This study aims to develop Aging Response Index (ARI) for evaluating current status of Korea ageing response policy, by measuring a level of national effort, policy implementation, and social contexts for preparedness of ageing society. The ARI represents a relative level of the aging response policy via international comparison across 28 OECD countries, as well as represents a trend of positive responding policy development by using time-series data analysis. The ARI is composed of five focal areas of the ageing response policy, such as income, health, employment, social support, and sustainability. This index is multidimensionally assessed by calculating a total aging response scale (compositing the five focal indicators) as well as two subtotal aging response scales (compositing policy-response indicators and policy-result indicators respectively). The finding from ARI analysis of Korea showed that the policy-result index score decreased while the policy-response index score has been increased since 2000. In terms of ARI results from international comparison analysis, two types of national positive ageing response policy, higher scores of the total ARI indicated among the OECD countries, are classified as follow: 1) Ireland scored higher on health and sustainability, and 2) Denmark scored higher on social support and employment.
