Objective: The purpose of this study is to survey trend and the real state of ageing population in UK, and its charge organizations, relevant policies and studies. Background: As in other countries, UK population is ageing and people aged 65 or over account for about 17% of population in UK. Considering this ageing population, there are varying basic studies and policies for older people in UK. Method: First, the author consulted ageing and its policies in UK with some faculties in an UK university. Next, based on the results of consultation, wide literature survey was conducted, which includes papers in relevant academic journals, publications and website surfing. Results: A number of basic studies for surveying status and characteristics of older people as well as simple population trend for them have been conducted in UK. Healthcare services are free for all UK residents, and varying social care services including equipment, home and residential cares, financial support, etc., are provided by local governments. Cost of social cares is means-tested and is not free for everyone. There are a number of governmental or non-profit organizations dedicated to help older people access social care services or to financially fund research projects older people. Conclusion: There are more basic studies, and healthcare and social care services for older people in UK, compared to Korea. Application: It would be useful as basic data for establishing effective polices for old people in Korea.

Korean government enacted the 1st Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Population Ageing in 2005 due to the long-lasting ultra-low birth rate. Based on the Act, Korean government set up a step-by-step strategic goal and establish a basic plan, every five years, to achieve the sustainable development of society corresponding to low fertility and aging society. Over the past decade, the 1st Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Population Ageing (2006-2010) and the 2nd Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Population Ageing (2011-2015) was executed. This year, based on the achievements and limitations of the 1st and 2nd Basic Plan, the 3rd Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Population Ageing begins. In this manuscript, I discuss the background of the 3rd Basic Plan and its significance in oral health area.

Accelerated ageing with low fertility is one of the most critical problems in Korea. Because of ageing via low fertility, Korea will face a serious demographic cliff. This research primarily focus on the analyzing the dynamics of the marginal ageing state and decreasing population especially in Eup and Myeon region. This study based on the system dynamics approaches for finding causal loop structure of marginal ageing and critical mass of population disappearing. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, demographic marginalization trends have already begun in the Eups and Myons of Gun. Second, marginal aging speed in Eup/Myeon areas is causing an population disappearing in the near future. Third, critical mass of population disappearing will begin when the rate of marginal aging is exceed 82% after 2023.

이 글은 선진국, 개발도상국 그리고 한국에서의 인구고령화 현 상태와 추세를 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 2009년 현재 세계인구 중 65세 이상 노인의 비중은 8%이다. 한편 노인인구의 비율은 개발도상국(그리고 한국)보다 선진국이 훨씬 높다. 그래서 우리는 인구고령화 현상을 흔히 유럽, 미국, 일본 등 선진국에서 일어나는 현상으로 간주한다. 이는 잘못이다. 미래에는 인구고령화가 선진국보다 개발도상국 그리고 한국에서 훨씬 더 심각한 사회문제로 나타날 것이다. 인구고령화는 선진국보다 개발도상국(그리고 한국)에서 급격하게 진행되고 있다. 그것은 선진국에 비해 개발도상국에서 인구변천이 최근시점에 그리고 단기간에 이루어졌기 때문이다. 그 결과 현재 노년부양비, 노령화지수, 중위연령은 선진국이 한국과 개발도상국보다 더 높지만, 미래에는 그것들은 선진국보다 한국과 개발도상국에서 크게 그리고 급격하게 변동할 것으로 전망된다. 게다가 젊은세대의 부담을 훨씬 더 가중시키는 초고령인구도 선진국보다 개발도상국에서 급격히 증가할 것으로 전망한다. 그러므로 개발도상국에서 개인의 생존전략 혹은 정부정책을 인구고령화에 관련시켜 수립할 때, 우리는 선진국과 개발도상국에서 이와 같이 인구고령화가 상이하다는 사실을 고려할 필요가 있다.

Ageing induces huge dramatic change of society and economy rather than simple change of population structure. Ageing causes the decrease of working age population and production capable population, thus this brings growth slowness and long-term stagnation. In addition, progress in ageing decreases saving rate, consequently low saving rate brings about the decrease of country-wide investment resources. This ageing problem which is progressive rapidly needs core competence and implementation of human resource professionals to overcome this kind of environment change. First of all, it needs turnover in thinking way toward talents. Secondly, we need innovation one team to pursue innovation and creativity. Thirdly, it should be considered in a new way with the number of workers and efficiency of personnel expenses. Fourthly, employees should make effort for self-advancement. Under the environment with newly change human resource personnels' function and role should be emphasized to maintain sustainable growth and overcome the change of management environment. Therefore, human resources should be emphasized to become competitive personnel and organization with leading the change master and creating the value of the organization.

