본 연구는 2010년부터 2050년까지의 남북한의 60세 이상의 노인인구 및 80세이상의 고령인구 규모를 추계하였다. 장래 노인인구 추계에 따르면 2050년경 남북한은 세계에서 가장 노령인구비율이 높은 국가 가운데 하나가 될 것으로 예상된다. 지금까지 역사적으로 노인인구의 비율이 많았던 적이 없었던 남북한은 앞으로 노인인구의 급속한 증가를 경험하게 될 것이며 이러한 현상은 1970년대 이후 경험한 출산율의 감소에 기인된다고 하겠다. 또한 장래 남북한의 생산활동인구에 대한 부양비는 상당히 높아 질 것이며 2050년까지 계속 증가할 것으로 전망된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 노인인구의 증가에 따른 노인건강 및 노인부양과 관련되는 사회적ㆍ경제적 제 문제들에 대하여 논의 하였다. This paper examines the size of the current (1999) and projected (2010 through 2050) populations of the old (ages 60+) and oldest old (ages 80+) of South Korea and North Korea. By mid-way through the next century, we show that Ssouth Korea will have one of the oldest populations of any country in the world, and North Korea's population will not be much younger. We note that South Korea and North Korea have not been characterized in the past by large numbers of old people. We thus consider Korea's demographic past prior to the onset of colonial administration, and then the demographic transitions of the two countries. We note that the major factor responsible for South Korea's and North Korea's very large current and projected numbers of elderly are their dramatic fertility transitions experienced since the 1970s. We then consider the very heavy dependency burdens on the producing populations of South Korea and North Korea, and show that these burdens will get even heavier in the decades ahead. The paper is concluded with a discussion of some of the social and economic implications of these large numbers of elderly populations.
Cancer Perceptions Among Smokeless Tobacco Users: A Qualitative Study of US Firefighters

Background: Prevalence rates of smokeless tobacco (SLT) use among firefighters are remarkably high and substantially higher than similar occupational groups and the general U.S. population. The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of fire service personnel regarding cancer and its associations with tobacco and SLT use. Methods: This descriptive study used a qualitative approach. Key informant interviews were conducted in 39 career firefighters and fire service administration from across the U.S. Discussion were recorded, transcribed verbatim and transferred to NVivo software for narrative analysis. Topics explored included cancer perceptions, attitudes and beliefs, and cultural factors related to SLT use behaviors. Results: Major themes that emerged among fire service personnel included concerns about cancer and its risk factors including firefighting tasks, such as fire overhaul operations, and from their lifestyle behaviors, such as alcohol and tobacco use. Firefighters also suggested a number of reasons for their increased SLT use, such as fire department tobacco-free policy and fire service culture. Conclusion: The current study provides a rich foundation for future research, prevention, and intervention efforts for the fire service and research communities regarding tobacco and SLT use and cancer risk. Additional research on firefighters' cancer beliefs deserves future research in order to improve messaging about the risks of cancer due to firefighting.
