The purpose of this study is to explain the increasing trend of the aged population and its demographic characteristics. This study is based on the data for the aged population above 65 years old published by the Bureau of Statistics, Economic Planning Board. The increasing trend of the aged population has been analyzed and projected from 1955 to the year 2000. Some demographic charicteristics of the aged population including marital status, educational status and status of economic activities have also been analyzed in order to identify the problems associated with aging of population in Korea. The study offers the following conclusion. 1. The aged population index, the proportion of aged population to total population was 3.6 in 1975 and projected to be 6.6 in 2000. There has been steady increase of the aged population is reflected in changes of population structure. The proportional change of the aged population index was 100.0 in 1955, 109.0 in 1975 and 200.0 in 2000 respectively. 2. As for marital status of the aged population 77.6 per cent of male were married while 24.3 per cent of female were married in 1975. 22 per cent of male were widowed while it spouses died declined remarkable the mortality rate declined. 3. As the educational status of the aged, 77 per cent never attended school and 18 per cent attended from a primary school. This is very low and the number of educated men is higher than that of educated women. The rank ordering of schooling is city, Eub and Myeon in that aged. 4. The dependency ratio of the aged population was 5.9 in 1955, 6.1 in 1975 and will be 9.8 in 2000. It is gradually increasing as indicated above 20 per cent of aged population was economically active of these, they are employed in the following occupations as listed in order of the magnitude of the aged population employed. The employment status of the aged workers shows that a greater number of persons are self-employed than workers for another employer.

This study tried to construct a direction in regional planning concerning the structural relationship between the ratio of aged population and the industrial characteristics. We investigated this structural relationship incorporating the aged population index and the number of classified companies. We applied diverse statistical analyses to understand the relationship. We classified the number of companies to reflect regional industrial characteristics using the principal component analysis. We applied a multiple regression model to understand the relationship between these two indices. The aged population index represents the degree of being old divided by the ratio of juvenile population and aged population. We found that such industries as manufacturing, service, and conveyance increase the ratio of juvenile population. However, industries such as tourism, waterworks, forestry, agriculture and etc. have a positive effect on the aged population index. In addition to these findings, we believe that the efficacy of this study is the possibility that can be used as the basic data when central or local autonomous entities need to adopt rural development planning.

The aged population in Korea, especially in rural areas, has been growing rapidly. The welfare for the rural elderly has become a major concern, however we don't have enough information about that population; we don't even have detailed demographics of it. The present research is aimed at; 1) investigating the tendency and changing geographical distributions of the rural elderly, and 2) introducing GIS(Geographic Information Systems) as a useful tool in analyzing geographical distributions of the aged. The General Census Data from 1960 to 2000 was used to carry out this study. The major findings are; 1) There has been a gradual decrease in the rural population over the past 40 years, but this tendency has slowed down more recently; 2) It was observed that the 'oldest-old' group aged 85 years old and over has actuality increased in rural areas faster than any other age group; 3) The changing patterns of the elderly population were different in metropolitan areas and rural areas. In brief, there are far more aged people, especially of the 'oldest-old' group and females in rural areas than those in urban areas. These population, the 'oldest-old' or females, are the most vulnerable and have the greatest need for social welfare and social services of different kinds.

본 논문은 서울의 인구고령화 현상을 살펴보고 이들 고령자 취업의 지역적 특성을 고찰하는 연구이다. 서울시 구별 자료를 토대로 노령화지수와 장수도를 산출하여 시 공간적 변화와 차이를 확인하였다. 또한 고령자취업알선센터의 자료를 통해 구인처와 구직자, 취업자에 대한 분석을 시도하였다 그 결과, 서울의 인구고령화는 다른 지역에 비해 최근 들어서 빠른 속도로 진행되었고, 서울 내에서 각 구별로 지역적 차별화를 보였다. 고령자의 취업현황을 살펴보면 단순노무직 비율이 전국 평균에 비해 높게 나타나고, 고용의 지역적 차별화로 인해, 몇몇 지역을 제외하고는 고령자를 위한 고용기회가 충분하게 주어지지 않았다. 결과적으로, 구인처와 구직자, 취업자간에는 지리적 부조응(geographical mismatch)이 나타났는데, 이는 고령구직자가 자신의 주거지 주위에서 적절한 일자리를 얻기 힘들다는 것을 의미하며, 고령자의 낮은 이동성을 고려할 때 정책적 제도적 지원 및 개선이 필요하다고 생각된다.

본 논문은 인구센서스 자료를 이용하여 1980년부터 2010년까지의 163개 시군구 지역을 대상으로 한국 인구고령화의 지역적 전개 양상을 분석한 것이다. 이를 위해 고령인구의 일반적인 특징을 기존연구를 중심으로 정리하고, 고령인구의 분포 변화를 시계열적으로 파악하였으며 인구성장률 등과 관련하여 고령인구의 분포를 해석하였다. 1980년부터 5년 단위로 고령인구의 비율에 따라서 한국의 163개 지역들을 고령화사회, 고령사회, 초고령사회로 구분하였다. 지역적 차원에서 시기별로 고령인구의 추이를 고찰하면 1980년부터 고령화사회에 진입하였고, 1995년에 고령사회, 2000년에는 초고령사회에 진입하여 2010년에는 80개의 지역이 초고령사회에 진입하였다. 고령인구의 비율은 도시규모와 인구증가율과 깊은 관계를 보인다. 즉, 도시의 규모가 작을수록 고령인구비율이 높았고, 인구증가폭이 낮을수록 고령인구의 비율은 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 2010년 기준으로 수도권 대도시와 중소도시의 경우 고령화사회에 진입한 도시가 대부분인 반면 농어촌지역의 대부분은 초고령사회에 진입하였다. 지역수준에서 합계출산율과 고령인구는 관련성이 없는 것으로 파악되었다.
