본 연구는 빈곤노인의 노화경험의 의미를 발견해내고 이를 바탕으로 빈곤노인을 위한 복지정책을 제시하고자 하였다. 이러한 목적을 위해 빈곤노인을 기준표집방법으로 총 16명 선정하여 심층면접을 진행하였고 Colaizzi(1978)의 현상학적 연구방법을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 빈곤노인의 노화경험의 의미는 27개 주제, 10개 주제묶음과 4개의 범주로 나타났다. 4개의 범주는 '죽음으로 향해 가기', '초라해지는 마음', '험한 인생살이', '삶의 끈을 지켜나가기'이었다. 이러한 의미를 통합해볼 때 빈곤노인의 노화경험의 본질은 '정부로부터 생계비를 받을지언정 제 힘으로 살아가기'로 발견되었다. 빈곤노인의 노화경험은 의존적이라기보다는 독립적이고 긍정적인 삶의 의미를 강하게 드러냈고, 생계비가 최소한의 생존비용임을 보여주었고, 심한 죽음불안을 나타냈으며, 가(家) 중심의 유교문화적 맥락을 통해 이해될 수 있었다. 이에 빈곤노인복지정책은 이들의 독립적이고 긍정적인 생활지원을 위한 사회활동의 촉진, 최저생계비의 현실화, 심리정서적 서비스의 강화, 죽음준비교육의 실시, 빈곤노인복지정책의 매뉴얼 구축 등으로 제시되었다.

The purpose of this document is to provide the direction of the policy for welfare of the elderly, by identifying the problems and status of the welfare service for the elderly. The primary source of degrading the living standard of the elderly is the increase of the elderly population and life longevity. The Welfare service for the elderly to enhance the poor living level of the elderly population should be established, to compensate their former economic and social contribution in the society and also to promote the basic human right. The agenda to achieve this goal sums up like these : First, the basic living of the unhealthy elderly belonging to the low-income group, such as government-provided income and medical service should be provided. Second, for those with working ability, more opportunity for working and social activities should be given, focusing on expanding the employment rather than adding income. Third, for those with middle and high income, silver industry and pastime activities should be nurtured. Lastly, rather than institutional protection for the elderly, the welfare service for those staying home should be enforced, thus naturally leading to the family support for the elderly. There cannot be a sound policy for welfare and improvement of living standard ignoring the Well-being of the elderly population. The effort to better the welfare for the minority groups who compose the base of the social base will, eventually, result in the progress of the entire society.

노인복지관은 노인들의 다양한 복지 욕구에 따른 서비스를 제공하여 지역사회 노인복지 증진에 기여하고 있다. 고령화 및 베이비부머의 고령층 진입으로 인해 노인들은 동일한 욕구를 가진 단일한 집단이 아닌 다양성을 가진 집단으로 인식되고 있다. 따라서 수요자 관점에서 노인들이 복지관을 이용하는 요인을 파악하려는 노력이 필요하다. 도시지역 노인의 복지관 이용 요인을 확인한 결과, 성별, 나이, 학력, 직업, 경제상태, 사회계층, 친구 수, 사회활동 참여 수, 질환 수, 우울감이 유의미한 것으로 확인되었다. 즉, 남성보다 여성이, 나이가 많을수록, 고학력자가, 직업이 없는 노인이, 경제상태가 나쁜 노인이, 낮은 사회계층에 속하는 노인이, 친구가 많을수록, 참여하는 사회활동이 많을수록, 질환이 많을수록, 우울감이 높을수록 복지관을 이용할 확률이 높아졌다. 학력수준이 높은, 친구가 많은, 사회참여에 적극적인 노인들과 나이가 많은, 경제적으로 어려운, 건강상태가 나쁜 노인 등 이질적인 노인집단이 복지관을 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 노인복지서비스의 질적 제고를 위한 정책적·실천적 제언을 하였다.

At this point in time South Korea is rapidly metastasizing to a aging society. A major cause of aging can be summarized as increased life expectancy, decrease of nuclear family and birthrate, and South Korea's progress is faster than any other country. From the 1970s, western society has changed social welfare to deinstitutionalization and community care because of problems about economic reason and facilities protection, so the type of elderly social service has also changed from the facility welfare service which is accommodated old people in certain facility to community welfare service which provides various welfare services with living together. Public facilities for low income group which are supported by government are lower, 6.6%, than the United States or Japan, 50%. They are divided into private manage facilities and subscription elderly facilities. These subscription elderly residential facilities show poor administration because of focusing on development and market analysis for investment returns. Therefore, in order to vitalize the elderly welfare residential facilities in Korea, we need plans about systematic services facilities for welfare and phased medical treatments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is that (1) the types and functions of residents for community elderly residential facilities in elderly welfare policies of U.S., and supported policies are researched as a transcendental model, (2) data about operating system with the principles of the market is analyzed, and (3) basic data about welfare facility plan for community residential elderly people is provided.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors determining the participation of the poor elderly in economic activity. This study analyzed secondary data of the second wave of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Binary logistic regression was used to identify the factors that are associated with the economic activity of the poor elderly. The results of the analyses showed that age, gender, region, public assistance, education, health status, chronic illness, contacts with acquaintances, and support from children were associated with participation in economic activity. The study's findings have several implications for policies and services. The study identified the need for an age- and gender-specific approach to promoting participation in economic activity among the poor elderly. Regional differences should also be considered in the creation of work opportunities for older adults. In terms of human capital, the positive effect of good health indicates that strategies are needed to address the needs of older adults with health issues. In addition, there is a need for more jobs for elderly job seekers with high levels of education. Finally, policy makers and practitioners should explore interventions for enhancing the social network involvement and community support for the elderly living in poverty.

