This study aims to clarify the relationship between family policy and children's quality of life through an international comparison and to determine which family policy factors contribute to children's quality of life. The research question is "How can family policies be combined to improve children's quality of life in terms of health and economy?" It includes nine categories of family policies related to money, service, and leave. Measures of children's quality of life include low birth weight, infant mortality, and child poverty. Using the OECD Family Database, and the OECD Child Well-being Data, fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparison Analysis (fsQCA) was used among 20 OECD countries. Combinations of family policies significant to the children's quality of life were derived from the results. This study contributes to the literature by revealing the effectiveness of states' investment in family policy. In addition, the study indicates that since family policies interact with each other, those policies combine to improve children's quality of life.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how children from low-income families perceived their family strength, ego-resilience and school adjustment. The relative magnitude of effects of family strength, ego-resilience and school adjustment were compared. Data were collected from 217 children in grade 4 through 6 who were attending local child welfare centers located in Seoul, Korea. The key research findings were as follows. Ego-resilience and perceived family strength were related to school adjustment among children in poverty. The relatively greater effect of ego-resilience implied that programs for children in poverty need to focus on developing interpersonal relationship skills or coping strategies designed to enable children from disadvantaged environments to deal with stressful events and to promote their ego-resilience. Additionally, the recovery or enhancement of family strength and ego-resilience will be effective at protecting and solving various adaptive problems that children from low-income families may experience at school.

To improve family well-being of single-parents, the utilization of familial social resources-including formal supports, informal supports, and social capital-has become one of the most important family resource management issues. The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of familial social resources of single-parent households with those of two-parent households and to investigate the differences according to three factors, specifically poverty, family types by gender and age of parent, and householders' employment. In addition, the determinants of single-parent households' wellbeing were analyzed from two perspectives: economic wellbeing and psychological life satisfaction. Data from the 5th wave of the Korean Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS) were used. The major findings were as follows. First, single-parent households utilized their familial social resources more actively than their counterparts, especially in terms of the formal support of child care. Second, single parent households utilized their familial social resources differently in relation to poverty, family types, and parents' employment. Third, the determinants of economic wellbeing and psychological life satisfaction were different according types of familial social resources. Based on these empirical results, policy implications for the future economic wellbeing of baby boomers were provided.

Purpose: From the holistic environmental perspective, individual and environmental influences on low-income children's questionable development were identified and examined as to differences in the influences according to the child's developmental stage of infancy (age 0-35 months) or early childhood (age 36-71 months). Methods: This study was a cross-sectional comparative design using negative binominal regression analysis to identify predictors of questionable development separately for each developmental stage. The sample was comprised of 952 children (357 in infancy and 495 in early childhood) from low-income families in South Korea. Predictors included individual factors: child's age and gender; proximal environmental influences: family factors (family health conditions, primary caregiver, child-caregiver relationship, depression in primary caregiver) and institution factors (daycare enrollment, days per week in daycare); and distal environmental influences: income/resources factors (family income, personal resources and social resources); and community factors (perceived child-rearing environment). The outcome variable was questionable development. Results: Significant contributors to questionable development in the infancy group were age, family health conditions, and personal resources; in the early childhood group, significant contributors were gender, family health conditions, grandparent as a primary caregiver, child-caregiver relationships, daycare enrollment, and personal resources. Conclusion: Factors influencing children's questionable development may vary by developmental stage. It is important to consider differences in individual and environmental influences when developing targeted interventions to ensure that children attain their optimal developmental goals at each developmental stage. Understanding this may lead nursing professionals to design more effective preventive interventions for low-income children.

