In particular, it examined the influence of home environment and child characteristics upon children's school readiness with a focus on attitudes towards and other socio-emotional aspects. 57 children's characteristics, including such items as IQ performance and demographic variables were obtained by means of both individual testing of the child and through a questionnaire given to their parents. Relative levels of school readiness were then rated by teachers. Pearson correlations, and a multiple regression analysis were carried out using the SPSS Win 12.0 program. Our results indicated that (1) school readiness was positively related with mother's job, HOME, the ages of the children, Performance IQ, and Total IQ. (2) The level of the other's education, her job and the child's age was found to significantly predict the level of school readiness.

This study is to describl the child care system in Sweden and to understand how the progressive child care system has been developed. The sex categories of the child care issues were studied based on a review of the literature related to the Swedish child care, family welfare system and the socio-economic information on Sweden. Six categories were : (1) historical and socio-economic background of child care system, (2) supply of and demand for the child care service and the types of public and private child care, (3) child care program activities, (4) child care staff training system, (5) administration and financial support system for the child care, and (6) the family policy and the family support programs in Sweden. For the Korean child care system, this study on the Swedish child care implied that : (1) To provide a progressive system of the child care system in Korea will require serious discussion about concentration of the child care administration system which is currently distributed to Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health and Welfare. (2) The extensive family support programs such as the parental leave and flexible work conditions for women are needed for the infant care by parents at home. (3) to expand the child care services in Korea, public support should be primarily focused on the supply of the public day care centers even though the demands for the various child care services are to be met by public financial support. (4) Most of all, societal recognition that all children are the resposiblity of our society is needed to develop a progressive child care system in Korea.

본 논문은 OECD 주요 선진국의 출산율 및 가족복지정책의 변화와 특성을 검토해 보고, 가족복지 유형별 출산율을 비교 분석해 본 후, 한국의 가족복지정책 마련에 도움이 될 수 있는 시사점을 탐색해 보았다. OECD 주요 선진국의 출산율은 1970년대에 인구대체수준 이하로 떨어졌으며, 그 이후에도 완만하게 출산율이 감소했으나, 1990년대에는 출산율이 낮아지는 국가들과 높아지는 국가들로 나누어진다. 이러한 출산율 변화 차이는 1970년대 이후 각국이 채택 추진한 가족복지정책과 상당한 관계를 갖고 있음을 암시해 주고 있다. 주요 선진국들은 1970년대 이후 출산율 감소에 관심을 갖고 인구관련 문제를 종합적으로 다루기 위해 범정부차원의 인구관련기관을 설립했으며, 가족복지 지원수준을 높여왔다. 그러나 각국의 가족복지 지원수준과 지원형태(노동중심 또는 양육중심)는 해당국가의 정치적 이념, 문화 역사적 배경, 경제환경 등에 따라 다르게 발전되어 왔다. OECD 주요 국가들의 가족복지정책을 유사한 특성을 가진 국가군으로 유형화하여 유형별 출산율을 비교해 본 결과, 가족복지 지원수준이 높을수록, 양육중심에 비해 노동중심 지원수준 비중이 높을수록 출산율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유형별 출산율 변화를 비교해 본 결과에서도 가족복지 지원수준이 높을수록, 양육중심에 비해 노동중심 지원수준 비중이 높을수록 출산율이 증가하거나 출산율 감소가 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 주요 선진국의 출산율과 가족복지정책 분석을 통해 얻을 수 있는 시사점으로는, 첫째 출산율 및 인구관련 문제를 체계적으로 연구하여 종합적인 대안을 제공해 줄 수 있는 범정부차원의 인구관련기관을 설립할 필요가 있으며, 둘째 가족수당 신설, 출산휴가와 육아휴직의 기간 연장 및 육아휴직급여의 상향조정, 공보육시설 확대 등 가족지원체계를 확대해야 하고, 셋째 양육중심(가족수당 등) 지원수준 보다 노동중심(아동보육시설, 출산휴가 등) 지원수준에 비중을 많이 둘 필요가 있고, 넷째 사회구성원, 특히 청년층에게 자녀를 기르는 것이 어렵지 않으며 행복을 가져다준다는 희망을 갖도록 하는 사회환경을 조성할 필요가 있다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the longitudinal relationship between child maltreatment and adolescent suicidal ideation. Several studies suggest that child maltreatment is associated with adolescent suicidal ideation. However, these studies have not focused on the duration of child maltreatment. Methods: Participants were 420 adolescents (52.6% male; 47.4% female) involved in the Korea Welfare Panel Study. Data were collected via youth self-report in 2006, 2009, and 2012. A self-report assessment of children and youths' experiences of physical, emotional, or neglect had been surveyed longitudinally. Questionnaires on adolescent suicidal ideation were answered in 2012. A growth mixture model and multiple regression were conducted using Mplus 5.21. Results: The study results showed that 93.5% of the children had experienced no maltreatment; 6.5% had experienced increasing maltreatment longitudinally. The trajectory of increasing maltreatment was positively associated with adolescent suicidal ideation. Conclusion: These results show that children suffering from chronic maltreatment are subject to a high risk of suicide and therefore require continuous supervision and management.

This study examines the effects of parent-child attachment across the child's life from a life-span developmental perspective. The study investigates the effects of a child's attachment to his or her mother in childhood on his or her school attachment as an adult student and explores the role of self-esteem as a mediator of the relationship between these two variables. A total of 529 S Cyber University students taking social welfare classes participated in this study. These students completed a questionnaire about their present level of self-esteem, attachment to their mother in childhood, and school adjustment. According to the SEM results, adult students' self-esteem fully mediated the relationship between their mother-child attachment in childhood and their school adjustment in adulthood. Attachment security for the mother in childhood was related to the child's own internal working model, and positive self-esteem was related to school adjustment.
