A Study on the Methods to Enhance the Effectiveness of Senior Employment Programs

Each of the countries is showing keen interest in senior employment programs in order to utilize the idle manpower of the aged and also enhance the life quality of the aged. Thereupon, this study examines the chief cases of advanced nations through comparative analysis with Korea’s senior employment programs being presently implemented and suggests the methods to enhance the effectiveness from the aspects of subjects, contents, transmission systems, and finance. First, since the criteria of the aged are defined differently in 「The Act on Employment Promotion for the Aged」 and 「The Act on Welfare for the Aged」, the senior employment programs are being operated under the different criteria by the subjects of supply. Second, considering the fact that the chief reason why the aged in Korea are now intending to get a job is for financial needs, it is necessary to selectㆍsupport the types of jobs for the senior employment which are profitable financially and also develop the types of jobs for the senior employment appropriate for the current situations that the aged are now in. Third, in order to prevent the inefficiency for the duplicated transmission resulted from the diversification in the subjects of supply, it is needed to integrate the transmission system of the senior employment programs and also organize the local community support council.
