The problematic issue of senior citizens can be said to have sprung from the rapid industrialization that took place following the 1960's. As a result of industrialization, the large family units that existed were replaced by smaller nuclear families, and the role of senior citizens was consequently altered significantly from that of previous times. Hence, senior citizens became a burdensome existence, compared to the positions of respect as the center of the family that they had previously. As a result, senior citizens' overall physical ability and activeness have decreased and they are more susceptible to diseases than they once were. Therefore, the direct interest of senior citizens can be said to be related to health. However, the greatest problem in our country's senior citizen welfare policy is that there is no definite welfare program for senior citizens living with their families. There is no proper understanding of those senior citizens who would be the subjects of such a program, or even what organization would be responsible for carrying out such a program. An aging society is one in which the senior citizen population accounts for 7% or more of the entire population, and when senior citizens account for 14~15% of the entire population, the society is called an old age society. With the latter case impending upon our country, it is time to prepare for the situation through the establishment of various policies. The increased average life expectancy and population of senior citizens is in turn increasing the number of senior citizens who have no familial or institutional support. Consequently, a long term protective solution for these people and families supporting senior citizens is in great need. The government and children of senior citizens have the responsibility of protecting and nurturing senior citizens, who have made continuous efforts to improve the country and properly raise their children, but who are now too weak to live independently. The purpose of the study is to consider solutions for the development and establishment of a policy to promote the well-being of senior citizens and families supporting them in such a way that makes maximum use of our country's tradition respect and support ability for senior citizens, fulfilling the needs of senior citizens who require aid. As possible solutions for this issue, Firstly, the current over-simplified, protection-based method of assortment in senior citizen welfare policies must be replaced by a system based on a more universal viewpoint that would protect all needy senior citizens. Secondly, more comprehensive services should be offered, through the diversification of possible services. Thirdly, a policy in which the receiving end is the focal point must be established.
