The rapid aging of the population is strongly manifested in the economic difficulties and loss of role of the middle-aged and elderly, retirement and morality, and complex difficulties such as illness, which are strongly expressed in the alienation and depression of the elderly, suicide, and social exclusion. We found many previous studies that pointed out the direct influence relationship between depression and the degree of depression in the elderly. was necessary.
An empirical analysis of middle-aged and elderly people in Incheon City and Gyeonggi-do indicates that economic and political exclusion factors, which are sub-factors of social exclusion, affect depression. We found that the degree of cognitive depression in the elderly decreased as exclusion and political exclusion decreased, and we presented the results of this analysis in the main text.
Suggestions are as follows. First, a multidimensional analysis of subfactors for social exclusion was performed and found to be statistically significant for economic and political exclusion, but not for sociocultural exclusion. This can be used as basic data and to raise the need for a multi-dimensional approach to lower the degree of depression in the elderly.
Second, in terms of the mental health of the elderly, various efforts are needed to ameliorate the phenomenon of economic and political exclusion through changed policies. The most important thing is to create a lifelong health management system for the elderly who live long and healthy, and to develop, implement, and implement various programs that can reduce social exclusion in the central and local governments, social welfare institutions, and local communities. is important.
