ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factor which affects the civic engagement based on the internal heterogeneity according to the middle and old-aged people's income. This study was to divide the population group of middle and old-aged people according to the income in quartile and to confirm the effectiveness on the correlates of civic engagement suggested in preceding study. As for the analysis data, this study was to use Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA). The result of this research is may be summed up as follows. This study has shown that the correlates of most of civic engagement had significant effect on the group of total middle and old-aged people. However, as a result of analyzing it by dividing it into the income distribution group, this study has found out that the influence of variables showed a tendency to be lost in consecutive order as income levels rose. In particular, at the group which showed the highest income level, the whole variable except the education level and health status lost its explanation power. Based on the analysis result, this study was to implicatively suggest that various policies which induced the civic engagement for the middle and old-aged people should have policy resilience which could be applied individually according to the individual income level and needs for the middle and old-aged people.
