Background: Although the orofacial-function improvement exercise (OFIE; oral exercise) was first introduced in Korea 10 years prior, it is still not covered by medical insurance, and no detailed survey on the dissemination of related programs has been conducted. Therefore, this study investigated the actual status of the education and practice of OFIE among the elderly and at elderly welfare institutions in the Seoul and Gyeonggi Provinces. Methods: Senior citizens aged more than 65 years old, public health centers (total of 69) and elderly welfare institutions (including nursing homes and elderly welfare centers, total of 56) per administrative area in the Seoul and Gyeonggi Provinces were targeted. We analyzed 200 elderly people and 93 institutions who agreed to participate in the survey. For the elderly, general characteristics, experience and route, current practice, and necessity regarding OFIE were investigated. For institutions, the history and plan of education programs on OFIE were investigated. Results: Regardless of the general characteristics, both the rate of experience and practice for OFIE were low overall; moreover, although they felt it was necessary, they had insufficient motivation for its implementation. Moreover, only a few institutions which were operating the education about OFIE regardless of the COVID-19 situation. Conclusion: Although OFIE is necessary for the elderly, its distribution remains insufficient. Therefore, further efforts are needed to expand the education and raise the awareness of oral exercise among elderly individuals and senior welfare institutions.

본 연구는 만19세 이상 34세 이하 청년의 현황을 살펴보고 청년의 빈곤 및 고용실태에 미치는 요인을 2012~2016년도 가계금융 복지조사를 이용하여 분석한다. 분석 결과 학생이거나 무직인 청년의 비율은 증가 추세를 보였고, 청년 집단의 경제적 상황은 혼인상태, 학력, 종사상지위, 대출 등에 따라 상이하였으며, 소득보장정책의 청년층 빈곤율 감소효과는 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 청년의 고용실태를 살펴보기 위해 종사상지위 및 저임금고용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 종사상지위에 대한 다항로짓분석 결과, 연령이나 교육연수가 높을수록 상용직 대비 임시 일용직에 종사할 확률이 낮아졌으나 이에 대한 여성과 남성 간의 차이는 확인되지 않았다. 청년 및 비청년 연령그룹을 대상으로 저임금고용 결정요인을 로짓분석한 결과, 여성일수록, 교육연수가 낮을수록, 가구주의 배우자나 자녀일수록, 임시 일용직 종사자일수록 저임금고용에 종사할 확률이 높았다. 특히 여성의 경우 연령층이 증가함에 따라 저임금고용에 처할 위험도 증가하고 있어 저임금고용의 고착화현상이 관찰되었다. 모든 연령집단에서 임시 일용직 종사자는 상용직에 비해 저임금고용에 처할 위험이 높았지만, 이는 젊은 연령층에서 더욱 크게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 청년의 빈곤과 불안정고용의 문제를 포괄적으로 해결하기 위해서는 청년의 개인적 특성과 청년의 생애주기를 고려한 고용 및 사회보장정책을 기초로 양질의 일자리 공급이 지속적이고 안정적으로 이뤄져야 함을 제안하였다.

Objectives: This study examined how deprivation differed by region and the effect those differences had on suicidal ideation among the local population. Methods: Data collected over 10 years (2012-2021) in the Korea Welfare Panel Study were organized into 3 categories: metropolitan, city, and rural. A panel analysis was conducted on the impact of deprivation indices, socio-demographic characteristics, and life satisfaction on suicidal ideation in each category. Results: Income, divorce status, family relationship satisfaction, and medical deprivation had a significant impact on suicidal ideation in metropolitan areas, whereas these variables did not have significant effects in rural areas. In other words, income, family, and medical support were more impactful in city areas. Conclusions: Although the deprivation index was higher in rural areas than in city areas due to an aging population and reduced income levels, the mental health of rural residents was found to be generally better than that of city residents. The possibility that this is related to the strength of relationships within the respective communities should be considered in light of recent discussions on relational welfare.

본 연구는 생애주기관점의 불평등 가설에 따라, OECD 10개국 노인의 소득불평등을 연구하였다. 불평등 요인 가운데 개인의 초기 사회적 지위는 교육수준, 사회구조·제도는 복지체제에 주목하여, 생애주기상 비노년기에서 노년기로 이행한 사람들의 소득불평등을 분석하였다. 자료는 유럽의 SHARE와 미국의 HRS 패널자료이다. 분석결과 첫째, 지체제와 교육수준이 주된 불평등 요인으로 나타났다. 둘째, 소득불평등은 비노년기 시점에서 노년기 시점으로 이행하면 다소 감소하지만, 여전히 상당히 높다(지니계수 .475). 복지체제별로 보면 보수주의 체제는 비노년기에도 소득불평등이 높은데, 노년기가 되면 더 높아져 누적 이익/불리 가설의 경향을 띤다. 자유주의 체제는 소득불평등이 높은 상태로 지속되어 지위유지 가설과 유사하다. 사민주의 체제는 비노년기에도 소득불평등이 낮은데, 노년기가 되면 더 낮아져 지위평등화 가설을 지지한다. 셋째, 비노년기에서 노년기로 이행하면 교육수준에 따른 누적된 이익/불리가 강화되어 총소득의 이질성이 커진다. 그러나 공적연금은 총소득보다 평등하게 분배되어 있다. 넷째, 복지체제별로 보면 자유주의 체제, 보수주의 체제의 공적연금은 비노년기보다 노년기에 더 불평등하게 분배되었다. 특히 보수주의 체제는 노년기의 소득불평등이 매우 높은데, 공적연금도 총소득만큼이나 불평등하게 분배되어 있다. 사회보장제도가 누적된 이익/불리를 강화하는 것으로 보인다. 반면 사민주의 체제는 공적연금이 총소득보다 평등하게 분배되고, 노년기가 되면 더 평등하게 분배되어 지위평등화 가설을 지지한다.

It has been 5 years since evaluation systems were introduced to the social welfare field in Korea. More than half of social welfare agencies (617 out of 1,267) were evaluated in the past two years. Most areas of the agencies were the target of an extensive evaluation in 2000. As "the Evaluation Era" has come, problems were raised especially regarding the Accreditation system of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. More specifically, the problems were related to operation and management of the evaluation systems including the issue of evaluators' objectivity and fairness. In addition, evaluation costs have been too high to the government. The evaluation systems of OECD nations including the United States were quite different. These nations have used the Performance Measurement in order to secure the objectivity and the fairness. Although the quantity of information was limited compared to that of the Accreditation system, these nations have taken the lead in the governmental evaluation. In this context, this study compared social welfare evaluation systems between Korea and the United States. It presented the current status and problems of the Accreditation system of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, discussed the American Performance Measurement and its limitations, and compared the strengths and weaknesses of the two evaluation systems. In addition, this study suggested the strategies of Korean evaluation systems in the long term as well as in the short term.
