In Korea, there are increasing concerns on nuclear manpower demand and supply due to construction of domestic nuclear power plants and exporting nuclear power plant. In addition, aging of nuclear manpower is another important concern for stable nuclear manpower demand and supply. A shortage of skilled high-quality human resources resulted in massive retirements of senior workers may seriously undermine Korean nuclear competitiveness. This paper analyzed current state of aging of nuclear manpower based on statistical analysis on Korean nuclear organizations. The data used in this paper is manpower statistics of domestic nuclear organizations surveyed in 2001 and 2010. This paper analyzed trends of manpower change for 10 years and based on these analyses, has reviewed the level of the aging nuclear manpower by surveyed organization and integrated. Finally, this paper suggested to direction of manpower recruitment to cope with aging nuclear manpower and alternatives to find a solution to problems of nuclear manpower demand and supply.

This article investigates the patterns of workforce aging in each industry, and examines how changing industrial structure affected the labor-market demand for and employment security of older workers in Korea. The relative size of the industries that are major employers of older workers has relatively declined since 2001, resulting in a decrease in labor-market demand for aged persons. Changes in industrial structure that occurred during the last decade have also brought an overall deterioration in the extent of employment security of older workers. These results suggest that the economic environment surrounding policies aimed at encouraging the employment of older workers is not entirely favorable. This paper also points out that policy makers need to consider that employment conditions of older workers are highly heterogenous across industries.

농촌이 고령화됨에 따라 농업인력의 상당수를 60세 이상의 고령자들이 담당하고 있는 것이 우리 농업의 현실이다. 이에 따라 고령의 농업인들이 건강상의 어려움과 농작업에서의 재해 위험에 크게 노출되어 있다.

This study examines the contrasting effects of an aging workforce on organizational innovation and the moderating role of age diversity. By utilizing a knowledge-based view, this study asserts that an aging workforce can contribute to organizational innovation to some degree due to accumulated firm-specific knowledge and experiences as well as various social networks within and outside the firm. On the contrary, as the portion of an aging workforce increases, the negative effect of the aging workforce on organizational innovation can overwhelm the positive effects because of the limitations of new knowledge creation. In addition, this study explores the effect of age diversity to moderate the relationship between aging workforce and organizational innovation.Empirical findings showed that an aging workforce and organizational innovation had an inverted-U relationship, and age diversity moderated this curvilinear relationship as this study predicted. These theoretical arguments and empirical findings highlight the necessity to explore the complex effects of an aging workforce on organizational innovation as well as additional factors influencing the relationship between aging workforce and firm innovation.

This study suggests an alternative for solving quality-of-life problems of an aging workforce by seeking ways to utilize an aging workforce in corporations and society. This research empirically analyzed data from the 6th panel data of aging. Study results are as follows. First, it was confirmed that job satisfaction of aging manpower plays a mediating role in the relationship between quality of life and the job characteristics of an aging workforce. Second, it was found that the wage level of regular workers had a significant effect on job satisfaction and quality of life, and the job satisfaction of regular workers was mediated between wage level and quality of life. On the other hand, the wage level of non-regular workers did not have any effect on job satisfaction and quality of life. The results of this study suggest the necessity for companies to recognize the use of an aging workforce to improve social value. Furthermore, our results provide implications for domestic firms and government policymakers on how to use a domestic aging workforce and how to utilize regular and non-regular workers.

한국의 고령화는 미국, 유럽국가, 일본 등에 비해 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 이로 인해 노동인구의 연령대가 증가하고 청장년층 노동인구의 유입이 감소하고 있지만 기존의 산업 제도 및 환경은 고령자에게 적합하지 않다. 본 연구는 우리나라보다 먼저 고령화로 인한 문제를 경험한 선진국의 사례를 통해 고령자의 노동력을 활용하기 위한 방안을 파악하고 분석하였다. 선진국의 고령 노동력 활용 방안은 작업 환경, 고용, 교육, 근로 시간, 퇴직, 건강 측면의 개선을 통해 이루어졌으며, 여러 산업분야에서 고령자의 노동력이 활용될 수 있도록 고령자의 신체적, 정신적, 사회적인 특성을 고려하였다. 본 연구는 파악된 고령자의 노동력 활용방안과 이에 대한 고려사항을 분석하고 이와 더불어 고령 인력 활용을 위한 연구의 방향을 인간공학적 측면에서 제시하고자 한다.

This study aims to diagnose the military manpower shortage problem caused by the rapid decline in fertility and aging population in South Korea and explore countermeasures. To this end, it analyzes the trends of demographic changes and military manpower supply and demand forecasts in Korea, and evaluates major alternatives such as expanding female soldiers, introducing a voluntary recruitment system, and adopting advanced weapons. It also seeks to derive implications through case studies of military manpower policies in major countries such as the United States, Japan, and Germany. The results show that in order to secure sustainable manpower for the Korean military, it is necessary to increase the proportion of female soldiers, review the voluntary recruitment system from a long-term perspective, minimize the power gap due to troop reduction, strengthen incentives for skilled manpower, and draw social consensus on improving the military service system and defense reform. This study is expected to contribute to the establishment of future military manpower policies in Korea.

저출산 고령화 사회로의 진입은 대한민국뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 많은 사회 문제를 야기하고 있다. 그 중에서 고령 인구 증가로 인한 의료 수요 증가와 이를 뒷받침 할 의료인력 부족은 곧 다가올 사회문제이다. 4차 산업 혁명으로 인해 다양한 사회문제에 대한 혁신적인 해법들이 제시되고 있는데, 본 기고문에서는 다가올 고령화 사회에서 의료인력 부족 등에 의한 해결법으로 원격의료 지원을 위한 인공지능 활용을 다루고자 한다. 병 진단 및 예측을 위한 여러 가지 인공지능 알고리즘은 이미 많이 개발 되어 있으나, 일반적으로 딥러닝에 많이 쓰이는 인공신경망 구조인 합성곱 뉴럴네트워크(convolution neural network)나 기존 퍼셉트론(perceptron) 구조에서 벗어나 확률론적 인공신경망 중에 하나인 베이지안 뉴럴네트워크(Bayesian neural network)를 다루고자 한다. 그중에서 연산효율적이며 뉴로모픽 하드웨어로 구현 가능성이 높고 실제 진단 예측(diagnosis prediction) 문제 해결에 강점을 보이는 알고리즘으로써 naive Bayes classifer를 활용한 연구를 소개하고자 한다.

This study provides the insight into the aged employment provision issue for the aged-low growth era. For the purpose, we analyze the national trend of the age demographic and occupational employment in first. And then we investigate the spatial characteristics of employment of the aged in the Seoul Metropolitan area which has the highest elderly population by utilizing location quotient, factor analysis, and K-means cluster analysis. As the result, we found that the spatial distribution patterns of the residence and workplace of the elderly were nearly coincided with each other. Furthermore, five clusters of the aged distribution have been determined according to the industrial-occupational-demographic attributes. The result revealed clear spatial segrmentation: Most of elderly population of the research area have been engaged in the low-level service jobs, while elderly population employed to the educated-knowledged based high-level jobs has been distributed at a few cores. The results could be applied to the practical use for regional employment planning for the aged.
