The purpose of this study is to identify U.S. Baby Boomers' intention to move and their reasons for moving after retirement, and to examine the associations between their socio-demographic characteristics and housing characteristics, and their reasons for moving after retirement factors. A total of 403 usable data were collected through an online survey using a self-administrated questionnaire. For data analyses, descriptive statistics, factor analysis, t-test, and ANOVA were used. Almost 30% of the total respondents considered moving and 15% were strongly agreed to move after their retirement. The most frequently mentioned reasons for moving after retirement were 'a place with good weather', 'being close to leisure activities', and 'a change or decline of my current neighborhood'. Four factors of reasons for moving after retirement (quality of residential environment, need assistant, proximity to activities, and proximity to family/friends) were identified. Age, marital status, number of household, housing type, homeownership, length of residence, and number of bedroom were significantly associated with the four factors of reasons for moving. The results of this study provide a better understanding to U.S. Baby Boomers' housing behavior after retirement which is 10 years faster than Korea, and suggest insights of housing plan for Korean older adults.

본 연구는 은퇴가 중 고령자의 운동과 흡연, 음주행동에 미치는 영향을 검증하고, 은퇴사유에 따라 은퇴가 건강행동에 미치는 영향에 차이가 있는지에 대하여 살펴보았다. 구체적으로 본 연구는 고령화연구패널 조사 1~5차년도(2006~2014) 자료를 활용하여, 패널 고정효과 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 인구사회학적 특성 및 주관적 건강이 통제된 상태에서도 은퇴는 규칙적 운동수행에 정적인 영향을, 흡연과 음주행동에는 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 중 고령자가 은퇴할 경우에 비은퇴자에 비하여 규칙적으로 운동할 가능성이 약간 더 증가하였으며, 흡연할 가능성과 음주를 할 가능성은 모두 감소하였다. 중 고령자가 어떠한 사유로 은퇴하더라도 비은퇴자에 비하여 규칙적으로 운동할 가능성이 높았으나, 흡연 및 음주에 관해서는 은퇴사유에 따라 은퇴의 효과에 차이가 있었다. 즉, 건강상의 이유로 은퇴하거나 정년퇴직한 경우에만 흡연할 가능성이 유의하게 감소하였고, 실직하였거나 여가를 즐기기 위해 은퇴한 경우에는 비은퇴자와 비교하여 흡연여부에 차이가 없었다. 또한 건강상의 이유로 은퇴한 경우에만 음주를 할 가능성이 낮아졌고, 그 외의 사유로 은퇴할 경우에는 비은퇴자에 비하여 음주 여부에 차이가 없었다. 본 연구는 은퇴가 중 고령자의 건강행동에 전반적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 흡연이나 음주보다도 규칙적 운동의 수행에 가장 긍정적으로 작용함을 밝혔다. 또한 본 연구는 건강상의 이유로 인해 은퇴한 중 고령자는 은퇴를 본인의 건강행동을 개선하는 기회로 적극적으로 활용하는 반면, 실직하였거나 가족원을 돌보기 위하여, 혹은 여가를 즐기기 위해 은퇴한 경우에는 은퇴가 건강행동에 갖는 긍정적 효과가 제한적임을 시사한다.

본 연구는 남편과 아내의 은퇴가 상호의존적임을 파악한 연구로, 대다수가 비자발적으로 은퇴하는 경향을 고려하여 배우자의 자발적 은퇴와 비자발적 은퇴가 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 한국고령화연구패널 4차년도 응답자 중 노동경험이 있는 75세 이하의 부부 1,038쌍(2,076명)을 대상으로 프로빗분석과 다변량프로빗분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과, 아내의 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴 결정에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났다. 배우자의 비자발적 은퇴 역시 유의미한 영향요인으로 나타났는데, 60세 미만 집단에서 남편의 비자발적인 은퇴는 아내의 은퇴에 정적 영향을 미치나, 아내의 비자발적인 은퇴는 남편의 은퇴에 부적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아내의 노동시장 지위가 남편에 종속되는 비율이 높고, 아내가 남편에 비하여 배우자의 건강문제로 은퇴하는 비율이 더 높은 기술통계와 맥을 같이 한다. 본 연구는 기존연구에서 다뤄지지 않은 부부의 상호의존적 영향을 확인하여, 향후 은퇴 연구와 고령자 노동정책에 시사점을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: Many people recognize the fact that women are basically poor at financial and retirement planning. A small number of scholars have explored the factors and situations that influence the level of awareness of pre-retirement women and men with regards to planning for their retirement years. In most developing countries, including Malaysia, there are more men in the younger segment of the population and more women in the older segment, since women tend to live longer than men due to having jobs of relatively lower risk, their behaviors, and activities. Research design, data and methodology: Given that it is hard to predict whether they will be healthy in old age, women may require additional resources to obtain the care and assistance that they need. The transition from career life into retirement is a long process for people to go through. Some may be able to prepare for the next stage of life, and some may not be able to prepare due to personal reasons. Planning for future retirement is important because it will affect the quality of a woman's life after a certain age. Results: Without proper planning, women may face financial instability, depression, and poor psychological well-being. However, many women are unaware of their financial status or do not know their family's financial status, such as tracking the main income, budget, and expenses, financial commitments and have no proper record of assets owned, loans owed, or updated loan balances. Conclusions: The findings of this research have led to the conclusion that pre-retiree women are likely to regard their retirement savings as sufficient without realizing that they should have at least several types of savings instead of just one, and the grave consequences of not having any savings at all for their retirement years.