The purpose of this study is to examine the population changes in the nine Southeast Asian countries, including Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Philippine, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Vietnam, and Thailand. According to the demographic transition theory which described the transition from high birth and death rates to low birth and death rates, the demographic changes in less developed countries, including the Southeast Asian countries, follow the general pattern of the population changes that the Western countries had experienced. However, this theory does not consider the fact that the demographic behaviors such as fertility and mortality tend to be ethnocentric (or particular). Therefore, I examine in this paper both the generality and particularity of the population changes in the Southeast Asia . The analytic results are consistent with my assumptions. Every country in the Southeast Asia will soon reach the third phrase of the demographic transition and meet population ageing process. However, the timings arriving at the third phrase can differ. Singapore which is the most developed country had firstly passed through the demographic transition and the highest level of population ageing. Cambodia and Lao People's Democratic Republic, the least developed countries, will lastly arrive at the third phrase and the ageing society. In addition, among the three countries which had experienced war or civil war, only Cambodia had experienced babyboom.

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 논문의 목적은 한국 정부가 인구 고령화 문제에 대응하고자 저출산 고령사회위원회를 통해 제시한 고령친화산업 활성화 정책 분석을 통해 한국의 고령친화산업 발전을 위한 함의를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해 제1-3차 저출산 고령사회기본계획에 제시된 고령친화산업 활성화 정책 중에서 한국 노인의 대표 3대 고통 완화와 직접적으로 관련된 정책을 분석 자료로 하여 그것의 구체적 내용, 공통 핵심 논리와 그 타당성을 분석해 정책적 이론적 함의를 도출했다. 분석 결과, 제1차 기본계획은 경제적 빈곤 문제 완화, 제2차 기본계획은 신체적 건강 문제 완화, 제3차 기본계획은 신체적 건강 문제와 심리적 외로움 문제 완화와 관련된 정책을 제시하였고, 이들은 공통적으로 논리적 한계를 지닌 성공적 노화와 활동적 노화 개념에 기반 해 있었으며, 분야의 협소함, 내용의 부실함, 정책의 불연속성을 띠고 있었다. 이상의 분석 결과는 연속성을 담보한 고령친화산업 활성화 정책이 내실 있고 다양해져야 하며, 성공적 노화의 탈-맥락성의 한계 및 소비자본주의와의 선택적 친화성, 활동적 노화의 예방 중심성, 노인의 (비)심리적 자원의 사회성, 사회투자국가 관련 리에이블먼트의 한계로부터 정책적 함의뿐만 아니라, 노화의 모델화를 통한 이분법적 노화 인식의 한계를 넘어 노화에 대한 사회 구성적 시각이 필요하다는 이론적 함의도 제공해주고 있다. 끝으로, 본 논문의 한계와 함께 필요한 후속 연구를 제안했다.

Background: People who were born in different years, that is, different birth cohorts, grow in varying socio-historical and dynamic contexts, which result in differences in social dispositions and physical abilities. Methods: This study used age-period-cohort analysis method to establish explanatory models on healthcare expenditure in Korea reflecting birth cohort factor using intrinsic estimator. Based on these models, we tried to investigate the effects of ageing population on future healthcare expenditure through simulation by scenarios. Results: Coefficient of cohort effect was not as high as that of age effect, but greater than that of period effect. The cohort effect can be interpreted to show 'healthy ageing' phenomenon. Healthy ageing effect shows annual average decrease of -1.74% to 1.57% in healthcare expenditure. Controlling age, period, and birth cohort effects, pure demographic effect of population ageing due to increase in life expectancy shows annual average increase of 1.61%-1.80% in healthcare expenditure. Conclusion: First, since the influence of population factor itself on healthcare expenditure increase is not as big as expected. Second, 'healthy ageing effect' suggests that there is a need of paradigm shift to prevention centered-healthcare services. Third, forecasting of health expenditure needs to reflect social change factors by considering birth cohort effect.

The trend towards ageing populations has been observed over many years in Europe and the US but has accelerated significantly in developed countries in Asia including Japan and South Korea. In the latter country the elderly population (65+) has increased 5-fold between 1960 and 2000 and this group will comprise 40% of the population by 2050. This creates a new socio-economic group with specific demands and considerable spending power. As ageing occurs a range of changes occur in the body that can be moderated by adjustments in nutrition. A significant body of evidence points to changes in the balance of glutathione synthesis and utilisation as people age. Glutathione is tile most important natural anti-oxidant of the body and the amounts present can become limited by available cysteine in the diet. A cysteine-enriched peptide product, Cysteine Peption$^{TM}$ has been developed by DMV International for dietary supplement and food applications. A qualitative consumer trial has indicated benefits including improved sleep and more energy. Animal and clinical trial will be described that provide indications on bioavailability and possible mechanisms of action of Cysteine Peption$^{TM}$ with particular focus on the ageing population.
