This paper empirically analyzes specific characteristics of VOD users and their practical viewing patterns, using socio-demographic data of the current IPTV subscribers in combination with actual data of genre usage and payment. The findings revealed active viewing patterns of male, the unemployed, high earners and early adopters. In terms of preferences, households with large numbers of women prefer time shift contents, whereas households composed of more men or preschoolers prefer non-time shift contents. Likewise, the households that have more women or higher income had relatively a lot of experiences of purchasing time shift contents on one hand, but the households characterized by the larger numbers of family members or unemployed householder or young householder showed much willingness to pay premium contents on the other hand. Given the utilization of correct database, the findings offer useful information conducive to service promotion and marketing strategies to maximize VOD use in the practical dimension.

In this paper we try to explain delays in one's first marriage that are observed in contemporary society by accounting for possible factors that may play a substantial role in delaying marriages. Discrete-time survival analysis with unobserved heterogeneity was employed. The result indicates that the odds of getting married compared to odds of not getting married are 0.91 times, i.e. 8.5% lower for women with bachelor's degree than women with high school diploma or below. The odds of getting married compared to odds of not getting married are 0.4 times, i.e. 59.6% lower in case of women with masters and/or doctorate program degree than women with bachelor's degree. Employed men's odds of getting married to not getting married are increased by a factor of 1.65 compared to the unemployed men. In addition, if one's family circumstances are economically below average at the age of 14, the odds decrease by a multiple of 0.65. With these results, we are able to conclude that not only education level but also one's economic ability play significant roles in determining one's marriage decision.

The purpose of this study was to analyze how much demographic and disability-related characteristics influence the quality of life that employed and unemployed disabled people, and determine difference in the influence of those factors between the two disabled groups. For this purpose, the study utilized 1st-year(2016) data from the 2nd wave of the Korean Panel Study on Employment for the Disabled. The findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First, employment is a critical factor that influences the disabled's quality of life. Besides, there are some financial, socio-relational and physical factors on which that quality is heavily dependent. Second, employed disabled people's quality of life is even more influenced by financial factors, socio-relational factors and health state than demographic factors. Third, unemployed disabled people's quality of life is significantly influenced by some demographic factors like gender and age and some physical factors like disability grade and disability period as well as by factors found influencing employed disabled people's quality of life. Thus, the two disabled groups are different from each other in which factors influence their quality of life. Based on these findings, this study made suggestions for the disabled's better quality of life.

This study examined the factors affecting social welfare service utilization of general group and low-income group. The following influencing variables were selected based on the model developed by Anderson and Newman(1973): predisposing factors, enabling factors, need factors. The result shows that in both group the possibility of service utilization is high in case of having a spouse, more family members, feeling one's health ill, no chronic disease. And service use level is high in case of having no spouse, lower income in general group, higher income in low-income group, more family members, feeling one's health ill, having a chronic disease. In addition, the higher service use level is associated in low-income group with men rather than women, younger age, low education, the unemployed rather than the employed, urban residents, low life satisfaction. These findings provide implications and suggestions that each income group has various characteristics and needs, so it is necessary to provide comprehensive and appropriate services through the investigation for potential service recipients' needs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate what items are needed for reemployment according to the life cycle of women and to provide basic data to address the career discontinuity of women. The study selected five women currently unemployed living in Daejeon who were taking classes related to entrepreneurship at the Cultural Center and the Women Resource Development Center. The data collection period was from October to December, 2017, and collected from in depth interviews. An open-ended interview was used to explore the content of the interview process. The results of the study are as follows: Support policies for women with career disruptions should, above all, be given priority over career support to ensure that currently employed women do not quit their jobs due to marriage, childbirth or childcare. In addition, there is a need to improve the relevant systems and to implement vocational education and training programs so that women with career discontinuity can reenter the labor market. To do this, it is necessary to establish and support career planning in order to understand the effects of women's lifecycles and to support women's economic activity.

