Purpose: This study was to investigate the needs for developing a health promotion program for the elderly, and to compare the health promoting behaviors and perceived health status between high and low income elderly. Method: The data were collected from 80 high) income elderly and 84 low income elderly through face to face interviews. The instruments used in) this study were the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) and Perceived Health Status. Results: 1) The total score of the HPLP for the elderly was 2.29. In the subscales, the highest degree of performance' nutrition', following 'stress management', 'spiritual growth' and 'health responsibility' and the lowest degree of performance was 'physical activity'. 2) The high income level elderly had significantly higher total HPLP scores than the low income level elderly. The biggest difference was found in 'physical activity' between high) and low) income elderly. 3) The mean score of perceived health status was 8.21. The high) income elderly had significantly higher perceived health status than the low income elderly. Conclusion: The above findings indicate that it is necessary to develop a health promotion program with reinforced physical activity, health responsibility for the elderly in Korea. In particular physical activity need to be increased for the low income elderly. The low income elderly need to have positive thinking for perceived health status.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between life satisfaction of the elderly and their transfer income (public transfer and private transfer income) using the 11th data of the Korea welfare panel study. In the analysis results, the public transfer income was analyzed to have a significantly positive (+) effect on the life satisfaction in the case of the elderly in general households while in the case of the elderly in low income households, private transfer income was analyzed to have a significantly positive (+) effect on life satisfaction. These results suggest that the public transfer income is 1,019,200 won (monthly average 849,000 won) in the case of the elderly in general households, and the public transfer income is found to have an effect to stabilize the income, which can be expected to increase the life satisfaction. However, in the case of the elderly in low income households, it was found to be 5,080,500 won (monthly average 424,000 won), half of the public transfer income of the elderly in general households. In the case of the elderly of low income households, it can be assumed that the private transfer income, which is the "uncomfortable" income source, fills up the unstable income stabilization gap and raises the life satisfaction. As a policy suggestion, first, by supplementing the basic pension system, which is an irrational part of public transfer income for the elderly with low income, it is necessary to design policy alternatives to enable economic stabilization of the elderly in low income households. Second, it is also necessary to actively review the introduction of income deduction plans for the transfer income of family members for the low income elderly households.

This study compared the financial status between the employed-elderly households and the unemployed-elderly households, focused on income adequacy, expenditure adequacy and net wealth adequacy. Using data from 1997 KHPS, the lower financial status of the unemployed elderly households were found. Nine measures of financial status were used : income, per capita income, income-to-needs ratio, expenditure, per capita expenditure, expenditure-to-needs ratio, net wealth, net wealth-to-income ratio and net wealth- to-expenditure ratio. The results of this study showed that unemployed elderly households had 68%~77% of income adequacy and 72%~83% of expenditure adequacy for employed elderly households. Holding for gender, age, education, earners in the household, living area and home ownership constant, although the gap was getting smaller, significant differences between the unemployed-elderly households and the employed-elderly households were persisted. The result of this study indicated that the unemployed-elderly households and the employed-elderly households can not be regarded ac homogeneous group when public policies are developed.

본 연구는 한국의 심각한 노인빈곤문제 해결을 위해 노인소득보충급여제도 도입 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 노인소득보충급여제도를 운용하고 있는 선진국의 경험을 토대로 한국의 노인소득보충급여 모델을 설계하고, 모델의 정책적 효과와 재원규모를 실증 분석하였다. 분석결과를 통한 정책적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 보충급여가 빈곤에 처한 노인의 상당수를 포괄가능하며, 노인의 빈곤 및 소득불평등 감소에 상당한 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 보충급여제도는 기초연금보다 재원효율성 제고 측면에서 더 효과적이다. 동일한 금액을 보장할 때 기초연금보다 보충급여의 재원규모가 훨씬 적었다. 마지막으로 기초연금과 보충급여제도의 조합에 따라 정책적 효과와 재원규모의 차이가 발생해 정책적 우선순위에 따라 적절한 조합을 구성하여 견고한 노후소득보장체계를 구축하여야 하겠다.

본 연구는 노인빈곤의 심화와 함께 노인 소득불평등 악화가 우려되는 상황에서 공적소득, 시장소득, 가족 소득 등 주요 노인소득원이 소득불평등에 미치는 영향을 확인하여 노인 간 소득불평등을 완화하기 위한 정책방안을 제안하는데 목적이 있다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인 소득원별 불평등 정도를 파악하기 위해 지니계수를 산출한 결과 전체소득 0.4809, 공적소득 0.4701, 시장소득 0.6735, 가족소득 0.1855로 나타났다. 한국 노인의 소득집단에 따른 소득원별 불평등 정도는 시장소득이 가장 크고 전체소득, 공적 소득도 매우 큰 것이다. 둘째, 노인 소득원이 소득불평등에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 전체소득에서 공적소득, 가족소득, 시장소득을 각각 제외한 소득의 지니계수를 산출한 결과 전체소득에서 공적소득을 제외한 지니계수 0.4864, 가족소득을 제외한 지니계수 0.5784, 시장소득을 제외한 지니계수 0.3609로 나타났다. 전체소득에서 제외한 소득의 지니계수가 전체소득 지니계수보다 약간 증가한 공적소득은 노인 소득불평등 완화효과가 매우 미미한 반면에 전체소득에서 제외한 소득의 지니계수가 전체소득 지니계수보다 매우 커진 가족소득은 노인 소득불평등 완화효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 제외한 소득의 지니계수가 전체 소득 지니계수보다 크게 낮아진 시장소득은 노인 소득불평등의 큰 원인이었다. 현재의 노인 소득불평등을 완화하기 위해서는 저소득층 노인을 대상으로 일자리를 제공하는 등 노인의 시장소득을 올릴 수 있는 기회를 적극적으로 제공해야 할 것이다.

