It was found that the surrogate foster parent, tends to be older, received less education, has lower income, and is in poor health, as opposed to kin parents or general foster parents.

현대사회에서 내 집 마련은 가정의 안정적 유지를 위한 기본적 요소이다. 그러나 지난 5월 통계청에서 발표한 '1/4분기 가계수지 동향'을 기준으로 가계소득 329만 1,000원인 도시근로자가 대출이나 부모의 도움 없이 저축만으로 내 집을 마련하는데 걸리는 기간은 서울 25평 아파트 20년 9개월, 32평형은 27년 5개월 걸리는 것으로 집계됐다. 그렇다면 '사회복지'라는 커다란 영역안에는 어떠한 형태의 집들이 존재할까? 우리나가 거의 대부분의 사회복지기관, 시설들은 지방자치단체에 의해 법인에게 위탁, 임대되어지는 것이 대부분이다. 물론 국가가 법인직영의 반위탁 형태로 운영되는 곳도 있지만 아주 극소수이다. 우리나라 지역복지의 핵심 주체인 지역사회복지관의 경우(한국사회복지관협회, 2005) 사회복지법인 289개소, 재단법인 47갯, 사단법인 9개소, 학교법인 22개소, 지방자치단체 직영이 14개로, 거의 대부분의 복지관이 민간위탁으로 운영되고 있다. 대부분이 전세집살이를 하고 있는 것이다. 이번호에서는 이러한 민간위탁의 미흡한 제도와 과정에 대한 현장의 소리를 들업고자 한다.

This study is intended to look into parents' satisfaction of contracting-out system in employer-supported childcare centers. To achieve this, a survey was carried out to 400 parents who use national, public and private employer-supported childcare centers. The results were as follows. First, employer-supported childcare factors were the qualities of childcare environment, childcare program and early childhood teacher in both contracted-out and in-house services. The satisfaction with facility, program, operation and childcare training was improved in good employer-supported childcare factors And the satisfaction with the relationship between these factors could improve the expectation for the use of employer-supported childcare centers. Second, the difference in the operation of employer-supported childcare centers showed that the most preferred size was 50 to 74 children. The contracted-out services was more preferred than in-house services. And the location of on-the-job facility was more preferred than off-the-job facility. As stated above, the preference of employer-supported childcare centers was more raised than that of general kindergartens or childcare centers by an increase in the trend of working child parents' dual income. In other words, small and medium sized childcare centers of some 50 children were more preferred than large scaled childcare centers. Consequently, the retainment of childcare programs, facilities and quality teachers contracted out to professional childcare centers can improve the satisfaction with them.