농촌 지역의 인구 감소 및 그에 따른 지자체의 위기의식이 심화됨에 따라 국내에서도 지역마다 각종 인구 늘리기 시책을 실행하고, 중앙에서 도시민 농촌유치 프로그램 지원 시범사업을 기획하는 등 지역 발전의 기본 요건이 되는 인구 감소의 해결을 위한 노력이 가시화되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 일본의 정주촉진 정책 사례에 대한 고찰을 통해 국내 정책에의 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 시마네현은 일본 혼슈의 동해 연안에 위치하고 있으며, $6707.26km^2$의 면적에 약 74만 2천 명의 인구(2005)가 살고 있는 지역이다. 시마네현의 총 토지면적 중 약 80%가 산림면적이며, 경지면적은 41,000ha로 약 6%를 차지하고 있다. 이 중 논이 80%를 차지하여 논농사 중심의 농업이 이루어지고 있으며, 풍요로운 수산자원을 보유하고 있어 어업활동도 활발하다. 이러한 시마네현에서는 UI턴의 촉진을 위해 '산업체험사업'을 1996년부터 시행하고 있는데, 농림어업에 관한 산업체험을 실시하고, 체험 후의 거주지로 빈집을 활용하는 사업이다. 현 외 거주자가 시마네현 내에서 일정시기 산업체험을 하고자 할 경우, 월 50,000엔이 지급되며, 거주지 확보가 어려울 경우 트레일러하우스나 빈집활용주택, 공영주택 등을 임대해주고 있다. 또 시마네 현 내에서 30세 미만의 청년 미취업자가 일정기간 산업체험을 실시할 경우, 체험에 필요한 경비의 일부를 제공해주고 있다. 그간의 실적을 보면 연간 평균 105명이 체험에 참가하고 있으며, 2000년 이후 정착률은 50%를 넘고 있다. 총 259개의 체험 장소에서 월 평균 4명이 참가하고 있으며, 업종별 참가자수는 농업 및 기타(관광, 전통공예), 어업, 임업, 축산업의 순서로 많은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 시마네현의 고츠시에서는 '도시와의 공생 교류' 실현을 위한 9가지 중점시책을 설정하고 그에 따른 사업을 실행하고 있다. 농산어촌의 취락을 유지하는 것이 첫 번째 중점시책으로서 이를 위해 빈집을 활용한 정주와 교류가 활발히 이루어질 수 있도록 주거 정보를 수집, 관리, 웹을 통해 제공하고 있으며, 농지 유동화 및 농림수산물의 직거래 시스템 확립에 주력하고 있다. 이 밖에도 UI턴자 확보를 위해 지역에서 살고, 일하고, 즐기는데 대한 일체적인 정보 제공 시스템을 마련하고 있으며, '고향교육'을 통해 지역에 대한 애착심을 기르는 동시에 지역에서의 취업 지향을 높이는데 힘쓰고 있다. 농촌 정주촉진을 위한 사업 내용면에서는 일본과 우리나라 간 큰 차이가 없다. 그러나 사업에의 의지와 방향 설정, 사업 추진체계 및 운영방식 등에서 발견되는 차이를 주시함으로써 농촌 지역 인구 증가에 보다 실질적으로 기여할 수 있는 정책으로 만들어가야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of the factors affecting the entry of depression by generations and to present a practical strategy for preventing of depression by life-cycle. For this purpose, we analyzed the factors influencing the depression of adults, middle-aged and elderly people through the discrete-time hazard model. The results of this study are as follows: First, the lower the self-esteem, the lower the income satisfaction and the family satisfaction people have, the higher the likelihood of entering the depression they have. In addition, age, educational level, health status, presence of chronic diseases, employment status, regional area, and leisure life satisfaction were variables that showed difference by generation. In the case of adulthood(aged 20 ~ 39), unemployed persons are more likely to enter the depression than younger workers. On the other hand, the middle-aged(40 ~ 64 year olds) are more likely to enter the depression if they are older, have poor health status, have no chronic disease, and have low leisure satisfaction. Finally, older people(aged 65 and over) are more likely to enter the depression when the education level is higher, the health condition is worse, and the leisure satisfaction is lower. If they lived in an urban and rural complex, they are more likely to enter the depression. Based on these results, it is necessary to establish a support plan reflecting the characteristics revealed by generations in order to prevent the entry of depression.

The purpose of this study is to provide policy recommendations for manpower planning by forecasting the supply and demand of Medical Technologists. Supply was estimated using an in-and-out movement method with a demographic method based on a baseline projection model. Demand was projected according to a demand-based method using the number of clinico-pathologic examinations taken for Medical Technologists. Over- or undersupply of Medical Technologists will depend on the productivity scenario and assumptions and ultimately on governmental policy direction. In other words, whether the production of Medical Technologists is higher or lower than the current level depends on the government policy to consider insurance finances. In this study, we assessed 'productivity scenario 3' based on the productivity as of 2012, when the government's policy direction was not considered. Based on the demand scenario using the ARIMA model, the supply of Medical Technologists is expected to be excessive. This oversupply accounts for less than 10% of the total and therefore should not be a big problem. However, given that the employment rate of Medical Technologists is 60%, it is necessary to consider policies to utilize the unemployed. These measures should expand the employment opportunities for the unemployed. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the functions of laboratories in the public health center, to increase the quota of Medical Technologists, to assure their status, to establish a permanent inspection system for outpatient patients, and to expand the export of Medical Technologists overseas.
