“Respect Thy Father and Thy Mother in Old Age” – on the Social Determinants of the (in) Presence of Old Age in the Space of the Polish Family. Reminiscences of Representatives of the Baby Boomers Generation

Old age is a life stage that is very often analyzed in the context of losses and the many difficulties that an elderly person must face. Dependence or reliance inherent for many seniors make their successful daily functioning require thirdparty support. Socio-cultural or legal rationales allow us to expect that help for dependent seniors will be provided by the family. However, the reality around us verifies this belief often to the disadvantage of the family environment. Moreover, it turns out that the opinion on the (in)presence of old age in the space of the Polish family, significantly depends on the generational affiliation of those who make an assessment of the state of affairs. This is due, among other things, to the social conditions and the axionormative system in which the socialization process of the representatives of each generation took place. The submitted article discusses the reminiscences of representatives of the generation of post-war Baby Boomers, i.e. people born between 1946 and 1964. Experiencing childhood and the years of early adolescence in the conditions of the Polish People’s Republic, including attachment to the family and religious values of Polish society at the time, are circumstances that cannot be ignored, determining the views of people growing up at the time. Based on qualitative research conducted in 2022, the text will discuss the recollections of women and men of the Baby Boomers generation regarding old age in the family space during their childhood, as well as opinions on contemporary trends. The author’s intention is to convince the reader that religion’s function of providing and sustaining a sense of meaning and purpose in existence, especially under the harsh reality of communist times, was not without influence on the identity and attitudes of the Baby Boomers generation growing up at the time.

포스트코로나 시대 한국 베이비부머 세대의 권장 신체활동량 달성 여부에 영향을 미치는 요소에 대한 분석

This study aimed to investigate the effects of demographic and sociological variables, depression, hypertension, diabetes diagnosis, obesity, and social distancing among the Korean baby boomers in the post-corona era on physical activity practice. Through the 2021 Community Health Survey (CHS), a complex sample frequency analysis, cross-analysis and logistic regression model were verified for a total of 18,234 male and 21,407 female baby boomers. As a result of the analysis, marital status, education level, depression, and diabetes were significantly related to the recommended physical activity in both males and females, and obesity was a significant factor in female baby boomer generation members. As a result of analyzing the relative influence through the Odd Ratio, if the physical activity level is arranged in descending order compared to the reference group, men with a high school education or less, women who experienced depression, women who were obese, men who experienced depression, women who were single, women who were under high school educational women, single men, women diagnosed with diabetes, and men diagnosed with diabetes. Policies related to physical activity should be promoted based on the results of this study. In the clinical field, it is necessary to first look at whether there is a mental illness in the process of establishing an exercise prescription strategy tailored to the baby boomer generation. Phenomenological studies related to the physical activity preference and restriction factors of the baby boomer generation should also be carried out in consideration of disease morbidity and sociological factors.

ADVANCE DIRECTIVES: SOLO AGERS RISK OF BECOMING "UNBEFRIENDED"

Abstract Solo agers are an at-risk population of almost 14 million older U.S. adults currently living alone (Administration for Community Living, 2018). Having been independent for most of their lives they often enter older age unprepared for declining health. Even though the numbers of solo agers are rapidly increasing with the aging of the Baby Boomer generation, research remains scant on this population (Colby & Ortman, 2014). A mounting concern facing solo agers is finding themselves “unbefriended” (i.e., having no one to act as health care proxy in the event of incapacitation due to a medical crisis). The risk of unbefriended status emphasizes the critical importance of advance care planning; however, many solo agers have no advance directives and factors influencing advance care planning in this group are unclear. In this mixed-methods study, we examined factors influencing advance care planning among solo agers. Survey data were collected from 467 members of a Facebook group for self-identified “elder orphans,” six of whom subsequently participated in qualitative interviews. Among these solo agers, 55% indicated they had advance directives. Hierarchical logistic regression results indicated financial and overall wellbeing predicted having advance directives; however, perceived health risk did not. An interpretive phenomenological analysis of data from six in-depth interviews revealed emergent themes of fears of the future and reluctance to plan for end of life despite acknowledging health risks. Findings can inform policies to meet the growing needs of solo agers who may be at elevated risk of becoming unbefriended.