본 연구에서는 노인으로만 구성된 가구를 대상으로 선행 연구에서 다루지 않은 설명변수를 투입하고, 패널분석(panel data model)을 활용하여 노인의 특성별로 이들의 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대해 살펴보았다. 분석 결과 노인 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 연령, 학력, 혼인상태, 자산, 거주지역 등과 함께 과거의 직업력이 중요한 요인임이 확인되었으며, 노인 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 요인들은 노인의 특성별로 다른 결과를 가져왔다. 이러한 분석 결과는 노후의 상황만을 고려한 노인의 탈빈곤정책은 사후적이라는 문제를 제기한다. 따라서 잠재적으로 노인 빈곤층이 될 수 있는 현재의 근로빈곤층에 대한 정책의 중요성과, 현재 보험방식으로 이루어지고 있는 공적연금제도의 전환을 위한 노력을 시사한다.

Over the past few decades, the proportion of elderly people in Korea has been rapidly increasing. In particular, rural areas are experiencing aging of communities more rapidly compared to urban areas. However, public policy for the elderly does not respond to the needs of rural elderly. To distribute health care resources equitably, it is necessary to gather reliable information on the health status of the elderly. The purpose of this study is to explore factors affecting Korean elderly people's ADL functional status. The data sources are from 2004 Elderly Living Condition Survey. The Analysis sample consists of 3,278 cases. Analysis results show that there is a significant residential variability in education, monthly stipend, living arrangement, subjective health status, regular food in-take, and regular exercise. Logistic regression analysis results also show that 'cognitive ability'(exp(B)=6.603), 'subjective health status'(exp(B)=4.576), 'age'(exp(B)=2.610), and 'living arrangement'(exp(B)=.589) are factors affecting ADLs. Namely, when a respondent's cognitive ability is limited, subjective health status is poor, or if their age is over 75, the probability of having a limited ADL has been 6.6 times, 4.6 times, and 2.6 times higher than otherwise. Among these variables, cognitive ability was the best explanation. In contrast, respondents who live with a spouse or adult children have a lower probability of having limited ADL compared with those who live alone. Considering that the most critical criteria in determining eligibility for social welfare services is ADLs, the development of appropriate ADL assessment tools is in an urgent need. Without the accurate assessment on ADLs, particularly on rural as well as the urban elderly, it seems to be hard to achieve effectiveness in the health care policy for the elderly.

The elderly people was over 8.3% in 2003. This seament is projected to grow to 14.4% by 2019(Aged society) and over 20% by 2026(Super aged society). As the elderly population is increasing and young population is declined social issues around elderly care are emerged in Korea. As a result of that, they are in the condition of poor system of the welfare of the old and it is the worst one in Korea. And because of the worst financial independence and difficulty in Korea, welfare facilities and medical instruments are so insufficient and deteriorated, so the quality of service is getting low. Furthermore the mortality of cancer is rapidely increased in recent years. So it is expected that the number of families who are caring for terminal cancer patient will be increased. We can not solve those problems only with government's policy such as to secure ample budget and to enlarge the aged welfare institutions. Definitely, to acheve the suggetions persistence concern about old people is most important, and family, community and national government should be linked to accomplish to goal. Accordingly, for this study attempts to provide conceptual framework of the respite care, spiritual care and home hospice, nursing home for the elderly. And this study is to discuss the necessity and effect about the construction of housing welfare infrastructure and to make a cooperation and linkage system among the aged welfare institutions, government and the aged welfare programs. As is well known, the issue of the increasing aged people is neither a matter of individuals nor of the family, but rather a complex matter of whol society. Therefore it can be resolved by the active participation of government. Conclusively this study tries to provide an direction of the improvement with regard to the welfare policy for the elderly. The study is as follwos: Chapters 1: The theological base, conception, essentiality, respite care, spiritual care and home hospice, nursing home for the elderly. Chapters 2: Definitions of respite care, spiritual care, hospice, patient of termina cancer and quality of life. And relations between respite care and nursing home.

To sum up, the problems of the aged people has not effects only to the aged people. This means that the problems of aged is the problems of the young generation today. Because young generation will be the old generation in the near future.

공적 연금이 미성숙한 우리나라에서는 실질적으로 공공부조가 빈곤노인을 위한 소득보장제도로 기능하고 있다. 그러나 제도상의 문제로 인하여 많은 수의 빈곤노인들이 국민기초생활보장 제도와 경로연금 제도에서 제외됨으로써 소득보장의 사각지대에 방치되어 있다. 이 연구에서는 공공부조에서 제외된 빈곤노인의 규모와 현황을 파악하고 공공부조 수급의 결정요인을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 차상위계층과 절대빈곤층이 모두 포함된 빈곤노인가구 중 절반 이상이 공공부조 수급을 받지 못하고 있으며, 공공부조에서 제외된 빈곤노인가구는 인구학적 특성과 소득특성이 열악하여 공공부조 수급의 욕구가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 노인의 공공부조 수급은 주로 인구학적 특성과, 가족부양상황을 반영하는 가족이전소득에 의해 결정되는 것으로 밝혀져, 빈곤노인들의 소득상의 욕구를 고려한 소득보장이 시급한 것으로 분석되었다.
