The purpose of this study is to examine the motive of participating in the care work, the overall cognition survey for the care work and the infant care practice areas required in the care work for the child care helpers who activate in the care work, and search for methods of specializing infant care and care experiences on the results. Results of study showed that firstly, middle- or the late middle-age women participated in the care worker recognized care work as productive labor to create economic value and that secondly, the child care helpers' recognition degree of self-development and job satisfaction through performance of care work was wholly high level and that there was will of participation in training for self-development but actual participation rate was low due to restrictions by general conditions. Thirdly, the infant care practice areas and their particular contents that the child care helpers recognized in the care work necessary were highly shown in the whole. The requested level of education for safety management, play guidance, humanity guidance for infant and child was high. Point to discuss is that occupation stability and occupation image must be raised through the public job-hunting system for the child care helpers. In addition, a tailor-made education support suitable for the child care helpers' career stage is needed. Education support by the performance of infant care practice area and the educational requirements must be provided to major rearers to ensure that they can function as behavioral and emotional supporters. Finally, a support system for continuous self-management.

This paper examines the value of unpaid care work using the 2004 time use survey and compared them to economic measures such as GDP, tax revenue, value of paid work, government expenditure on care-related personnel expenditure and remuneration of paid care workers. It employs the mean earnings approach and generalist approach. It finds that the value of unpaid care work (compared to GDP) is between 18% and 29% using different approaches. The value of care of household members and for others in the community (person care) is between 5% and 8%. Furthermore, the value of unpaid care work is greater than that of direct tax regardless of the approach used. In addition, the value of person care is estimated at between 22% and 35% of the total value of the paid economy. The value of unpaid care work far exceeds the value of government expenditure on care-related personnel and the remuneration of paid care workers. This research suggests that unpaid care work (mostly conducted by women) should be recognized as part of production activities. This is because caring and household maintenance activities are necessary for individual well-being but also it contributes to the national economic competitiveness particularly through human resource development.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the nursing work environment and family satisfaction in Korean intensive care units (ICUs). Methods: The study participants were 190 critical care nurses and 133 family members of ICU patients who were randomly chosen from four of the hospitals located in B city. The Korean Nursing Work Environment Scale was used to assess the work environment of critical care nurses. Family satisfaction was measured with the Korean version of the Critical Care Family Needs Inventory. Results: Critical care nurses reported moderate satisfaction with their work environment. The mean score for family satisfaction was 3.59 on a 5-point scale, and satisfaction with information provision received the highest score. Family satisfaction was higher in hospitals where the critical care nurses evaluated their work environment positively. Conclusion: This study revealed that the work environment of nurses affects family satisfaction in ICUs. Therefore, it is necessary to explore various methods of improving the critical care nursing work environment in order to provide the highest possible level of nursing care.

Various family-friendly policies have been put into place for working mothers, but their paid and household workloads have not decreased. Many women have experienced career interruptions due to care work, so possible solutions to the problem of care work are needed. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of applying the social enterprise model to care work. Definitions, types, and development processes in social enterprise in several nations were discussed for the purpose of this study. Second, problems of care work in Korean households and national support for them are surveyed. Public institutions' contributions in child-care and family elder care and the alternatives for solving problems thereof were discussed. Third, several principles and advantages of applying social enterprise models to care work were suggested. Finally, this study discussed what a healthy family support center can do to reduce the workload of a household through social enterprises. This center can be a testing place that supports care work by various means from small volunteering groups to social enterprise according to profit level.