유럽 U3A 비교분석을 통한 한국형 노인 대학평생교육 모형 제언

As the baby-boomer generation of Korea is incorporated into the elderly population, personal needs for self-development and the demands for building a democratic community are growing. Lifelong education for seniors needs to be shifted from the paradigm of leisure and welfare to the paradigm of lifelong education, led by universities or equivalent educational organizations, that supports the awareness, growth, and social participation of the senior citizen. Considering this issue, this study is to present possible models for establishing university-led lifelong education system for seniors in Korea.
 Therefore, this research is to conduct a comparative analysis of the literature on the history of U3A development, educational goals, operating system, learner characteristics, and educational contents on the UK and Germany and to present a Korean university-led lifelong education model for seniors and suggestions for its implementation. As a result, the Korean model was presented in four different models: Continental U3A model application, university platform provision, expert provision, and British U3A model application. The suggested directions of Korean U3A are: first, universities and other organizations need to be involved and offer learners quality education and certificates afterwards. Second, the educational goals and contents of education need to be structured for the expansion of social capital of seniors and therefore community development.

Challenges for Baby Boomers Generation Teachers in Implementing the Industrial Revolution 4.0 Curriculum

The industrial revolution 4.0 is the technological era. In the world of education, technology is the key to success. Then the industrial revolution 4.0 curriculum emerged that included technology as its development. However, not all teachers are proficient in operating technology.

The purpose of this study is to find out the challenges of baby boomer teachers in implementing the 4.0 industrial revolution curriculum and their solutions. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative with literature study method. The challenges faced by these baby boomers are technology itself, motivation, and energy. Meanwhile, the solution to these challenges comes from the government, namely in the form of teacher certification and required competency training. From the school side, it is in the form of capacity building and providing motivation. And researchers also contribute solutions in the form of peer collaboration.

Fenomena Baby Boom dan Dampaknya pada Populasi Jepang Masa Kini

<p><strong>The baby boom phenomenon is a condition of the Japanese population surge that occurred from 1947 to 1949. This was due to the decline in the Japanese population due to the bombing of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the United States in 1945 which killed 90,000-146,000 people in Hiroshima and 39,000-80,000 people in Nagasaki. This condition resulted in all Japanese soldiers being withdrawn from the war and returning to civilian life. Life changes make residents focus on family matters, consequently causing a situation of explosive population increase of up to 5% every year.

Ilmu dan Ulama Millenial dalam Perspektif Hadits Nabi Muhammad Saw

In the study of this article, Muslims back off because they left their holy book. The Qur'an is only used as a competition arena and its verses are only written on small white paper. The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic and other disasters that have hit various regions in Indonesia recently need to be investigated and found solutions to overcome them. One of the people who are required to be able to take a role in finding solutions to these problems are the scholars. The study in this article uses a literature review (Library Research). Literature review can be said as a method where in the process of searching, collecting and analyzing data sources to be processed and presented in the form of a library research report with a variety of topics needed, both education, social culture, and others. But what is certain, this study can be done in the library or elsewhere as long as there are relevant reading sources. The advantages of people who have knowledge over people who worship (without knowledge), are like the advantages of the moon (full moon) with (light) stars. Studying is a national education program that must be followed by Indonesian citizens on the responsibility of the government and local governments. Millennials are the demographic group after Generation X (Gen-X). There is no definite time limit for the beginning and end, millennials are generally the children of the Baby Boomers generation.

