Abstract
AbstractSince longevity of Korea is increasing and Korea moves rapidly from an aged society to a super aged society, older adults are becoming very active. Older adults attempt to find their social role after retirement and after entering into the empty nest syndrome. To compensate for their lost role, they try to contribute their experience, knowledge, and skills for Korean society. For analysis, volunteer activities, which were performed in the Korean Senior Citizens Association, were used focusing on how long and how many older adults volunteer. Additionally, each volunteer program was evaluated also. This study focused on the volunteering experiences of older adults and examined volunteerism as an active aging perspective. Based on findings that the types of volunteering depended on the provinces people lived in, their class status, and age, a volunteer model was established as a new role for older Korean adults in the super aged society.
