Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose implications by analyzing the factors affecting the use of home-help services of long-term care according to gender. Anderson's Behavioral Model was used, and 4,503 elderly aged 65 or older were finally analyzed from the 16th data of the Korean Welfare Panel. The main findings are as follows. First, in common for both groups, the super-aged elderly, low level of social relationship satisfaction, and low level of subjective health status increased the probability of using home service. Second, unlike the elderly male, the worse the family relationship satisfaction, the more chronic the disease, and the higher the residential environment satisfaction, and the higher the probability of using home-help service. Based on the results of an empirical analysis of the factors of home-help services of long-term care, this study proposed empirical methods of service use by gender characteristics and provided discussions on policy support.