Exploring multigenerational co-residence in the United States

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the increasing trend of multigenerational co-living in the USA and to research the socioeconomic and cultural determinants of such decision.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the 2017 American Housing Survey data to run descriptive and regression analysis.FindingsThe authors find household income appears consistently to be the most significant factor determining multigenerational co-residence decision across all household compositions. Latino households are most likely to co-reside with multiple generations, followed by Asian and African American households. Immigrants tend to live in multigenerational co-residential housing units with smaller sizes and more impoverished neighborhoods, but show greater flexibility in making residential arrangements once they gain better education. In addition, older householders or female householders are significantly more likely to co-reside with multiple generations. Living in metropolitan areas has no impact on co-residence choice, although some evidence suggests that multigenerational co-residential families tend to live in inferior neighborhoods.Research limitations/implicationsThis study provides updated evidence on multigenerational co-residence choice in the contemporary United States. The findings provide evidence on how households make residential choices in response to financial hardships and contribute to the theoretical understanding of the variations of such decisions among immigrants and different ethnic and aging groups.Practical implicationsThis study on multigenerational co-residence choice imposes important practical implications. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic creates ideal research setting to study how households cope with the tremendous uncertainties in the job markets and financial markets. Although multigenerational co-living may work well for some households with lower or moderate-income for financial reasons, it is not an attractive option for every family.Social implicationsSharing a home with multiple generations can be challenging. Policymakers should design policies and programs to provide households with guidance on how to live peacefully in multigenerational settings and make multigenerational co-living an appealing and cost-effective housing option for American families of all means.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing literature by providing new evidence on the determinants of multigenerational co-residence decision. This study’s findings are fundamental to guide policymakers in carrying out policies and programs aimed at providing a more appealing and cost-effective housing arrangement for American families. The evidence on the senior and minority subsamples are especially meaningful as the vast majority of the baby boom generation in the USA is aging and substantial growth is expected in multigenerational households over the next several decades. Understanding the increasing burden of old-age depression in aging societies will help policymakers prioritize public resources in city planning to address the needs of this rapidly growing population.

Mothers of Mid-century Spanish Families: Agents of Social Change in the Context of Dictatorship and Patriarchy

This article focuses on how middle-class families created during the second half of the Francoist dictatorship in Spain decisively contributed to improving the educational level of the biggest generation in Spanish society, born between the late 1950s and the mid-1970s. Mothers played a particularly important role in this ‘educational shift’. Even though under Francoism legislation and moral habits implied female subordination in virtually all spheres of life, many of those mothers were willing and able to promote their children's education irrespective of their gender. Making use of oral history, the article offers an account of how mothers of the Spanish baby boom generation entered into marriage, organised their daily lives at home and took decisions regarding their children's welfare and education. Today in their old age, these women deserve to be considered important agents of the remarkable social change Spain has experienced during the last decades.

Japan’s death-laden society: Five areas of prospective policy challenges

Today, Japan stands as the world’s leading super-aged society. In the coming decade, preceding the rest of the aging globe, the country will phase into the next demographic stage called a “death-laden” society. Due in part to the aging and prospective mortality of the country’s two major baby boom generations along with a projected decline in the number of the working age population, Japan will be laden with ballooning deaths from old age from 2030 onward for several decades to come. Only in recent years have researchers started paying attention to this demographic prospect, and to date, little study has been done to systematically examine how the coming of a death-laden society may affect the health, well-being, and comfort of those in advanced age in the country. This paper aims to contribute to the newly emerging body of literature on this subject by exploring, based mainly on findings from expert interviews, five key areas of policy challenges with which Japan’s death-laden society will likely contend. These areas include: (1) shortages in basic medical resources for the dying; (2) mounting public burden of disease; (3) potential prevalence of ‘lonely deaths’ among those in advanced age; (4) urgency to facilitate national discussions on end-of-life options; and (5) crematorium shortages and their cultural impact. The future research is called for to help mitigate the impact of a death-laden society not only for Japan but also for other countries that may follow Japan’s demographic path in the conceivable future.