Second, the difference of satisfaction with the rural lift which was taken place by the reasons before they moved to the farm is effected considerably by what made them decide to return to the farm first whether they prepared for it or not and how much money they have to do so. Therefore, to succeed in adjustment to the rural lives, their decision should be made by positive causes, they have to prepare concretely for it before they carry out their plans and they had better have enough money to move. Third, the difference of satisfaction with the rural life occurred by the reasons after they moved to the farm is effected by 'satisfaction with the forming information', 'the number of friends or neighbors', 'the frequency of meeting the friendly', 'the level of intimacy with neighbors' and 'their efforts to improve the relations with other residents'. And the sensitiveness to perceive the inconvenience according to the rural life is related strongly to the satisfaction with the rural life in the above 6 areas.

The purpose of this study is to provide basis data to understand the urban housewives' assets management behavior. The result can be summarized as follows: 1. The more urban housewives were educated, the more they were satisfied with methods of assets management. So it turned out that the educational improvement of husbands and wives brought forth the satisfaction of their lives. From this result, we can conclude that more improved education is essential to us. 2. Specifically, age is an important factor of the reasons of assets management. Among housewives below 40 years old. the preparation for purchasing durable goods and more leisure was the main reason for assets management. Among housewives from 40 to 50, the preparation for expenditures of education and marriage of their children was the main reason. Among housewives above 50, the preparation for their retirement was the main reason. As results, we can notice that they don't make a long-range plan positively but they usually prepare expenditures for their seasonable needs. So we have to emphasize on educating them to make a long-range plan.

This study explores the effects of rural migrant characteristics and conjugal communication on life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants. A total of 205 Korean baby boomers, who are living in rural areas in the year of 2013 that had migrated from cities back in 2003 with their families, were analyzed. Their age ranged from 49 to 57 years. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, t-test, and hierarchical regression analysis, with SPSS Win 20.0 program. The results of this study are summarized as follows: the reasons these baby boomers chose a rural lifestyle were 'for life after retirement,' 'because rural life is good,' 'for health reasons,' and 'for chosen profession.' The level of conjugal communication (M=3.69) and life satisfaction (M=3.23) were higher than average (M=3.0). The variables influencing life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants were 'increased property size,' 'better conjugal communication,' 'better health condition,' 'lower levels of money,' and 'length of time spent farming.' Furthermore, in terms of life satisfaction, the relative contributions of these variables are as follows: general characteristics 20%, rural migrant characteristics 10%, and the level of conjugal communication 6%. These results show that conjugal communication is a very important variable, as well as a rural migrant characteristic when it comes to life satisfaction of these baby boomers. Therefore, to improve life satisfaction of baby boomer rural migrants, support programs need to focus on both farming and conjugal relationships.

Social media is becoming more and more important in social movements. This study, adopting the web mining approach, attempts to investigate how social media, Facebook in particular, functioned in the "May 25 Protest" and the "May 27 Protest", two movements which broke out in Macao on 25 and 27 May 2014, respectively, against the Retirement Package Bill. In the two protests, Macao residents deployed Facebook to share information and motivated people's participation. Twelve events (181,106 people invited) and 36 groups/pages (41,266 members) related on Facebook were examined. Results showed that the information flow on Facebook fluctuated in accordance with the event development in reality. Multiple patterns of manifestation, such as video of adopted news or songs, designed profile (protest icon), original ironic pictures, self-organized clubs by undergraduates and white T-shirts as a symbol, among others, appeared online and interacted with offline actions. It was also found that social media assisted the information diffusion and provided persuasive reasons for netizens to join the movement. Social media helped to expand movement influence in providing a platform for diversified performances for actions taken in a protest, which could express and develop core and consistent movement repertoire.