This study aims to investigate factors that affect elderly poverty based on a comprehensive and universal perspective, suggesting some alternatives for improving the poverty rate of the elderly. The comprehensive and universal approach to the poverty of the aged that this study attempts can give a better understanding of the elderly poverty beyond the contribution of the existing literature, with the research model including individual, family, labor, and income factors as the causes of old-age poverty from the comprehensive and universal perspective on the causes of poverty of the elderly. In addition, the study attempts to input variants of variables into the equation for the causes of elderly poverty by using panel data from the 8th Korean Retirement and Income Study. This study employs decision tree analysis to determine the cause of the poverty of the elderly using CHAID. The decision tree analysis shows that the most vital variable affecting elderly poverty is making income. For the poor elderly without earned income, public pensions, educational careers, and residential areas influence elderly poverty, but for the poor elderly with earned income, wage earners and gender are variables that affect poverty. This study suggests some alternatives to improve the poverty rate of the aged. The government should create a better working environment such as senior re-employment for old people to be able to participate in economic activities, improve public pension or social security for workers with unfavorable conditions for public security of old age, and give companies that create employment of the aged diverse incentives.

본 연구는 노년기 경제적 불평등을 2007년부터 2018년까지의 한국복지패널조사 자료에서 지니계수와 10분위 분배율로 노인의 소득불평등 기여도의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과 전체소득의 지니계수는 2007년 0.430, 2018년 0.383으로 점진적으로 불평등이 줄어들고 있었다. 또한, 소득분위가 높아질수록 소득증가율이 높아졌다. 시간이 지남에 따라 시장소득 불평등은 증가하였고 공적이전소득과 사적이전소득의 불평등은 감소하였다. 전체소득에 대한 소득구조의 불평등 기여도 분석결과, 시간이 지남에 따라 사적이전소득의 불평등 완화 역할을 공적이전소득이 대체하고 있었다. 노인의 기초생활유지를 위한 공적이전소득의 확대는 사적이전소득의 구축효과에도 불구하고 중요한 노인 소득원이며, 노인의 소득구조의 구성요소인 시장소득, 공적이전소득, 사적이전소득은 상호 전체소득을 보완하는 성격이 있어 노인의 소득불평등을 완화하는데 기여한 소득원을 파악하여 정책에 반영하는 것이 중요하다.

This research is intended for 418 elderly women who reside in Seoul and the National Capital region. the survey and analysis are on the practical behavior related to purchasing decision making of brassieres for elderly women. The purpose of the survey and analysis is to induce contented and rational purchase activity for elderly women; also, to supply the fundamental sources which can support accomplishing scientific and systematic marketing activity to foundation manufacturing business. The main results of this study are as follows; 1. The elderly women tend to decide on purchase of the brassiere subjectively alone than rely on the informants and to listen to sales women's advice more. The younger, more educated and higher income of family, the elderly women tend more to depend on their own subjective sense than others' recommendations and rely on such mass media as TV and magazines for information source. 2) The elderly women tend to purchase their brassieres personally. In particular, the younger, more educated and higher income they tend more to choose their brassieres alone rather than with others. 3) The companions for elderly women's purchase were their daughter, daughter-in-law and friends. The younger, more educated and higher income, they tend more to accompany friends. The older, less educated and lower income, they tend more to be accompanied by their daughter or daughter-in-lay. 4) The elderly women are aware of the trademarks for brassieres. Although most of them know about their brassiere size, the majority of them tend to purchase their brassieres without trying on them. the older, less educated and lower income, they are less aware of trademarks and their brassiere size, and thus are less influential in their purchasing decision making. 5) The places of purchasing on which elderly women rely most for their brassiere are department stores, agent and markets. Other places are private haberdashery's, discount and pension shop. The department stores are most used by the less younger, more educated and higher income, while the markets are most often visited by those older, less educated and lower income, while the markets are most often visited by those older, less educated and lower income. The agent are favored by the medium class old people between two extremes.

Objectives: As the size of elderly population living alone grows, socioeconomic diversity has also increased. This study examined if social risk factors of poor self-rated health were distinguishable between the low income elderly and their non-low income counterparts both living alone. Methods: The '2006 Elderly Health Interview Survey' conducted by D-gu in Seoul was utilized. We divided the elderly living alone into two groups depending on their economic status: low income and non-low income. Employing logistic regression, we analyzed the associations of poor self-rated health with socio-demographic factors, health-related factors, social support, the relations with children, social activities, welfare service use, and the perception of neighborhood safety. Results: Proportion of rating one's own health being poor was different between two populations. Social support was important for the self-rated health of the non-low income elderly, while welfare service use, the perception of neighborhood safety, and the relations with children were noticeable for the low income elderly. Conclusions: To better understand the health need of elderly population living alone, their heterogeneity in socioeconomic characteristics should be taken into account.
