Abstract

|
The main purpose of this articles is to analyze the welfare needs of the aged that presented as a category of new social risk with the advent of post-industrial society and to examine the response of the state. There happens the change of the employment model and family model and the weakening of welfare states in the post-industrial society. The point is that it brings about the various categories of new social risks - youth unemployment, poverty of women, suffering from child-bearing. In addition to these risks, the aged become one of the new social risk bearers. In this article, we identify the new risks of the aged as the current one - social services for the aged and the long-term care - and the future one - interrupted employment. For this purpose, we theorize the features of the post-industrial society, the advent of the new social risks, and the modernization of the welfare state in the second chapter. And we examine the responses of the European welfare states to the new social risk of the aged in the third chapter. The response of the current one is to enlarge the old age related social service and to introduce the social protection of the long-term care, and the response of the future one is the introduction of the pension credits to protect the interrupted employment. Finally, we consider the meaning and the suggestion of this research to the aged in our society.
