Purpose: The purpose of this study were to compare working condition, socioeconomic status, and health status between elderly and non-elderly workers and to examine the influencing factors of health status according to age groups. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of data extracted from the 2014 Korean Working Conditions Survey. For the present analysis, 15,980 elderly workers over the age of 55 and 32,037 non-elderly workers under the age of 55 were selected. Results: The prevalence of subjective unhealthy status and poor mental health were significantly higher among the elderly workers than the non-elderly workers. The elderly workers were more likely to have lower level of education and income than the non-elderly workers. They also reported less support from colleagues and managers, however, have more decision authority. Among the elderly workers, long working hours, awkward posture, physical environmental risks, quantitative demand, decision authority, social support, age discrimination, education level, and income level were significant predictors of subjective health status or mental health. Conclusion: For keeping elderly workers healthy and productive, work environment needs to become more age-friendly. An age-friendly workplace may include: accommodative support, workers' participation, minimization of environment risk, etc.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of fashion leaders in relation to attitude toward change and socioeconomic level among Dae Gu woman as well as among rural women living on the suburbs of Dae Gu: and to compare the characteristics of these urban women in a mass society with the rural women living in a traditional society. Measures selected for this study consisted of the Schrank Fashion Opinion Leadership Inventory(1973), the Schrank ana Sugawara Attitudes Toward Change Inventory(1977), and socioeconomic level. The fashion Innovation Inventory was developed by author which consisted of a list of clothing and accessory items selected after surveys to local stores, campus, and main streets, and study of fashion magazines for the current seasons. The data from 280 respondents were analyzed by Pearson corrleation coefficients, analysis of variance, and t-test. The results were as followers : 1) A significant relationship was found between fashion leadership and socioeconomic level for both urban and rural women. High attitude toward change was significantly related to high fashion innovativeness and high fashion opinion leadership among the urban groups. re significant relationship was found between fashion opinion leadership and attitude toward change among the rural sample. 2) A significant difference was found in attitude toward change scores of four urban sub-sample groups : fashion innovators, fashion opinion leaders, fashion innovative communicators(who exhibit high scores on both fashion innovativeness and fashion opinion leader-ship), and non-fashion innovative communicators. No significant difference was found in attitude toward change scores of four rural sub-sample groups. No significant differences were found in socioeconomic level of four sub-sample groups for both urban and rural women.

The insurance payment plan for dental implants in Korea has been criticized because the payment priority has not been properly established, and the benefits are concentrated among middle-class citizens. In the current study, the relationship between the oral health condition and socioeconomic status of the elderly was analyzed using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). This study aims to determine the reason underlying the criticism of the insurance payment plan. The subjects were >65-year-old individuals in the 2010 and 2011 database of KNHANES. Data from 2,812 subjects were analyzed. The socioeconomic status was determined based on edentulousness, molar tooth loss, and presence of 28 teeth. According to the analysis, the average income was 1,560,000 won for edentulous elderly, 1,811,000 won for elderly who had lost molar teeth, and 1,896,000 won for elderly with 28 teeth (p<0.05). In addition, elderly with a low education level demonstrated a poor oral health condition (p<0.001). In conclusion, the insurance plan currently under examination is not properly designed for economically impoverished elderly because the plan only covers 50% of the costs and is limited to implantation of molar teeth only. This plan will not provide practical benefits to elderly with a poor socioeconomic status; therefore, the insurance payment plan needs to be improved so that the appropriate beneficiaries can be targeted.

This study is to examine relationships of several socioeconomic position indicators with mortality risk in a nationwide longitudinal study of South Korea. The Korea Labor & Income Panel Study, conducted on a probability sample of urban South Korean households by Korea Labor Institute, contains date of death information for the decedents which were used to estimate relative risks of mortality and their $95\%$ confidence intervals (CI) with Cox regression analysis. A total of 125 men and women among 8,415 subjects died between 1998 and 2002. Socioeconomic differentials in mortality were observed after adjustment for sex and age. Those with less than 12-year education had 1.90 times $(95\%\;CI=1.25-2.91)$ greater mortality risk than those with 12-year education or more. Greater mortality risks were also found among those with low occupational class and manual occupation. The magnitude of differentials in mortality risks between occupational class were similar in two different approaches to measuring women's occupational class: (1) approach 1 where women, married or not, retain their own occupational class, and (2) approach 2 where married women are assigned their husbands' occupational class. Relative risks of dying among those with low household Income were 1.62 $(95\%\; CI=1.08-2.42)$ compared with the counterparts. Those who reported economic hardship at the time of survey in 1998 had greater risk of mortality $(RR=1.83,\;95\%\;CI=1.21-2.78)$ than those who did not. In conclusion, increased social discourse and policy discussions about these health inequalities are needed in Korean society. Future studies should explore the causes and mechanisms of socioeconomic mortality inequalities.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to confirm the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics and the prevalence of periodontal disease, with a focus on employment status, in a representative sample of Korean adults aged 19-39 years. Methods: Data were obtained from 3,178 adults who completed the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, health-related questionnaires, and an oral examination. Socioeconomic, demographic, and oral health-related behavior data were adopted as independent variables. The chi-square test was used to assess differences in the distribution of socioeconomic status, oral health behavior, and nutrition factors according to employment status. Logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the relationships between the prevalence of periodontitis and the related variables. Results: Significant differences in sex, educational level, income, marital status, smoking status, prevalence of periodontitis, number of dental check-ups in a year, and unmet dental care were confirmed according to employment status. The prevalence of periodontal disease was not significantly related to employment status. Conclusions: These results suggest a significant difference in periodontal disease according to socioeconomic factors in Korean adults. However, the prevalence of periodontal disease was not related to employment status. To prevent the progression of periodontal disease, attention should be paid to oral health, time available for dental treatment, smoking cessation, and use of floss.