돌봄노동의 사회화는 다섯 가지 유형으로 구분할 수 있다. 어떤 방식의 사회화는 돌봄서비스의 생산을 주로 민간시장에 의존하게 만듦으로서, 돌봄노동의 상품화(또는 시장화)를 촉진할 가능성이 매우 높다. 또 다른 특정한 방식의 사회화는 돌봄의 역할을 결국 다시 가족, 그 중에서도 여성에게 부여하여 돌봄노동의 재가족화를 낳는다. 한 사회가 가지고 있는 돌봄노동의 성격은 여성의 임금노동 접근권과 일자리의 질에 영향을 미친다. 돌봄노동의 재가족화는 돌봄에 대한 국가개입이 주로 현금지급 중심으로 이루어지는지, 현물급여(서비스)의 제공에 초점이 두어지는지에 따라 결정된다. 돌봄 관련 수당제도는 여성의 노동공급에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었고, 특히나 이러한 영향은 소득계층별로 달리 나타날 수 있음에 주목하였다. 즉, 돌봄 관련 수당제도는 저소득층 여성의 노동공급을 줄일 가능성이 더 클 것으로 예측할 수 있다. 돌봄노동의 상품화는 돌봄서비스 일자리의 질을 악화시킨다. 돌봄서비스 제공에 있어서는 전달체계의 기본적인 틀이 공공화 되어 있는 국가들은 시장화되어 있는 국가들에 비하여 돌봄서비스 일자리의 임금수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 전반적인 여성노동자의 근로조건 향상에도 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다.

경제적, 사회적, 인구학적 변화에 따라 전세계적으로 돌봄노동의 규모와 중요성은 상당히 커졌다. 그에 따라 한국을 포함한 많은 나라들에서 돌봄노동자는 노동력을 구성하는 의미있는 부분으로 자리잡게 되었다. 그러나 여전히 돌봄노동은 다른 노동에 비해 임금수준이 낮고 열악한 노동으로 평가되고 있다. 이 연구는 한국 돌봄노동의 실태를 조망하고, 성향점수매칭법을 통해 임금불이익을 실증적으로 추정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 돌봄노동에 대한 실태분석을 통해 돌봄직업이 학력, 연령, 근속기간과 관련하여 위계화되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 성향점수 매칭법을 활용하여 돌봄노동의 임금불이익을 추정한 결과, 돌봄직업 근로자는 다른 직업 근로자보다 시간당 임금수준이 9.2% 낮음을 확인할 수 있었다. 돌봄노동조건의 열악함과 임금불이익은 사회서비스 확대와 관련하여 우선적으로 해결해야할 과제이다. 적절한 보상체계 없는 돌봄노동의 안정적 재생산은 어려우며, 사회서비스의 원활한 공급과 적절한 질 유지 또한 불가능하기 때문이다.

This study analysed the effect of mothers' work status on time use in child care and use of market child care services. There were two major questions: Do self-employed (and family worker without being paid) mothers have a flexible work schedule and so can they care her child(ren) well? If it is true, is the work status as self-employee related to non-market child care services? To answer these questions, 1,196 samples were selected from the Time Use Data of 1999, which had been administered by Korea National Statistical Office. Major results were as follows: First, a mother who is family workers without being paid made time to care children frequently more than wage earners. Second, according to regression analysis, mothers' work status was one of the important variables to explain child care activity frequency. Third, among categories of child caring ('physical caring', 'non-physical caring', and 'caring of the others'), mothers spent more frequently in 'caring of the others', and had higher probability to use market child care services. But the more frequently a mother made time in 'non-physical caring' for her child, the lower probability to choose market child care services. In conclusion, it was certain that self-employed mothers benefit from a flexible time schedule at work places. But the relationship of child care activity frequency with use of market child care services was inconsistent.

Purpose: The study examined core job characteristics and job preference to explain work performance among critical care nurses. The theoretical model was constructed based on the job characteristics model with core job characteristics as exogenous variables, and work performance and job preference as endogenous variables. Methods: A total of 228 hospital nurses participated in the study from May to September, 2015. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: The model showed a good fit to the data with $x^2/df=2.90$, goodness of fit index = .91, root mean square residual = .20, comparative fit index = .93, and incremental fit index = .93. The core job characteristics explained 64% of the variance in job preference. The core job characteristics and job preference explained 52% of the variance in work performance. Conclusions: The core job characteristics can explain the work performance among critical care nurses through job preference. Effective strategies to improve the work performance among critical care nurses should focus on the application of the core job characteristic into a productive work environment. Further studies are warranted to explore the role of job preference of critical care nurses in promoting their work performance.
