사회복지 분야는 정부가 개입해야 하는 대표적인 정책영역이나, 공공성을 강조하면서, 시장기능을 전혀 고려하지 않는 정부개입은 정부실패라는 왜곡을 발생시킨다. 사회복지 서비스는 공공재라기 보다는 가치재로서, 사유재 성격을 가지므로 정부와 시장역할에 대한 균형된 시각이 필요하다. 시장실패와 함께 정부실패라는 경제적 왜곡현상을 동시에 고려하면서, 정부와 시장의 최적역할분담이 이루어져야 한다. 보육정책의 방향은 공공성이 높으므로, 정부가 주도가 되어 모든 국민들에게 똑같은 보육서비스를 공급하는 것이다. 획일적인 보육서비스 질을 정부재원의 확대로서 높이려는 정책방향은 필연적으로 정부실패라는 왜곡을 발생시킨다. 현재 많은 전문가들이 지적하는 민간부문의 보육서비스 질이 낮은 근본원인은 시장규제에 있다. 즉 영리법인의 시장진입을 금지하고, 가격을 규제하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 보육서비스 질을 높이기 위해서는 보육시장의 정부규제를 철폐해야 한다. 보육시장에 대한 규제 철폐없이 모든 국민들을 대상으로 한 보육재정의 확대는 재정의 낭비를 초래하게 된다. 보육정책의 바람직한 방향은 정부와 시장의 역할분담을 통해서이다. 보육서비스의 외부 불경제 효과가 높은 만큼, 시장에서 충족시키지 못하는 일정소득 이하 계층에 대한 보육서비스는 정부에서 무상으로 제공해야 한다. 그러나 일정소득 수준이상의 계층에게는 다양한 수요가 시장기능에 의해 해결될 수 있도록 해야 한다. 시장실패의 논리와 함께 정부실패라는 왜곡의 심각성을 인식하고, 정부와 시장기능에 대한 최적의 역할분담이 이루어져야 한다.

It is becoming common that the lack of child care due to changes in social structure and family function should be serviced at society and at the national level. Interest in child care services in child care facilities also increased.

This paper was based on the answers of the BI(Business Incubating) managers who had been working in the business incubating field. The main purpose of this research was to figure out working conditions of those managers and to find out proper solutions. The result of the research was as follows. Overall economic rewards for those managers were relatively low level, job conditions for those managers were short-time contract-basis and those managers' ages were relatively young, 20s or 30s, and majority of the managers' working experience was usually less than 3years. Also some of the full-time managers were spending much of their working time in administration affairs rather than practical business incubating or business incubating consulting service. Therefore, the satisfaction level for their salary and working condition was quite unsatisfactory and they didn't have positive vision for their job and for their business consulting service. As a result to resolve those negative affects and to promote overall working for those BI managers, authorized certificates are necessary for those BI managers. Then they can specialize BI managing works and can improve their working conditions by blocking non -certified workers and can advance the quality of their consulting service.

South Korea has strengthened the eligibility criteria for childcare teachers while amending the Infant Care Act in January 2005 in order to improve the quality of childcare services. Since then, there was a change in the legal basis related to childcare staff such as introduction of national certification of childcare center directors, name change, strengthened qualification standards for directors and teachers, training system maintenance and repair, strengthened credit standards of teachers' care related qualification courses, and maintenance provisions of continuing education nursery teacher qualifications. And that is because childcare staff are closely related to the quality of childcare, and a very important variable who has direct influence on infants. This study, through literature research and analysis, describes the status and development direction of childcare staff. This study covers three main aspects. First, the relevant historical flow was reviewed and the concepts of the role, expertise, and legal status of childcare staff were investigated. Second, staff training institutions, emissions certification, employment, and the status of treatment were investigated. Third, development direction for the training system, eligibility criteria, continuing education and its training system, and treatment improvement were proposed.

The purposes of this study were to examine the perception of directors and child care providers regarding the Seoul-type Child Care Accreditation and its operating system. The objects were 309 directors and child care providers at accredited Seoul-type child care centers. The collected data was analyzed using frequency, percentiles, and ${\chi}^2$. The results are as follows: First, the majority of directors and child care providers perceived 'the preparation for effective quality control of child-care service' as the primary purpose of the Seoul-type Child Care Accreditation. Many of them responded that the child care centers meeting the purpose of accreditation would be 'private' and 'home-based' ones. Seoul-type Child Care Accreditation was easier to pass compared to National Child Care Accreditation. The directors and child care providers perceived that the accreditation will narrow the gap between public and private child care centers. Second, in operating customized child-care service, most directors preferred 'submits only the same plan as that of a designated one', but most child care providers preferred 'assessment after providing customized child-care'. For the reliable child-care service and accounting management system, both subject groups showed general satisfaction with 'current system'. Third, both subject groups responded that 'overtime pay for child care providers' and 'government's consistent child-care policy' were what they desire most to improve Seoul-type Child Care Accreditation.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the justification for social recognition of childcare staff through a review of Axel Honneth's recognition theory of childcare staff's caring work, the Constitution, the Infant Care Act, and the National Human Rights Commission Act. As a result of the study, first, the poor working environment of childcare staff was confirmed. Despite the continuous intervention of childcare policies to improve the working environment of childcare teachers, poor working conditions such as annual/monthly vacation and rest time guarantee were confirmed. Second, the human rights violations of childcare staff were confirmed. The installation of CCTV installed to prevent child abuse in childcare institutions confirmed not only the human rights violations of childcare staff but also the psychological pressure of childcare staff who are monitored 24 hours a day. Third, this study has significance in that it suggests the justification for social recognition of childcare staff through revision and supplementation of the current law for appropriate performance evaluation of childcare.