Objectives: This study was conducted in order to determine how the association between socioeconomic position(SEP) and health status changes with age among Seoul residents aged 25 and over. Methods: We utilized the 2001 and 2005 Seoul Citizens Health Indicators Surveys. We used self-rated 'poor' health status as an outcome variable, and family income as an indicator of SEP. In order to characterize the differential effects of socioeconomic position on health by age, we conducted separate multivariate analyses by 10-year age groups, controlling for sociodemographic covariates. In order to assess the relative health inequality across socioeconomic groups, we estimated the Relative Index of Inequality (RII). Results: The risk of 'poor health' is significantly high in low family income groups, and this increased risk is seen at all ages. However, the magnitude of relative socioeconomic inequality in health, as measured by the odds ratio and RII, is not identical across age groups. The difference in health across income groups is small in early adulthood (ages 25-34), but increases with age until relatively late in life (ages 35-64). It then decreases among the elderly population (ages more than 65). When the RII reported in 2005 is compared to that reported in 2001, RII can be seen to have increased across all ages, with the exception of individuals aged 25-34. Conclusions: The magnitude of health inequality is the greatest during mid- to late adulthood (ages 45-64). In addition, health inequalities have worsened between 2001 and 2005 across all age groups after economic crisis.

실종아동문제는 한 가정의 문제로 끝나는 것이 아니라 사회문제로 발전할 수 있다는 데에 그 심각성이 있다. 하지만 실종아동문제에 대한 사회적 관심은 초보적인 수준에 머무르고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 실종아동문제에 대한 사회적 관심을 불러일으키기 위해 아동실종의 사회경제적 비용을 추계하는 것이다. 전체적으로 1명의 장기실종아동이 발생하였을 경우, 약 5억 7천만원 정도의 비용이 발생하였다. 직접비용은 약 6,532만원으로 전체의 11.5%였으며 간접비용은 약 5억원으로 전체의 88.5%였다. 이는 실종을 예방하는 것이 가장 중요하지만, 실종 이후에는 단기간 내 찾기가 매우 중요함을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구결과를 통해 실종으로 인한 사회경제적 비용이 계산되어 실종에 대한 국민의 관심을 유발할 수 있고 예방에 대한 적정 투자비용에 관하여 자료를 추산할 수 있으며, 결과적으로 실종 예방에 대한 적극적인 국가적 투자를 유인할 수 있을 것이다.

이 연구의 목적은 고용형태별 소득계층과 사회경제적 계층인식에 따른 건강상태 영향 요인을 알아보고자 하는데 있다. 한국노동연구원에서 실시한 한국노동패널 자료 중 18차 자료를 활용하여 만 20세 이상의 성인 5,158명을 최종 분석대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 정규직과 비정규직 모두 소득계층과 사회경제적 계층인식 간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었으며, '중하'만이 계층 간 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 우리사회의 정규직과 비정규직에 상관없이 실제 소득계층에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 인식하고 있기 때문으로 분석된다. 회귀분석결과 정규직은 사회경제적 계층인식이 낮을수록, 비정규직은 소득계층이 낮을수록, 사회경제적 계층인식이 낮을수록, 특히 비정규직의 경우 연금이 가입되지 않은 경우 건강상태가 나쁜 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 비정규직 근로자들의 연금보험 납부금액의 적정성은 물론 소득이 상실되는 시점에 현실을 반영한 적절한 연금액이 지급 될 수 있도록 하여야 한다. 또한 다양한 교육과 홍보를 위한 정부, 경영계, 노동계간의 협력 등 다양한 방법을 모색하여야 한다.

이 연구의 목적은 통계청에서 실시한 2011년도 사교육비 조사의 자료를 이용하여 학생의 학업성취도, 가정의 사회경제적 지위, 보완 사교육비, 일반 사교육비 사이의 효과를 구조방정식 모형을 이용하여 분석하고, 이러한 구조적 효과가 성, 지역, 학교급 집단 별로 유의한 차이가 있는지 다중집단 구조방정식을 활용하여 확인하는 것이다. 연구 모형의 분석 결과를 바탕으로, 사회경제적 지위가 높을수록 사교육에 대한 지출이 커지는 경향이 있지만 학업성취도에는 영향을 미치지 않는다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 성, 지역, 학교 집단 모두 학생의 학업성취도, 부모의 사회경제적 지위, 사교육비의 집단 간 구조적 효과의 차이가 있다는 결론을 얻을 수 있다. 이 연구를 통해 우리나라 교육 현상 중에서 학업에 대한 열의가 사교육으로 많이 집중되어 나타나는 사교육 문제에 있어 학생의 학업성취도, 부모의 사회경제적 지위와 사교육비가 연관되어 있을 것이라는 사회적 통념을 2011년 사교육비 조사자료를 이용하여 판단할 수 있을 것이라고 기대한다.