Assessment of Digital Activity of the Population in the Context of the Theory of Generations

Purpose of the study. Digital reality dictates the need to develop a new block of competencies - digital skills. For employment and subsequent career growth, knowledge of computer technology, programming skills and the use of software are of high importance. For a high-quality daily life of different age categories of the population, competencies in the use of personal computers, the Internet and other types of ICT are required. In the context of the rapid expansion of the Internet audience, it is of particular interest to assess the activity of the population in the digital space and analyze the purposes of its use. The materials of the article touch upon the theory of generations, which reveals patterns in the behavior of people born in the same time intervals. Representatives of different generations under the influence of economic, political, social and cultural factors form their own values and perception of the world. Which, ultimately, will require the adaptation of both the consumer goods and services market and the labor market to the characteristics of representatives of each generation. This predetermines the need to study the specifics of the use of the digital environment by representatives of the designated economically active generations.Materials and methods. The information base of the study was the data of the Federal State Statistics Service for 2012–2019, as well as the results of sample surveys of households on the use of ICT. As a tool for assessing the digital behavior of representatives of economically and socially active generations, statistical methods were used: comparative analysis and analysis of time series.Results. The age structure of the population of the Russian Federation is represented by the following generations: the baby boomer generation, generations X, Y and Z. The share of these economically and socially active generations is 95% of the total population of the country. The share of the greatest and silent generations is 5%. Each generation has its own patterns of behavior. Comparative characteristics of the features of the use of the digital environment led to the conclusion that for all generations the priority goals of using the Internet are communications and personal interaction. The main differences are manifested in the specifics of actions performed by representatives of the generations under consideration on the Internet and consumer preferences for goods and services presented on different digital platforms. At the same time, representatives of generation Z have a higher level of digital skills compared to representatives of other generations. The results of the study are of interest to business representatives when developing strategic directions for interacting with consumers and subsequently involving a significant part of society in the online space.

Early retirement intentions: the impact of employment biographies, work stress and health among a baby-boomer generation

In recent years, early retirement decisions have become more frequent in the European Union despite political efforts to prevent early retirement. This is a growing problem for the social security system. The study focuses on a life course approach using employment biographies and investigates the influence of work stress and health on early retirement intentions. Data of employees who were born in either 1959 or 1965 of the German cohort study on work, age, health and work participation are analysed (n = 3338). By linking survey and register data from 1993 to 2011, a sequence analysis is conducted to identify employment biographies. To analyse the relationship between the employment biographies and intended early retirement, a longitudinal path analysis is computed and includes work stress, measured through effort-reward imbalance, and self-rated health. The statistical analyses identify three adverse employment biographies, i.e. part-time work, episodes of unemployment or marginal employment. In addition, two favourable employment biographies are determined, characterised by full-time work and few episodes of unemployment. The results of the path analysis show that employment biographies with high work-related stress have early retirement intentions. Among adverse employment biographies, indirect effects of poor health on the association between work stress and early retirement intentions are found. Unexpectedly, among full-time workers, work stress is also associated with early retirement intentions with an additional mediation through health. The findings of this study highlight the importance of the life course perspective when analysing retirement decisions. In addition to health-promoting interventions in the labour market, effects of psychosocial factors should be focussed on in order to reduce early exits from the labour market.

A Review of Personality Characteristics of Millennials

Researchers have attempted to untangle the complexity of the Millennial generation through an approach based on four primary influences—time lag, cohabitation, duration, and personal and social characteristics. Research has also found cogitable personality differences between Millennials and the previous generation of Baby Boomers and Generation Xs. The Millennial generation, born 1982-2000, has attracted considerable attention in the media, educational institutions, and the workplace. Millennials are considered to be a demographic group that is highly educated and believed to have high levels of self-confidence and self-reliance. While being socially active, independent, and individualistic, they believe more in working in teams. They are the children of parents who provide a good nurturing and protective environment. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive review of the available literature on the personality characteristics of Millennials, in order to get a better understanding the of Millennials Generation, we have detailed the old as well as emergent research on the Millennial Generation Personality, so that it may be leveraged in further research
