Abstract
Paying attention to the ripple effects of population aging on our whole society has improved Korea’s ability to cope with the downsides since the early 2000s. Now, if we can pay attention to quality of life and related issues for elderly members of our society, we will further strengthen the sustainability and overall wellbeing of that society. Mindful of this potential, this study seeks to assess the welfare policy programs for the elderly concerning diverse aspects of life from the perspective of the elderly themselves, and explore ways to improve these programs.
