Objective: This study aims to analyze parents' perception of the suitability of the 'Childcare Support Center (C.S.C.)' and the 'Early Childhood Education Promotion Institute(E.C.E.P.I)' as home care support service providers. Methods: The goals and content of the home parenting support service offered by the C.S.C. and E.C.E.P.I. were analyzes based on information collected from their websites, publications, and various promotional materials. There were categories into 18 services across 5 categories. Responses of 421 parents, gathered through a questionnaire developed with reference to previous studies, were collected and analyzed. Results: Parents reported high degree of suitability for the organizations they used. Those familiar with both institutions found E.C.E.P.I. more suitable overall. However the C.S.C. was considered particularity suitable by parents of children aged 0-2 years and by those with no prior experience with either institution. The perceived suitability of the two institutions varied by service, depending on factors such as the age group of the children, whether the parents lived in the metropolitan area, and whether they were part of a double-income household. Conclusion/Implications: These findings have practical implications for development of integrated policies for early childhood education and childcare, which should take into account parents' perceptions of the functions of institutions.

This study aims to analyze whether both childcare subsidy and childcare leave policies have moderating effects on the relationship between Korean women's value of children and their intentions for subsequent childbirth. The data are used from the 2015 National Survey on Fertility and Family Health and Welfare. Both hierarchical multiple regression analysis and moderated regression analysis are used for statistical analysis. The findings from the study are as follow. First, the ideal number of children, instrumental values, and emotional values have positive effects on the intentions for subsequent childbirth after controlling for background variables(level of education, income, age, and number of children). Second, childcare leave policy has no significant effect on the intentions for subsequent childbirth while childcare subsidy policy has the negative effect. Third, only childcare subsidy policy has moderating effects on the relationship between instrumental, emotional values, and the intentions for subsequent childbirth. These results suggest that policies enhancing the value of children should be implemented in addition to traditional birth rate policies. Furthermore, new birth rate polices are needed for those married women who have a high possibility of subsequent childbirth.

This study aims to analyze chlidcare philosophy and the architectural characteristics of communal childcare cooperative nurseries(parent cooperative childcare facilities), and also to examine their mutual relationship. The communal childcare cooperative is an ideal childcare method to break away from employee-supported childcare system and cooperatively solve childcare problems in the family community system. The child-rearing philosophy of the communal childcare can bring spontaneous and creative development amidst 'daily life' and 'play' by switching from knowledge and skill-oriented education and puts an emphasis on physical environments in child's growth. The features of architecture related the childcare philosophy derived from this study are as follows: the way of participation and self-help, the extension of spatial scope and focuses on outside space, architecture of house-like residence rather than educational facility, spatial 'overlapping' focusing on transitional space and multi-purpose space rather than spatial partitions, the pursuit of creativity through play is realized in the incompletion and unspecification of space evolving over time.

본고(本稿)에서는 고용구조조사(雇傭構造調査) 1986년 및 1992년 테이프를 활용하여 여성(女性)의 학력별(學歷別) 연령별(年齡別) 경제활동(經濟活動)및 실업(失業)과 취업구조(就業構造)에 대하여 분석하였는바, 여기서 확인된 우리나라 여성 고용문제는 크게 세가지로 요약할 수 있다. 첫째, 여성의 연령별 경제활동참가율이 중졸 이하 학력 여성의 경우 M자형(字型), 고졸 이상 학력 여성의 경우 단봉형(單峰型)으로 나타나 연령에 따라 큰 기복을 보이고 있다. 둘째, 여성 중에서도 고학력 고연령층(경제활동참가율과 고용률의 악화)과 저학력 저연령층(실업률의 증가)의 고용문제가 심화되고 있다. 셋째, 저학력 여성의 제조업(혹은 생산직) 취업이 고령화(高齡化)되고 서비스업 취업이 전통적 부문(도 매소 음식 숙박업)에 집중되고 있으며, 고학력 여성의 사회 개인서비스업, 관리 전문직, 파트타임 등에서의 취업이 활성화(活性化)되지 못하는 등 여성 취업구조(就業構造) 고도화(高度化)의 한계(限界)를 보이고 있다. 본고(本稿)에서는 이렇게 실증적으로 확인된 문제점들이 결국 우리나라 여성 대부분이 '생애직업경력(生涯職業經歷)(lifetime job career)'을 가지지 못하는 제도적(制度的) 문제점(問題點)으로 귀시(歸蓍)되는 것에 주목하고 이러한 제도적 문제를 해소하기 위한 제도(制度) 개선(改善)의 방향을 제시하고자 하였다. 여성 고용문제 해소를 위한 바람직한 '제도건설(制度建設)(institution building)'의 방향으로 본고에서는 (1)여성을 위한 고교 교육 및 직업훈련의 개편, (2)여성을 위한 전문대학 및 대학 교육의 개선, (3)여성을 위한 고용서비스의 강화, (4)출산 및 육아에 따른 여성 부담의 경감, (5)여성에 대한 고용주로서의 정부 역할 재정립 등을 강조하였다.

부모의 사회 활동 시간이 늘어남에 따라 아이들이 혼자 집에서 보내는 시간도 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 아이들의 자립심을 크게 제한하지 않으면서 노출되기 쉬운 실내 위험으로부터 아이들을 보호하고 아이의 심리, 감정적 상태에 따라 적절한 지도를 해주는 도움이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 RFID 기술을 기반으로 아이들을 물리적 위험으로부터 보호하고 자연언어처리 기술을 이용하여 아이의 심리, 감정 상태에 따른 음악과 애니메이션의 멀티미디어 콘텐츠를 제공한다. 또한 지속적인 관심이 필요한 일정 관리, 일상 생활에서 도움을 주는 전자제품 사용법 안내 등의 정보를 제공하여 아이 스스로 자신의 일을 할 수 있도록 도움을 준다. 본 연구에서는 가상의 가정을 디자인하여 실현 가능한 시나리오를 중심으로 이와 같은 서비스를 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 보인다.

For this study, we collected data of total 33 early childhood education experts, from August to October 2019. As a result of the study, first, the difficulties in early childhood creativity education were found to be 'Evaluation certification system (evaluation meeting)', 'Quality of teachers', 'Number of teachers to children', and 'Lack of definition and direction of creativity'. Second, as revitalization methods to active creativity education for early childhood, they answered with 'Establishment of infant-centered, play-centered curriculum considering on-the-ground characteristics', 'Securing the quality of teachers through their own efforts and supporting various policies', 'Autonomous and diverse program operation of early childhood education institutions', and 'Cooperation with parents'. Through this, it was possible to broadly understand difficulties and revitalization methods of early childhood education experts, and the results of this study can be used as basic data to prepare measures to improve and support in the field of creativity education in early childhood education in the future.
