Recently, thanks to the medical development and the improvement of a living standeard, the average life apan became extened, so the preportion that the aged's population took up in the total population has gradually increased.
The population aging is one of pressing issues that every nation in the world is confronted with in the 21st centry. As people's average life-span widens due to the improvement of
the health medical services as well as the overall livingcondition, and fewer babies are born or dead, the absolute number of old population increase. On the contrary, as the nuclear family system is being more established in line with the industrialization had urbanization of our society, people's sense of support of their older parents is being faded away. Therefore, such problems involving the old population as poverty, diseases and sense of alienation are required to be solved not by individual families but some comprehensive social welfare programs.
In particular, old people's of poverty and health are most essential ones which should first be improved. At any time in the past, these problems were always featured as national priorities. These problems has been also increased, and so that, the problem of aged is now recognized as the most interesting one among the fields of social welfare.
Today, the social welfare policy for aged in Korea is more that a complementary measure for the total policies of the old people's population. In the respect, we should approach and recognize the problem in the view point of not only the layer of present aged people but also the one of next generation. The policy for the aged, therefore, should be established.
synthetically in order not to be a temporary counter-measure for sustaining the hungry men's life, but to make their needs satisfied in their total life, with supporting them in the various fields of the spiritual, and cultural sides, as well as economical one.
Presupposing the above problems, this thesis consists with six chapter including preface and conclusion. To summarize it ; As a theoretical approach, first of all, I survey the concept of the welfare of the aged and the background of the problemetic through data and theories. Basing one the theory, I study the reality of welfare of the aged, and investigate in Korea. With this, I tried to find the problems of the welfare of the aged that I could not overlook here.
Through the process, I tried to establish the fundamental improving direction of the old people's welfare policy in Korea. I should say it is here that there is a core of this study.
Studies on the welfare of the aged must be lasted and inquired without stopping, for this is the most serious problem in modern society. It could be said that this study is the humble attempt to encounter with it.
