The purpose of this study is to compare the caregiving consciousness in baby-boom and echo-boom generation, and to examine the effects of the image of the elderly and intimacy on their caregiving consciousness. In order to do this, a survey was conducted for 200 baby-boom generation(aged 52-60), 265 eco-boom generation(aged 23-36) living in Seoul, Gygong-gi, and Chung-nam, and the data were analyzed with SPSS V.22 and AMOS v.21. The results of this study are as follows; First, economic caregiving consciousness is significantly different by educational level and average monthly income and physical caregiving consciousness is significantly different by grown-up area among baby-boom generation. Among echo-boom generation, the economic caregiving consciousness is significantly different by a marital status and average monthly income and psychological and physical caregiving consciousness are significantly different by grown-up area. Second, the effects of the image of elderly and intimacy on the caregiving consciousness are examined by using the structure equation modeling analysis. It is showed that the intimacy entirely mediates between the image of the elderly and caregiving consciousness for baby-boom generation. While the intimacy partially mediates between the image of the elderly and caregiving consciousness for echo-boom generation. The differences in caregiving consciousness between the two generations provide us basic data to understand the level of future caregiver’s caregiving consciousness, and the analysis of the factors affecting the caregiving consciousness can be based on establishing the caregiving support policy.
