(Abstract)
The purpose of this study was to draw out the harmful elements against senior employment and to promote senior employment by finding out a proposal to activate senior employment. Domestic senior population older than 65 was 7.2% in 2005 entering the aging society. It is expected to be 14.3% in 2018 entering the aged society and 20.8% in 2026 becoming the ultra-aged society. The rapidly developing aging is about to deprive the seniors of the opportunity of labor and social participation and discloses various senior problems.
Korean employment policy is quite poor compared to that of major advanced countries and not so much helpful to seniors economically. Therefore, this study tries to present a proposal to activate general problems, the elements of senior employment like senior employment policy, senior employment program and customer demand.
First, in the aspects of policy, the promotion of senior employment policy should be unified, the aged standard employment rate should be adjusted upward to higher than 10%, the policy should be expanded to enterprises with more than 100 employees, the retirement age should be readjusted to 60 at 1st stage, 65 at 2nd stage and abolished at 3rd stage and the incentive support for senior employment promotion should be expanded. In addition, vocational training connection system should be developed, the occupational category and training institutes should be specialized, the promising job for seniors should be developed to guarantee senior first employment and senior welfare budget should be expanded as much as the increment of senior population.
Second, in the aspects of program operation, the object of senior employment should be unified as 65, the information system of senior job should be established, the occupational category should be diversified to help find a tailored employment, special employment assistants should be expanded and employment assistant institutes should be integrated.
Third, in the aspects of customer demand(job offer and job-hunting), the recognition of senior employment should be converted, the seniority wage system should be converted into the service allowance, annual salary or wage peak system, the working environment should be improved by redesigning the position, seniors themselves should also have the faith and will to work and the lifelong education & training system should be settled and activated.
In conclusion, to promote the proposal to activate senior employment, the government and enterprises should make efforts for senior employment and to shake off the wrong bias against seniors, and seniors themselves should also self-develop and make efforts to be employed in active attitude.
