솔로사회의 원인과 영향에 대한 인과순환구조 분석: 초솔로사회에 대한 시스템사고

Super-solo society is defined as the phenomenon in which a person living in solo becomes the majority of the population. The acceleration at which Korea's population is going solo is mainly a result of rapid growing trend of more young Koreans embracing a single lifestyle, the increase in bereavement due to the difference in life expectancy between men and women and the divorce of couples without children. Demographic changes such as aging and low fertility are becoming path structures of super-solo society. This study aims to identify the Causal feedback structure of its factors and effects based on the Systems Thinking. In particular, this study attempted to examine how fast the super-solo society progresses and what effect it will have in the future with the dominant causal structural analysis. Furthermore, this study explore the policy direction of how to respond to the super solo society.
