 정부가 1인 가구 및 고령화로 인해 증가하는 전력 혹은 에너지 소비 추이를 면밀히 관찰하면서 이에 대응하기 위한 다양한 정책 방안을 마련할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

This study aimed to identify factors associated with depression by household type among the elderly in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The subjects were 72,812 elderly aged 65 and over who participated in the 2020 Community Health Survey. Multivariate logistic regression with complex samples was performed to analyze the data. The incidence of depression was higher in single-person households than in multi-person households. In single-person and multi-person households, depression was higher in women, those over 75 years old, those with middle school graduates or lower, those with a household monthly income of 1 million won or less, and those receiving basic living recipients. Factors related to depression among the elderly in single-person households were physical activity, sleep time, and drinking, among the changes in lifestyle due to COVID-19. Factors related to depression among the elderly in multi-person households were physical activity, sleep time, consumption of instant food, and alcohol drinking, among the changes in lifestyle due to COVID-19, and psychological concerns due to COVID-19. Promoting mental health and developing customized programs by household type is necessary to prevent depression in the elderly in the community.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the affection of plan configuration on human emotion using Virtual Reality. A total of four different plan configuration was selected according to the prior study and built using Virtual Reality. The EEG was measured and then calculated using FFT to measure human emotion in different plan configurations. The measurements were shown to lead there was a significant statistical difference in four types of brainwaves between the plan types(p<0.05). This indicates that there is a possibility of plan configuration may exacerbate psychological disorder among single-person household and suggests that it is possible to counteract those stress among single-person household by changing the plan configuration in the earlier designing stage.

Considering that the number of middle-aged single-person households is increasing, this study investigates dietary behaviors, nutrient intake, and mental health according to household type. Data were procured from the 2015-2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Totally, 5,466 participants aged 50-64 years were classified into 2 groups: a household with one member was defined as a single-person household, and households with two or more members were described as multi-person households. Single-person households comprised 10.63% of the total, with a higher average age, and lower income and economic levels than multi-person households. Compared to multi-person households, single-person households had a higher frequency of skipping breakfast, eating alone, and dining out, the moderately and severely food insecure group was more than 5 times, and nutrient intake and dietary quality were poorer. In the fully adjusted model, the odds ratios (ORs) of depressive symptoms were 2.35 times (95% CI: 1.39-3.96), and suicide ideation was 1.95 times (95% CI: 1.35-2.82) in single-person compared to multi-person households. Our results lead us to conclude that poor dietary intake in middle-aged single-person households affects the mental health, and the above factors should be considered when framing the dietary policy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of wife's employment status on the household expenditures of timesaving market substitutes for houseworks. Seven expenditure categories were considered such as food away from home, convenient/prepared food, housing care service, clothing care service, childcare, supplemental education, and domestic services. The data were taken from 1999 Family Expenditure Survey by National Statistical Office. The sample consisted of 29,963 households with 33.2% dual-income households. The average monthly expenditure for food away from home was 127,795 won for dual-income households, while 103.100 won for single-income households. The expenditure for childcare of dual-income households was over six times of single-income households'. Dual-income households spent over ten times of single-income households for domestic services. For most expenditure categories, households with wife working at white-color jobs spent more than other dual-income households. After being other household characteristics to be constant, wife's occupation had found to be related with the household expenditures for most market substitutes. For the expenditures on both food away from home and childcare, employed-wife households with any kind of jobs were found to have higher possibility to spend and to be spent more than non-employed-wife households. The households with wife employed at white-color jobs spent more on clothing care service and domestic services than the households with the not working. Employed-wife households had higher possibility to spend on supplemental education, but they did not spend more on the expenditure, compared to nonemployed-wife households.

This study aimed to determine the association between household types and healthy dietary practices among Korean adults. A cross-sectional analysis was performed using nationwide data on 23,488 participants from the 2017-2021 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Based on self-reported data, the participant household types were classified into single- and multi-person households. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for healthy dietary practices according to household types were calculated by applying multivariable logistic regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Of total, 11.21% and 88.79% were single- and multi-person households, respectively. Compared with individuals living in multi-person households, those in single-person households had lower odds of adhering to healthy dietary practices (AOR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.79-0.98) and consuming adequate saturated fatty acids (<7% of energy) (AOR: 0.78, 95% CI: 0.69-0.88). In addition, men and individuals aged ≥65 years living in single-person households exhibited lower odds of consuming adequate saturated fatty acids and ≥500 g of fruit and vegetables per day than those in multi-person households. Single-person households often find it a challenge to practice a healthy diet. Hence, nutritional policies and educational support that help individuals living alone consume healthier diets are warranted.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the economic lives of single households with the age of 30 through less than 50. The economic life was examined in three aspects; income, assets, and consumption expenditures and patterns. One hundred sixty single households were surveyed, with questionnaires for 15days from April 1 to April 15 of 2002, and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results were as follows: about 30.8% of total single households in the sample were in the income group of 1,500,000 thought less than 2,000,000 won. The size of income for the 30's was less than that for the 40's. Compared with male single households, female single households were more in both low and high levels of income. The saving rate tended more or less to be low. The more the age, the higher the saving rate. As for debt, the 40's single households, male single households, high school single households (compared to the 30's single households, female single households, university and graduate single households, respectively) were relatively higher. In general, the single households tended to have debts due to preparation for housing, credit over use. The assets tended to be managed by themselves. The economic preparation for the old life was done by banking system rather than insurance. The average monthly living costs was higher in the age of the 40's single than the age of the 30's single. The living costs of the female single households was higher or lower than those of the male single households. As for consumption patterns, there was the most in the expenditure allocation for food away from home, then for culture entertainmentㆍsocial life, and for clothing and shoes. As for the convenience of the consumption life in overall, there were more responses in moderation and inconvenience than in convenience.

본 연구는 유자녀가구를 가구주의 성별에 따라 남성한부모가구, 여성한부모가구, 양부모가구로 분류한 다음 가구유형별 경제적 빈곤실태를 비교하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 한부모가구라 할지라도 가구주 성에 따라 이질적인 사회인구학적 특성이 발견되었다. 또한 여성한부모가구주들은 대졸 이상의 학력을 가진 경우에도 상대적 빈곤층에 속할 확률이 높았다. 이는 단순히 인적자본의 확충만으로는 이들 가구를 상대적 빈곤에서 벗어나게 하는 데 많은 제약이 있음을 의미한다. 다음으론 경제적으로 취약한 한부모가구들에서 이전소득보다는 가구주 근로소득의 절대적 비중이 크게 나타났다. 한부모가구의 빈곤탈출을 위한 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 최저생계비 기준의 단순한 상향조정보다는 어린 자녀를 가진 한부모가족을 위한 직접적인 양육 및 주거비절감 대책이 요구된다. 둘째, 남성한부모가구의 경우에도 공적이전소득의 빈곤감소효과가 매우 적기 때문에 이에 대한 제도적 보완이 시급하다. 최저생계비 결정 및 집행과정에 있어서도 현재는 가구원 총수만이 고려되고 있으나, 사적이전소득의 격차와 기타 사회인구학적 특성의 차이를 고려하여 가구주의 성별, 자녀수, 자녀의 연령 등에 따라 차등화된 세부 기준에 따라 시행되는 편이 보다 합리적이다. 셋째, 저소득층 한부모가구주들을 대상으로 보다 나은 근로조건과 경제적 인센티브를 주는 근로연계형 복지제도와 대상자의 특성별 맞춤형 직업훈련 프로그램이 시행되어야 한다.