목적 연구의 목적은 빈곤가정아동의 문제행동과 비만도의 발생양상을 밝히고 그 관계를 규명하는 것이다. 방법 인천지역 22개의 지역아동센터의 차상위계층과 기초생활수급자 가정의 초등학교 4-6학년 아동 197명을 대상으로 신체검진과, 아동이 직접 아동문제행동검사(K-BASC2)를 수행하였으며, 자료분석은 SPSS17.0을 이용하여 빈도분석과, Mann-Whitney test, Kruskal-Wallis test를 실시하였다. 결과 신체계측결과 중등도이상비만이 9.6%이었다. 문제행동에서는 내면화문제의 위험군이상은 8.6%, 주의력결핍/과잉행동문제 위험군 이상은 22.8%, 학교문제의 위험군은 33.8%, 적응기술에서 49%가 위험군 이상이었다. 이는 2012년 교육과학기술부에서 우리나라 전국초등학생을 대상으로 실시한 정서행동선별검사보다 매우 높은 비율이었다. 성별에 따른 문제행동의 결과는 모든 영역에서 남학생에서 높은 비율이었다. 비만도에 따른 문제행동의 결과는 학교문제와 정서지표에서 비만도 그룹간 차이가 유의한 결과를 보였다. 결론 빈곤가정아동을 대상으로 현재의 학교 체계 안에서 이루어지는 검진시스템보다 더 자주, 주기적으로 점검되어야 하며, 특히 정신, 행동문제의 조기발견과 심각한 질환으로 발전하기 전에 아동 일대일 맞춤치료와 지속적인 상담, 간호중재가 절실히 필요하다. 특히 빈곤가정의 비만한 아동은 정신건강의 스트레스를 많이 받는 만큼, 이 아동들을 질병발생의 위험군으로 선정하고 조기발견, 예방중재, 치료적 상담의 시스템을 아동에게 적용해야 할 필요가 있다.

2009년 7월부터 도입된 양육수당은 보육시설을 이용하지 않고 가정 내에서 양육되는 아동에 대한 형평성 차원에서 양육수당이 제공되는 것으로 보육시설을 이용하지 않는 국민기초생활수급자와 차상위 계층 2세 미만 영아에 대해 월 10만 원을 아동양육수당으로 제공하면서 시작되었다. 그러나 2013년에는 소득에 관계없이 만 0~2세의 아동을 대상으로 만 0세 20만 원, 만 1세 15만 원, 만 2~5세 10만 원의 지원금을 제공하기로 개정되었다. 2013년의 이러한 정책변화는 전년도인 2012년의 양육수당 정책과 비교해 볼 때, 760%의 재정 증액이 이루어진 것으로 그 지원의 확대 정도가 이례적으로 매우 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 양육수당의 급격한 확대에 주목하며 양육수당 정책형성과정에 대한 정책네트워크 분석을 시도하였다. 분석 결과, 지방선거, 총선 및 대선이 정책형성 과정 행위자들의 상호작용 및 네트워크 구조 등에 즉각적인 영향을 주었는데, 즉 정당 행위자들은 양육수당의 확대가 정당 행위자들의 이익(선거결과)에 직접적인 영향을 준다고 판단하고 있었다. 이러한 정책경쟁 과정에서 정부부처들과의 예산과 관련된 갈등은 오히려 논의를 다양화시켜 양육수당 논의는 활성화 되었다. 또한 총선 이후 새누리당의 공약에서 시작된 양육수당의 확대는 비슷한 복지 공약 등을 내세운 박근혜 후보가 대통령에 당선되면서 구체적으로 정책채택 단계로 접어들어 정책형성과정과 정책채택과의 밀접한 관계도 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the ecological factors influencing school adjustment of adolescents from low-income families. Methods: Secondary data analysis was performed using data of 1,321 low-income adolescents in 123 regions found on the Survey on Service Satisfaction with Community Child Care Center. Results: The results of multi-level analysis identified the factors influencing school adjustment of low-income adolescents as follows: individual-level factors were gender, grade in school, and emotional problem; an interpersonal-level factor was family structure; organizational-level factors were length of time attending center and satisfaction with the service of the center; community-level factors were region and perception of community. Conclusion: The results suggest that low-income adolescents' adjustment to school is influenced not only by individual factors but also by diverse environmental factors. Community factors suggest that more education support systems and leisure facilities for adolescents need to be built in small and medium cities. Strategies to enhance positive perception of community are also needed for this population. Further, it is necessary to develop multi-level interventions to improve the school adjustment of adolescents from vulnerable social groups.
