  • Recently, Korean baby boomers, which make up approximately 15% of the total population, have begun to retire. Their economic well being is one of Korea's most important social issues. The purpose of this study was to compare the economic structure of baby boomers' households with that of the prior generation, as well as to analyze the determinants of economic satisfaction from the perspective of "work" and "child educational burden." In addition, group comparisons were made regarding economic resource allocation between baby boomers and the prior generation and within baby boomers of different work and child educational burden statuses. Data from the 2nd wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA), including baby boomers and the generation prior to the baby boomers, were used. The major findings were as follows. First, the baby boomers had a different economic structure, level of economic satisfaction, and economic resource allocation when compared to the prior generation. The economic structure of baby boomers in terms of income, expenditure, savings and assets, debts, and trust in policies significantly differed from their counterparts. Second, the determinants of economic satisfaction and the propensity of resource allocation were different depending on whether they worked or had a child educational burden, respectively. Based on these empirical results, policy implications for the future economic well being of baby boomers were provided.

  • As the issue of population decline in rural areas becomes more pressing, long stay tourism has emerged as a potential response, yet research on this topic remains limited. This study aims to examine the effects of long stay tourism attributes on regional image and visitation intention, focusing on the second baby boomer generation reaching the legal retirement age in Jeju Island. The long stay tourism attributes analyzed include natural environment, cultural environment, safety of living, convenience of living, and job environment. The findings indicate that the natural environment, cultural environment, and job environment positively influence the regional image and intention to visit as long stay tourist destinations. However, convenience of living was found to have a negative impact on visitation intention. Unlike existing research on long stay tourism, this study identifies the job environment as a unique characteristic of long stay tourism and confirms its significant influence on visitation intention. Therefore, local governments aiming to promote long stay tourism should focus on developing job opportunities in rural areas and enhancing accessibility to these jobs.
