Abstract
|
|
|
|
This research aims at developing a framework for health indicators in Korea. As the Korean economy has developed and the quality of life has improved, the social interest in health issues has expanded rapidly. Due to the significance of policy implications, the production of health indicators by the government has increased recently. However, since each ministry or bureau produces health indicators for its own specific purpose, there exist overlaps between some indicators . On the other hand, some necessary indicators reflecting the very fast-changing social and natural environment are not developed well. In response, this research reviews theories of health in the field of sociology and public health and examines experiences in other countries in order to develop a framework for organizing and re-building health indicators in Korea. Specific domains and indicators for each domain are proposed in the framework.
