Human capital theory and social capital theory provide a framework for analyzing economic well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of human capital and social capital on the economic well-being of the elderly. The data from the 1st wave of KLoSA (Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging) were used (n=3,426). The major findings were as follows: First, human capital and social capital are both resources that can contribute to increasing the economic well-being of the elderly. Second, the effects of human capital on the economic well-being of the elderly were relatively higher than the effects of social capital. Third, the relative contributions of human capital and social capital to increasing economic well-being varied by sex, age, and region. Based on the empirical results, the implications for social investment in human capital and social capital were provided.

This study investigates income support, labor opportunities, and social capital by the demographic characteristics of the elderly who participate in the elderly job project, and especially the relationship between social and quality of life. We want to provide empirical data on how the elderly vocational business ultimately affects the lives of the elderly through the intervention of social capital. The intervention effect of social capital is as follows. Satisfaction with the elderly job project has a great impact on the quality of life, trust, network, and social participation. In particular, trust in the quality of life of the elderly had a great influence on the quality of life and was indirectly effective. In addition, the intervention of social participation between social capital was known, and the elderly job project increased social participation to improve the quality of life of the elderly. Therefore, it can be evaluated that the elderly job project has an important positive effect on the quality of life of the elderly, and the social capital formed through the elderly job project plays a role in directly or indirectly improving the quality of life of the elderly.

본 연구는 노인일자리사업이 노인의 사회적 자본 변화에 어떠한 영향력을 미치는지 규명하여 노인일자리사업의 효과성을 사회적 자본 변화를 통해 평가하고자 하였다. 노인일자리사업에 참여한 노인 중 사회적 자본이 변화하였을 때, 사회적 자본의 변화를 유형별로 나누어 참여노인의 인구사회학적 특성과 노인일자리사업 특성을 변화유형별로 비교해 보았다. 이는 노인일자리사업 참여가 노인 삶을 변화시키는데 직 간접적인 역할을 할 것이라는 실증적 자료를 제공할 수 있다. 노인일자리사업에 참여한 노인 중 사회적 자본이 변화하였을 때, 생활상의 어려움에 있는 노인층에서 사회적 자본 중 신뢰, 관계망, 사회참여가 모두 증가하였고, 노인일자리사업 참여가 생활상의 어려움을 가진 노인층에게 사회적 자본 증가의 효과를 주는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이들 사회적 자본 중 노인 일자리사업에 참여한 노인은 신뢰가 가장 많이 증가하였다. 특히 생활상의 어려움에 있는 노인층과 생계비를 벌기 위해 참여한 노인층에서 사회적 자본 중 신뢰, 관계망, 사회참여가 모두 증가한 것을 볼 수 있으며, 노인일자리사업이 생활상의 어려움을 가진 노인층에게 사회적 자본 변화의 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 모든 일자리유형에서 사회참여는 상승하였고, 생계를 위해서 참여한 노인층이나 생활상의 어려움이 있는 노인층에서 특히 사회참여가 증가하였다. 짧은 참여기간 동안의 조사로 나타난 결과이기도 하지만, 궁극적으로 노인의 노동참여를 통한 사회참여는 보호적 시장에서 이루어지는 것이 효과적이었다고 볼 수 있다.

This study examines the human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors that influence social participation among the elderly in the future. The data, 'Survey on the Elderly in 2014', were collected from 'The Ministry of Health & Welfare' and the 'Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs'. The samples included 10,279 elderly people who were over 65 years of age. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the research model. The findings are as follows. First, the highest participation awareness level of all was for the hobbies and leisure activities, and the lowest participation awareness level was for volunteer activities. Second, human capital factors such as age, education level, and health status, and economic capital factors such as household consumption expenditure and standard of living signigicant affected social participation awareness among the elderly. Psychological factors such as self-esteem, depression, and the subjective age of becoming elderly, also affected the social participation awareness. Third, awareness differed by sex. In particular, age and depression were restrictions of social participation awareness that were more common among elderly women than among elderly men, although single women were more likely to participate in religious, learning, and hobby and leisure activities. In contrast, chronic diseases and household consumption expenditures were more restrictive of social participation awareness among elderly men compared to elderly women. These results show that human capital, economic capital, and psychological factors heavily influence the social participation awareness of the elderly, although the degree of influence of these factors differs by sex.

Social capital theory provides a framework for analyzing the economic well-being. The purpose of this study is to analyze the age effect of social capital by comparing middle aged and the elderly, as well as to investigate the independent effects of social capital on their subjective economic well-being, respectively. The two concepts of "trust" and "social network" were used to measure the level of social capital. Comparisons between the age groups were made regarding the relationships between social capital and economic well-being of four age groups, including younger middle-aged, older middle-aged, younger elderly, and older elderly. Data from the $2^{nd}$ wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA) were used. The final sample for this analysis is 8,406 respondents aged 45~84. The major findings are as follows. First, the level of social capital, trust and social network, is statistically different by age groups. Second, the model fits in the case of model including social capital variables are all larger than their counterparts in the four age groups. Third, social capital is "resource" that can contribute to increasing the subjective economic well-being. Based on the empirical results, implications for welfare policies related with issues of social security for the elderly in Korea are provided.

