Our country, making a rapid change in a family pattern( a nuclear family) as a result of low birth rates and radical industrialization and urbanization, has also more increasingrate in the ratio of the aged than ever before.
We can also attribute the prolonged average life span to the advancement in science - technology. As of 2006, 9,5 % over the age 65 in our country indicates that we have already entered aged society. Of all the communities, Kyeong-Sang-Nam-Do is being the most conspicuously increased. The present situation there is as follows : Uiryeong county(27,4%) Namhae county(27,0%),Sancheong county(25.5%), Hapcheon county(25.0%), Hamyang county(24.2%),Hadong county(22.5%), Gosung county(21.0%), Changnyong county(20.9%)are not any longer belongs to a mere meaning of aged society - let`s call them super aged society. Geochang county, Hanman county and Miryang city are at the entrance of the aged society.
Hence, We need many kinds of basic and special services. To make the most use of our tradition in which we Koreans have a strong attachment in supporting his or her aged seniors andTo meet the craves of lower income aged people, We have many things to do, such as income guaranteeing works for the aged, health care businesses, recreations, as well as enlarging the chance to participate in the local society including the place to accommodate the aged who have no place or no one to turn to.
In this sense, income guarantee system, health care business and welfare agency will be centered in this study and this thesis also aims at exposing the problems of current aged people related welfare policy in our country, trying to find methods to improve those problems.If we give our utmost effort about how to treat the welfare policy for the aged in the future, the fruits will be harvested.
Thanks to the introduction of National Basic Livelihood in Oct. 2007, Our country was finally able to frame the basic infrastructure of the roots of four social security policies- National Pension, National Health Insurance,Work’ Accident Compensation Insurance, Employment Insurance plus Public Assistance, which are all be included as social welfare services.But the expense of social security in Korea has recorded the lowest among OECD nations. and the backwardness in social security is frequently pointed out for the reasons that there are too many broad fields to apply to and the level of benefits is too low and the system operated for the purposes is too unscientific. Although there has been a steady increasing in their earnings or incomes, the need for welfare in all the class of life in our country has been also amplified. Especially, The widespread selfish centered point of view tendency in our society, nuclear style family, the increasing rate in divorce, women`s participation in social activities and low birth rate have made it weaken to support his or her family.
In addition, the above trends also increasingly made aged people feel alienation. Going into the society filled with the aged caused by the improvement of living standard, the advancement in medical technology , unprecedented concerning about health, consequently result in the expansion of one`s life span, Society has no choice but to put great emphasis on the part of the welfare policy for the aged.
Ultimately, the two great branches which the welfare policy for the aged should follow are these two categories ;
1. Enlarging services and reinforcement of self-sustained growth through social unity.
2. Building up the environment in which the aged can spend their remaining years fruitfully
The direction of policy to achieve the above two goals is to guarantee income after retiring, to set up the system which governmental level of nursing will be served and to enlarge the chance to participate in social activities.
But what`s more important thing than anything else is that the aged should discard their old way of thinking that it is natural for them to be supported by their children. It also mean that they should always be ready to pay those things they have received back to their society. They can also set up a new trend of tradition keeping it from generation to generation by using their accumulated experience, know-how and wisdom for their country and up- coming generations.
