초록

최근 디지털 플랫폼을 활용하여, 사회·경제활동을 수행하는 시니어들이 증가하고 있다. 이들은 디지털 플랫폼을 통하여 새로운 사회적 네트워크를 구축하거나, 수익을 창출하는 등 새로운 정체성을 형성하고 있다. 해당 플랫폼에 참여하는 시니어들이 점차 증가추세임에도 불구하고, 아직 이와 관련된 학술적 논의는 아직 미미한 상황이다. 이에, 본 연구는 디지털 플랫폼에서 사회·경제활동을 하는 시니어 17명을 대상으로, 심층 인터뷰(in-depth interview)를 수행하여, 그들의 참여 동기와 경험을 세밀히 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 디지털 플랫폼을 매개로 그들의 사회적 고립을 예방하고, 나아가 그들을 향후 디지털 경제의 주체로 유도하는 데 있어 기반 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 예측된다.

Recently, the number of seniors who engage in social and economic activities through digital platforms is increasing. Through this, they are building new social networks or creating profits. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct an in-depth interview with 17 seniors who are engaged in social and economic activities on a digital platform. This study examined their motivation and experience in detail through in-depth interviews. As a result of the study, three subjects (motivation for participation, evaluation and performance of activities, and requirements for stable activities) were derived. The results of this study are predicted to contribute to preventing social isolation of seniors by mediating digital platforms in the future and inducing them to become subjects of the digital economy.