본 연구는 노인들의 개인수준에서 사회자본을 어떻게 인식하고 있는지에 대한 유형을 분류하고 이러한 차별화된 유형에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 실증적으로 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구목적 달성을 위해 2014년 전국거주 만 65세 이상 1,060명 노인을 대상으로 조사한 '노인문제 및 지역사회자본 조사연구' 데이터를 활용하여 K-평균 군집분석과 다항명목 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요변수인 사회자본은 신뢰, 규범, 네트워크, 사회참여로 측정하였고 영향요인으로는 인구학적, 사회계층적, 정치종교적, 그리고 주거환경적 변수들을 선택하였다. 분석 결과 노인의 사회자본 인식에 대한 3가지 유형(사회자본 잠재형, 사회자본 단절형, 사회자본 풍족형)이 발견되었다. 3가지 유형들은 서로 다른 외재적 특징(나이, 교육, 생활수준, 주택소유, 정치성향, 종교, 거주지역, 주거형태)을 가지고 있었다. 사회자본 잠재형과 비교하여 나이가 젊을수록, 정치 성향이 진보적일수록, 종교가 없다고 응답할수록, 농어촌에 거주하지 않을수록 사회자본 단절형에 속할 확률이 높았다. 반면, 여성일수록, 학력이 높을수록, 연립과 다세대 주택에 거주하지 않을수록, 생활수준이 높을수록, 기독교를 믿을수록, 농어촌에 거주하지 않을수록 사회자본 풍족형에 속할 확률이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 분석결과를 기반으로 하여 실천적 정책적 제언을 제시하였다.

The rural elderly population has social capital based on regionalism and kinship, which acts as a positive function in terms of their self-efficacy. Self-efficacy refers to the belief in one's own abilities. In general, elderly people with high self-efficacy maintain a healthy life and age successfully. This study examines how the rural elderly population perceive their self-efficacy and social capital and analyzes the role of social capital as a mediating variable. Social capital consists of 4 aspects; trust, norms, network and participation. For this study, data were gathered from 344 rural elderly people aged 60 years and over. The results of this study were as follows. According to the analysis of the structure equation modeling effect, the direct effect of subjective health status on self-efficacy, the indirect effect of the parameters of norms and the total effect were all statistically significant. Second, the direct effect of adult children's support on self-efficacy was significant, and the indirect effects of the parameters of trust, norms and total effect were all statistically significant. This study confirmed that social capital has a mediating effect on the relationship among the subjective health status of the rural elderly, adult children's support and self-efficacy. Furthermore, social capital had a positive impact on the self-efficacy of the rural elderly. Based on these results, a policy for making use of the social capital of the rural elderly should be developed.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify factors(perceived health and social support) affecting social capital formation of the elderly. Methods: Samples consisted of 184 people aged over 65 years old in one county of Kyungsangbukdo. Data were analyzed with t-test, ANOVA and regression analysis. Results: First, social support(both emotional support and instrumental support) were significantly different by economic status. Secondly, regression analysis showed that perceived health affected a positive influence on social capital in Model1, which analyzed only perceived health. However, Model2, which analyzed perceived health and social support(emotional support, instrumental support) at the same time, showed that only instrumental support affected social capital formation. Conclusions: It was suggested to develop customized health promotion and job creation are required for social capital formation of the elderly.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the effect of social capital, health risk behavior and health status on medical care utilization by the elderly. The data and Research method Data were obtained from the 4th wave survey of the Korea Welfare Panel Study. 4,087 household members aged 65 years and over were subject to analysis. Descriptive statistics are used to describe the basic features of the data in a study. we performed a structural equation modeling(SEM) analysis to evaluate the effect of social capital and mediating effect of health risk behavior and health status. Results Results showed that factors related to medical care utilization of the elderly were different depending on types of service (inpatient and outpatient service) except health status. Age, higher social capital, more health-risk behavior and poorer health status were associated with increased use of inpatient service. Social capital was found to have a positive direct effect on it. Also, social capital had an indirect effect on reducing use of inpatient services by improving health status. On the other hand, lower age and higher household income tended to increase use of outpatient service, while higher social capital and higher health status were inversely related. Social capital had a direct effect and an indirect effect on reducing use of outpatient service and, at that time, health status played a mediating role. Conclusions Social capital may contribute to improve health status and indirectly reduce medical care utilization of the elderly by enhancing their health status. These results provide evidence that more policy and strategy considerations should be needed for the elderly to strengthen their social capital in order to enhance their levels of health and more efficient utilization of medical care.
