The purpose of this study is to investigate the economic deprivation of male-headed or female-headed households. Household having children under the age of 18 are categorized into three types according to the gender of household head: male-headed household, female-headed household, and dual-parents household. The findings from data, for this study came from the Korean Labor Panel Study in 2003. The analysis shows that the household's age, education, residence types, etc are key explanatory variables in determining whether to be in poverty. While the public income transfer is most effective in reducing poverty in female-headed households, the private income source is relatively more useful among male-headed families. Since single-household families are particularly at risk, public policy makers should pay special attentions to developing and expanding welfare-to-work programs which provides work incentives to overcome relative poverty and community networks on child care.

This study aims to examine the participation status and working conditions of seniors that participate in senior social activity support project, and analyze the influential relationship with subjective participation satisfaction based on participant attributes. In terms of the participation status, participating seniors became aware of the project through facilities and about 70% participated in the public interest type; the primary goal was for a short-term financial preservation. As an analysis result on participation effectiveness, longer participation period and time affected the participation seniors' working conditions and self-esteem negatively, implying that a flexible and effective operation of participation period is necessary. Also, while seniors with financial stability were more positively affected on their subjective satisfaction, other significant variables had negative effects. This study holds a significance in providing political implications as the basic data to improve and vitalize future senior social activity support project through the analysis of effectiveness, such as working conditions, self-esteem and subjective satisfaction based on participant attributes, including participant characteristics, participation status and participation degree.

This study investigated the mate selection preferences of single female teachers by investigating the desired traits in socioeconomic, physical attractions, psychological traits and family roles of their prospected marital partner, in order to explore the current trends in homogamous marriage. A questionnaire was distributed to 295 unmarried female teachers selected by convenience sampling from the various cities. The teachers pursued homogeneity in age, educational attainment, religion, and occupation while they preferred partners with higher income level. In terms of physical assets, the attraction that the teachers felt towards the partner was the most important physical appearances. The respondents preferred partners who are masculine and an androgynous partner. The teachers held high expectations towards their future spouses in that they desired to share the roles of emotional, financial support, child care and kin keeping. A partner who shared modern sex role attitudes was preferred over someone who held traditional one. The pursuit for overall homogeneity reflects that the teachers seek for equality in their relationships with prospected marital partners by exchanging similar characteristic.

In South Korea, few researches have been conducted into the incidence of injury diseases and into their demographic and sociologic characteristics. This research has estimated and analyzed the results of an questionnaire investigation carried out by the Korea medical panel (2008) and the social economic costs. In particular, an estimation has been conducted of social costs for each type of accident, injury and intoxication and of medical use for the injuries. For the future, it is necessary to develop concrete programs customized for age, education level, economic income and to continually implement injury prevention education, with a view to reducing the injury incidence and medical expenses; and also, individuals' participation in and social and national efforts are required for an efficient operation of the health insurance, for the purpose of reducing social and/or economic costs for injuries in South Korea.

Most advanced countries in GIS field have established and managed georeferenced socioeconomic data systematically and made a great profit on various social and economic areas. In Korea, however, socioeconomic geographical information is relatively poor compared to systems related to geographical and topographical features. This is mainly due to the characteristics of the process from the construction to the utilization of socioeconomic data. That is, from the stage of data construction, socioeconomic data require solutions for frequent changes compared to data on geographical and topographical features and, because of difficulties in marking the positions of individual entities, information is built up through setting appropriate spatial units of aggregation. In the stage of data utilization, the data often need to be combined with other types of socioeconomic data due to the complexity of socioeconomic phenomena. Thus, the this study examined usability of GIS in socioeconomic fields and the spatial dimension of socioeconomic information through representative cases of GIS in developed countries and, based on the results, derived data requirements for socioeconomic GIS found in the construction and utilization of data and proposed solutions for the requirements.

