AB - The purpose of this study is to examine how the government's ageing population policies embrace the human rights of older persons to set out policy agenda for the establishment of ageing population policies that help protect human rights. First, the human rights elements in the establishment of 『The 2nd Plan for Ageing Society and Population』(hereinafter the “Basic Plan”) were examined. Second, 『Basic Plan』, 『2011 Central Government Execution Plan』 and 『2011 Seoul City Execution Plan』were reviewed to find out whether they conform to the 35 objectives of 『Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing』(MIPAA). The analysis produced results that participation and transparency assurance mechanisms were identified in the establishment of basic plan but the human rights elements were found out to be insufficient or difficult to verify. The conformity test in comparison with MIPAA, Korea's ageing population policies turned out to reflect a large portion of human rights elements provided by MIPAA but fail to sufficiently embrace the policies with regard to older persons’ participation in decision-making processes and the underprivileged groups such as older women, older persons with disabilities, and older persons in rural areas. Older persons’ human rights policies must be upgraded to close loopholes in the existing plans in order to embrace the human rights of the elderly more actively in the establishment and planning of ageing population policies.
Furthermore, more efforts are required to develop agenda for the protection of senior human rights, introduce human rights impact assessment, establish guidelines over the establishment and execution of human rights-based ageing population policies, and concentrate resources on underprivileged older population. For the establishment and execution of human rights-based ageing population policies, the basic and execution plans must be associated with each other to assure the systematization of human rights-based processes.
