본 연구는 저출산·고령사회에 따른 인구구조 변화에 능동적으로 대응하고, 노인복지에 대한 정책수립에 기여하도록 하기 위해 「노인복지법」에 대한 검토가 필요하다는 점을 전제로 하여, 「노인복지법」의 문제점을 찾아 이를 개선하는 방안을 제시하였다. 첫째, 「노인복지기본법」의 제정이다. 「노인복지법」 개선을 위한 제안으로서 노인복지법을 전면 개편하여 고령사회 노인복지에 관한 최상위법이자 기본법으로서의 지위를 부여하는 방안이다. 둘째, 노인 보건·복지 조치 및 노인복지시설 등에 관한 법률의 정비가 필요하다. 「노인복지법」을 재정비하여 노인의 보건복지 조치 및 노인복지 시설에 관한 법으로 그 법적 성격을 명확하게 개정하는 방안이다. 셋째, 「노인복지법」의 법률 체계를 재정비해야 한다. 현행 「노인복지법」에서 담고 있는 주요한 복지정책들의 내용을 그래도 유지하되 앞서 언급한 체계상의 문제점에 초점을 맞추어 개정하자는 방안이다. 결론적으로 현행 「노인복지법」은 제정 당시의 시대적 상황과 노인에 대한 기본적인 예우차원에서 이루어진 것으로, 저출산·고령사회에 대처하기에는 미흡한 점이 많다. 따라서, 본 연구는 인구구조의 변화에 따른 시대적 요청을 받아들일 수 있는 「노인복지법」의 개정 및 보완을 제시하는 바이다.

본 연구는 고령사회에서 노인빈곤 극복을 위한 일자리가 필요하다고 보며, 이에 못지않게 노년기 적극적인 경제활동에 대한 참여 방안을 연구하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 법제도의 개선이 필요하다. 노인일자리사업의 확대를 제도적 지원과 더불어 노인에 대한 인식 개선, 전달체계 등의 인프라 강화가 요구되며, 이와 관련된 법적 근거가 필요하다. 이를 위해 노인을 대상으로 하는 직종을 우선적으로 선정하여야 하고, 정부에서는 법적인 절차가 마련되어야 한다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 사회적 배려와 지원이 있어야 한다. 정년연장은 노인취업을 높이는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 법제도의 정비와 아울러 사회적인 배려가 필요하다. 따라서, 사회적 합의가 없는 노인정책은 실패할 수밖에 없으므로 사회적인 지원을 이끌어 낼 수 있는 다양한 지원방법을 강구해야 한다. 셋째, 노인들은 빈곤의식과 자력갱생 의지가 있어야 한다. 노인은 노인 자신이 자녀를 비롯하여 주위와 사회적 지원만을 요구해서는 안 된다. 노인 스스로 경제주체가 될 수 있는 길을 모색할 수 있어야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 노인빈곤의식에 대한 기본적 인식이 필요하고 노인빈곤을 탈출하고자 하는 인식전환이 필요하다. 따라서, 노인 스스로 자력갱생하는 자세가 필요하며, 노인 스스로의 능력에 따른 일자리 선택에 나서야 한다. 결론적으로 노인일자리사업은 고령사회에서 노인빈곤을 해결하는 소득증대의 일환이며, 노인들의 적극적인 경제활동 참여가 요구된다.
