Introduction : Based on the 2007 ISSP survey on leisure activities, this paper examines the ways that Korean and French men and women over age 65 spend their leisure time and analyzes how they differ by country and sex.
Methods : In order to compare the groups by both country and sex, this study adopts a cross-tabulation analysis methodology. The sample size for this study is 213 Korean participants and 475 French. The Korean sample is composed of 124 women and 89 men, while the French sample consists of 200 women and 275 men. The paper analyzes the differences between each group by examining how often each watches TV, participates in cultural events or group activities, attends family gatherings, and spends their free time on special purposes. Furthermore, the paper also considers the participants` different preferences for time management, the factors that restrict their free time, their health condition, their emotional wellbeing, and more.
Conclusion : In conclusion, the paper suggests appropriate policies on leisure activities for Korean seniors over 65 years.
