This study examines the association between family policies and family gap using data for 14 OECD countries. As family policies have different assumptions about women's roles and include variant sub-policies, this study identify two distinct family policies: 'employment support policy' to support women as employed workers and 'caregiving support policy' to support women as caregivers. Meanwhile, women's wage cannot be determined by the effect of 'only' family policy. Therefore, analysis model includes variant macro structure supposed to affect women's labor status and wage, like labor market structure, wage structure(compression), women's social status and economic status, and examines interaction effects between family policies and these labor market and social structures using Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FSQCA). The FSQCA result shows that relatively low family gap is associated with the conjunctual causation of developed 'employment support policy' and compressed wage structure.

The purpose of this study was to analyse effects of public support for single-parent family for adolescent single-parent who experienced social exclusion and social network. This study utilized a part of National Youth Policy Institute's 'Research on the Actual Condition of the Adolescent Pregnancy, Birth and Rearing Children'. Participants of the study were 262 adolescent single-parents at the age of 24 and below. In order to understand the effect, this study verified the moderating effect of public support for single-parent family in the context of social exclusion and social network on parental attitude and behavior(parenting efficacy, parenting stress, negative parenting behavior). Results of this study are as follows; First, Nearly half of adolescent single-parent has economic hardship in original family and most they lived with preschool children on unemployed state that the average monthly income of them was about 600,000 won. It means that their financial independence difficult.

This article attempts to discuss the childcare regime through examining the way familialism is expressed in society. First of all, this study reconceptualizes familialism and familism. From this conceptualization, this paper argues that although familialism is partly related with the level of development in a welfare state, familialism determines the way of welfare provision. Especially, family policy models are classified into 6 different typologies based on four concepts: defamilialization, familialization, public, and private. According to this discussion, familialism in child care is not simply the result of underdeveloped welfare in Korea. Rather the familialism is deeply rooted in the current socioeconomic circumstance and traditional culture in Korea. This implies that despite of expanding the institutional infrastructure of public childcare, the characteristic of Korean childcare regime would not be the same as the Nordic childcare regime.

One-parent family is increasing in Korea, changing its forms and identity. One-parent family policy policy should be established in terms of gender analysis, as men-headed family and women-headed family are in the very different situation regarding social status of gender. One-parent family policy needs gender-sensitive perspectives and also should be closely linked with child welfare policy and post-poverty strategies. This paper suggests distinguished situation of one-parent family by gender, and tries to explore specific ways of supporting one-parent family. Most of all, to set up the proper supporting system for one-parent family, the special needs and difficulties are analyzed by gender, which will lead towards the cohesive and holistic family policy.

이 연구는 고령화 사회의 도래에 따른 위기의 상황에서 농촌노인들의 삶의 질의 측면에서 가족 및 사회적 관계는 어떠하며, 심각한 사회문제로 대두되고 있는 농촌노인들의 복지정책의 문제점을 살펴보고자 한다. 농촌노인의 삶의 질을 살펴보기 위하여, 농촌 노인의 가족구성을 살펴본 결과 농촌노인들은 노부부만 거주하는 비율이 가장 높고(39.0%), 결혼한 아들 가족과 함께 사는 경우(27.3%), 독거(21.2%), 미혼자녀와 함께 사는(7.9%) 순으로 높은 비율을 보이고 있다. 사회적 관계는 따로 사는 자녀와의 관계가 가장 높으며(97.1%), 그 다음으로는 친한 친구나 이웃이 있고(94.8%), 자주 왕래하는 비동거 자녀는 평균 2.4명, 친척은 약 3명, 친구나 이웃은 5.5명으로 총 약 10여명의 가까운 사람들과 교류하여 사회적 관계가 비교적 높은 편으로 나타나고 있다(농림부, 2002). 농촌노인의 삶의 질은 가족간의 관계가 아주 중요한 지원 체계로서 자녀와 동거하는 농촌노인들은 단독가구 노인에 비해 높은 생활만족도, 높은 행복감, 낮은 고독감을 보이는 것으로 나타나고 있고(한경혜, 2003), 노인의 사회적 지원 망의 크기가 크고 다양할수록 노인의 생활 만족도나 심리적 복지감에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 한다.

The purpose of the paper is to discuss the restructuring of the family policy from a gender-integrating perspective. Several meaningful conclusions were reached. First, examining family policy from the laborer's perspective, the issue of work and family becomes not a gender-related issue but rather an issue for universal people. Second, in order to include the difference in interest among men and women in the labor market, and to view the issue from a gender-integrating perspective, the framework for family policy should consider the place of labor. Third, if family policy is divided into family and labor arena based on the above mentioned framework, the core content of the policy should gear toward loosening and/or eliminating barriers to fulfill the right to work for pay and the right to care for family. Lastly, family policy should aim at men and women sharing the responsibility of supporting and caring for the family. By doing so, we may be closer to maintaining work and family together, the ultimate goal of family policy.