경제 불황으로 기업들의 구조조정이 가시화되면서 고용 축소와 청년실업이 늘어나면서 창업이나 경영을 통해 경제적 독립과 자아실현을 이루려는 창업가들이 점차 증가하고 있으며, 그에 따른 학계 연구의 필요성도 대두되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 연구 필요성에 따라 창업의도에 결정요인으로서 사회적 네트워크와 자아 효능감을 개인특성요인의 핵심변수로 설정하여 창업활동과 창업목표달성에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 본 연구를 위해 국내 창업가를 대상으로 208부를 분석에 이용하였다. 가설검증 결과, 사회적 네트워크의 강한 유대가 창업의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 창업활동에는 약한 유대가 영향을 나타나는 것으로 분석되었으며, Podolny와 Baron(1997) 네트워크의 특성에 따라 네트워크 강도의 효과가 달라질 수 있다는 주장과 일치하는 것을 발견 할 수 있었다. 또한 자아효능감은 창업활동보다 창업의도에 더 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 목표달성을 분석한 결과 창업의도보다 창업활동이 목표달성에 더 유의 한 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

기업활동의 범세계화(汎世界化), WTO 출범 등으로 세계경제(世界經濟)의 통합(統合)과 무국경화(無國境化)가 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 자본 고급인력 등 국제이동성(國際移動性)이 높은 자원들이 유동화(流動化)할 것이고, 그 결과 토지, 사회간접자본, 미숙련 노동력, '경기규칙', 사회 전반적인 과학기술수준, 문화 등 국제이동성(國際移動性)이 낮은 광의(廣義)의 생산요소(生産要素)들이 한 나라의 경제적 특성을 결정하고 경제 기반을 이룰 것이다. 무국경시대(無國境時代)에는 자원배분뿐 아니라 자원유치(資源幽致)가 한 나라의 경제성과에 큰 영향을 미칠 것이며, 따라서 자원유치가 경제운영의 중요한 과제로 등장할 것으로 예상된다. 자원의 국제적(國際的) 유동화(流動化)는 국제이동성(國際移動性)이 높은 생산요소들이 국제이동성이 낮은 생산요소들을 찾아 경제활동의 근거지를 선택하는 것이므로, 무국경시대(無國境時代)에는 저이동성(低移動性) 생산요소(生産要素)들의 양적(量的) 확충(擴充)및 질적(質的) 수준(水準) 제고(提高)를 통한 자원유치(資源誘致)의 가능성이 커지며, 따라서 일부 첨단기술산업의 육성보다는 전반적인 과학기술(科學技術) 수준(水準) 제고(提高)가, 소수의 고급인력 확보보다는 다수(多數) 미숙련(未熟練) 인력(人力)의 질적(質的) 수준(水準) 제고(提高)가 경제성과를 높이는 데 상대적으로 더 중요해진다. 또한 경제적(經濟的) 무국경화(無國境化)는 국적에 관한 속인주의(屬人主義)의 퇴조와 속지주의(屬地主義)의 보편화, 한 나라 국경 안에 상이한 특성을 가진 지방경제(地方經濟)들의 부상, 국내 산업들 사이의 산업연관관계(産業聯關關係) 약화(弱化) 등의 변화를 수반할 것으로 예상된다. 이같은 변화로 개방주의(開放主義) 및 무차별주의(無差別主義)의 확대(擴大)가 불가피하게 되고 특정 산업에 대한 정부지원 및 보호의 근거가 약화되는 반면, 자원배분의 참고단위로서 개별(個別) 경제주체(經濟主體)들의 중요성이 높아지며 그만큼 시장경쟁을 지배하는 '경기규칙(鏡技規則)'의 올바른 정립이 중요해진다. 그러므로 정부는 자원배분에 대한 개업을 축소하고, 저이동성(低移動性) 생산요소(生産要素)들의 양적 질적 수준 제고, 특히 '경기규칙(競技規則)'의 공정성(公正性) 및 투명성(透明性)을 높여야 한다. 즉 정부가 폐쇄성 높은 경제의 지배인으로부터 개방(開放)된 시장경제(市場經濟)의 후견인으로 바뀌어야 한다. 이것이, 시장질서(市場秩序)가 우리를 먹여 살리는 손이라는 인식이나 국제분업(國際分業)이 살 길이라는 확신이 부족한 우리 사회에 무국경시대(無國境時代)가 던지는 어려운 도전(挑戰)이다.
