은퇴 후 사회적 지위와 가족 내 역할에 변화를 겪는 남성노인은 차별경험으로 인해 부정적 노인인식과 노년기 태도를 갖게 될 가능성이 높다. 본 연구는 남성노인의 차별경험이 노인인식과 노년기 태도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 가족기능과 동년배관계의 매개효과를 검증하여 사회복지적 개입방안을 찾고자 한다. 조사대상은 서울지역 노인종합복지관을 이용하는 남성노인 215명이며, 매개효과 검증을 위해 구조방정식 모형을 이용한 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 남성노인의 차별경험은 노인인식에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 남성노인의 차별경험이 노년기 태도에 미치는 영향은 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 남성노인의 차별경험이 노인인식에 미치는 영향에 있어서 가족기능과 동년배관계가 완전매개효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 남성노인의 차별경험이 노년기 태도에 미치는 영향에 있어서 가족기능과 동년배관계는 부분매개효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 근본적으로 노인차별을 줄이기 위한 노력이 필요하다는 것과 가족기능과 동년배관계의 강화는 긍정적인 노인인식과 노년기 태도를 갖게 함을 보여주는 것이다. 따라서 노인차별을 줄이기 위한 제도적 접근, 가족기능 강화를 위한 가족상담 프로그램 및 대안가족 제시, 동년배관계 강화를 위한 지역사회 중심의 노인활동 지원이 필요함을 제언하였다.

Taking into account the retirement age in Korea, those households with people over 60 years old were chosen for the investigation. For the study methods, an examination of documents centering on previous related studies and the analysis of references from the National Statistical Office, from which a general social situation can be clearly obtained, are used. The results are as follows; From viewpoint of the stage of elderly, Parents and children of families mostly live together stage 1 and 2, mostly live separately at stage 3, the rate of living together increases stage 4 and 5. In over stage 4, there are some cases in which the Korean tradition of three generations living under one roof appears as well. The residing period at one place becomes longer as people grow older, which shows clearly the characteristic of 'ageing in place', therefore in order to continue to provide housing support to the elderly, the characteristics of each elderly stage will have to be considered. In the life of the elderly, more and more hobby groups and meetings among the older population have been created, which means that elderly centered social activities will become more various, and facilities and community activated methods will have to be provided accordingly. Elderly people become less adaptable in new housing environments as they get older, therefore the housing has to accommodate their capability to adapt and the degree of aging. The stage of elderly can be used as a basic reference for a more effective solution when planning elderly housing in the future.

본 연구는 노인과 지역사회 수요처가 노인일자리 사업 참여 및 이용 과정에서 어떠한 경험을 하며, 노인과 지역사회의 관계가 어떻게 변화하는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 C시의 4개 노인일자리 사업 참여 노인과 수요처를 대상으로 포커스 집단면접과 개별면접을 하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 노인은 일자리사업에서 소득 확보 이상으로 건강한 생활방식으로의 전환을 의미있게 보았다. 둘째, 노인은 헌신적 노력을 통해 건강과 자신감, 수입, 가족의 인정뿐만 아니라 지역사회에 대한 유대감과 기여의 보람을 얻었다. 셋째, 노인은 일자리 사업을 혜택인 동시에 기여인 '유급봉사'로 규정하였다. 넷째, 수요처는 초기에는 노인의 능력에 대한 의구심이 있었으나 기대이상의 품질에 만족하였고, 노인을 활동적이고 유능한 존재로 인식하게 되었다. 결론적으로 노인일자리 사업은 노인 개인뿐만 아니라 지역사회 복지에도 기여하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 연구 결과는 일자리사업에서 노인의 능력과 기여의지를 적극적으로 활용하기 위하여 체계적이고 지속적인 지원이 필요하다는 것을 보여준다.
