ABSTRACT

This treatise deals with the legal problems in regard to construction of the ‘Welfare of the Aged Act’ in Korea. In case the Act has some problems, I'd like to advance my opinion on the point of legislative views. Enforcement Decree of the Welfare of the Aged Act Article 18(1) says that the aged who serve their community may be payed. However the legal nature of the activity is a kind of service as usual. In case an aged man who serves as a regional service volunteer is dismissed on the contrary to his intention from service, he may be disheartened. It is possible that dismissal from service makes him lose hope or confidence. Therefore the regulation of dismissal from service needs to be revised as a discretionary regulation. It is necessary to make regulations referring to an insurance system, a savings system and an exhibition service to support the aged volunteer by revising the Enforcement Decree of the Welfare of the Aged Act. It is necessary to enlarge the assistance range of occupation in Article 25 of the ‘Welfare of the Aged Act’. I would like to propose that only the poor aged must be adopted and then should be assisted financially for operating their business and also should be given the assistance of an occupation by revising the Enforcement Decree of the Welfare of the Aged Act.
