ABSTRACT

South Korea will be faced with the need of retaining or reemploying of middle- aged and older workers due to shortage of labor stemmed from decline in working-age population. Middle-aged and older people’s active aging are deemed to be highly required now in view of the current demographic situation. This paper focuses on remaining time in middle-aged and older people’s lives in an attempt to address rapid decline in working-age population and then examines the likely impact that their perception of remaining time can have on their active aging. This study first analyzes and compares middle-aged and older people’s three-stage life - education, work, retirement - and their four-, five-stage life cycle-centered perception of remaining time. We also look into the formation of intangible assets and find that relationship and community can help to expand active lives. This is followed by an examination of Heschel’s understanding and Qoheleth’s perspective on time.
