The life expectancy of Korean populations has been increasing up to 79.6 years old as of 2008, while the period of retirement has accelerated especially since the economic crisis of IMF. Although the elderly have been traditionally regarded as recipients of social welfare services, their roles have been changed more positive. They are expected to actively participate in the community welfare practices as care-givers since they are regarded as excellent human resources for community welfare. In this regard, senior volunteering has been spotlighted as one of the most productive ways of social participation for the elderly. This study aims to examine the present conditions of senior volunteering programs in Korea with a special attention to their legal bases, administrative support systems, management issues, and further seeks for measures to revitalize the programs. To achieve these purposes, the study first explores the characteristics and needs of the elderly and draws attention to the senior volunteering as a way to meet their needs. Secondly, the study reviews the legal foundations as well as administrative systems relevant to senior volunteering programs. Thirdly, it examines the previous studies on senior volunteering programs, focusing on their management issues, and further capturesfactors to obstruct their development. Fourthly, the study provides measures to revitalize senior volunteering programs to maximize development of community welfare resources. Lastly, it provides a summary and a conclusion.

1인 가구 노인빈곤의 정책지렛대 탐색을 위한 다이내믹 시뮬레이션 연구

조성숙 ( Cho Sungsook ) 한국시스템다이내믹스학회 2021 한국시스템다이내믹스 연구 Vol.22 No.2

This study aims to identify the behavior pattern of elderly poverty of the singleperson households, to analyze its causal loop feedback structure, and further to investigate as well as predict its policy leverage through dynamic simulation modeling. The main findings are as follows. Firstly, the elderly poverty rate of the singleperson households increased over time, showing a non-linear and dynamic behavior pattern. Secondly, there were four main feedback loops found centering around the retirement preparation of the middle-aged. It seemed that three positive feedback loops related to the basic income security for the elderly could increase its elderly poverty rate, whereas one negative feedback loop concerning the retirement preparation of the middle-aged might lessen its poverty rate. Finally, the results of dynamic simulation modeling showed that the policies such as Public pension, Semi-public pension, Basic pension, individual pension, and job creation, if partially improved and properly combined, could be used as very useful measures to alleviate the elderly poverty of the single-person households.
