Children of three-to-eighteen-years-old have been brought up in the institution (Orphanage) for several reasons such as family dissolution, divorce and poverty since the Korean Was of 1950. The Cottage, where these children are housed and brought up has dining room, library and bedrooms, plays as a significant social interaction place as well as study. Since the most facilities were built during the 1950-1960s period, most of the cottages are now in the condition of being rebuilt or remodelled. Because living space and studying space are mixed, it will be necessary to provide another studying space separated from living space. And then it will be also necessary to provide a space for play or rest between the two spaces. This study was conducted to obtain some basic data necessary for design of spaces in the orphanages by examining the relations between the studying activities of children and residence types.

본 연구는 고령사회에서 노인빈곤 극복을 위한 일자리가 필요하다고 보며, 이에 못지않게 노년기 적극적인 경제활동에 대한 참여 방안을 연구하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 법제도의 개선이 필요하다. 노인일자리사업의 확대를 제도적 지원과 더불어 노인에 대한 인식 개선, 전달체계 등의 인프라 강화가 요구되며, 이와 관련된 법적 근거가 필요하다. 이를 위해 노인을 대상으로 하는 직종을 우선적으로 선정하여야 하고, 정부에서는 법적인 절차가 마련되어야 한다. 둘째, 노인에 대한 사회적 배려와 지원이 있어야 한다. 정년연장은 노인취업을 높이는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 법제도의 정비와 아울러 사회적인 배려가 필요하다. 따라서, 사회적 합의가 없는 노인정책은 실패할 수밖에 없으므로 사회적인 지원을 이끌어 낼 수 있는 다양한 지원방법을 강구해야 한다. 셋째, 노인들은 빈곤의식과 자력갱생 의지가 있어야 한다. 노인은 노인 자신이 자녀를 비롯하여 주위와 사회적 지원만을 요구해서는 안 된다. 노인 스스로 경제주체가 될 수 있는 길을 모색할 수 있어야 한다. 그러기 위해서는 노인빈곤의식에 대한 기본적 인식이 필요하고 노인빈곤을 탈출하고자 하는 인식전환이 필요하다. 따라서, 노인 스스로 자력갱생하는 자세가 필요하며, 노인 스스로의 능력에 따른 일자리 선택에 나서야 한다. 결론적으로 노인일자리사업은 고령사회에서 노인빈곤을 해결하는 소득증대의 일환이며, 노인들의 적극적인 경제활동 참여가 요구된다.

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 were (1) to thumbnail sketch of present general condition of foreigners and international marriage in Korea, (2) to study special trend of international marriage in rural Korea, particularly immigration connected with poverty, and (3) to focus on prospect of the problem of mixed-bloods, especially half blood children in rural Korea. Many of foreigners were treated discriminatingly, for example racial discrimination and wage discrimination. And discrimination to mixed-blood children will be happen in future. They are in a disadvantageous position because of economic status and appearances. Half blood children have korean nationality because one of his parent is korean. When they grow up and reach their the age of puberty and the age of working, they will resist to discrimination in working and marriage. I had examined precedent studies, and class theory in general, and to suggest it is time to looking for way of reduce social cost and way of coexistence.

In recent years, behavioral disorders of young people and juvenile delinquency tend to increase remarkably in number, and closed up highly as a social and educational problems in Korea. It goes without saying that parents generally play important roles in children's development of personality, and the home is mostly responsible for juvenile delinquency. Therefore, first this paper describes a relation between broken family and juvenile delinquents. Burt, Shideler, Neumayer, and Glueck maintain that broken family is a cause of delinquency, on the other hand, Healy and Sutherland assume a critical attitude toward their contentions. Second, Breckinridge, Merril, and Glueck maintain that poor family is as cause of delinquency, while Sullenger, Neumayer, and Dirksen make a considerable point which poverty has no direct connection with delinquency. Third, abnormal family relationships namely, discord family, abnormal parent-child relationship, and immoral family exert a bad influence upon formation of personality, esepecialy during the period of preschool childhood. These results give some empirical support to the theory that children's conduct disorders and juvenile delinquency are caused by defective family relationships. It is necessary that a community has a supporting structure of children's wholesome development and the prevention of juvenile delinquency.

This study examined the childcare use pattern of the working mothers with preschool children and the factors affecting their use of multiple childcare. The 7th wave data of "Korea Welfare Panel Study" were analyzed for this study. The working mothers with preschool children were selected from the data set and a total of 292 working mothers were included in the analysis. More than 70% of the working mothers were using only one kind of childcare, mostly childcare center and kindergarten and 22.5% of the mothers were using more than two of childcare arrangements. Child factors, maternal factors, household factors, and economic factors were included in the hierarchical logistic regression model in the presented order to predict the use of multiple childcare. The results showed that the child's age and maternal education were positively related to the use of multiple childcare, while whether both parents live with the child, number of children within household, and the poverty status were negatively related to the use of it. Based on these results, we can confer that the main motive for multiple childcare use is to provide various experiences for their children.

The early childhood education in Korea has made a great progress during the last thirty years. However, understanding the early childhood education is a challenging task because of the diversity of the fields. Currently 38% of 3-5 year old children are enrolled in kindergarten. And several efforts to develop and distribute the standard curricula on a national level were underwent successfully. Researches are rapidly expanding in volume and the topics are becoming diverse. Focuses of researches moved from the area of cognitive development, science and mathematics in 80s, social and emotional aspects in 90s to language, curriculum and teacher education in 2000s. One of the emerging issues is the inclusion of kindergarten to public education system and free kindergarten education for young children. The second issues is more interdisciplinary policies are in need related to the low-birth rate in nation. The third one is about teacher training policy. The fourth one is related to the health, nutrition and safety of young children. And the fifth issue is moving educational system and policies that provide better future of young children while focusing on the children in low income families and children with absolute poverty.

The current study examined the effects of socio-demographic characteristics and peer relations on the emotional, behavioral, and comorbid disorder symptoms among low-low-SES children, using the Young Lives Survey: an International Study of Childhood Poverty: Round 1, 2002. Participants were 1,000 8-year-old children (502 boys and 498 girls) from low-low-SES families. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, t-tests, post hoc test (Scheffe's method), correlations, and multiple logistic regression analyses according to the analysis strategy. There was a moderate correlation between selected socio-demographic variables and emotional/behavioral disorder symptoms, and the caregiver's marital status, child's health compared to others, child's work status corresponded to significant differences in their emotional/behavior levels. Regarding the logistic regression analysis, in addition to the effects of socio-demographic variables reflecting the characteristics of less-developed countries, marital status, child's working status, and conflicts with peers proved to be detrimental to emotional, behavioral, or comorbid disorder symptoms in low-SES children, who have been lack quality parenting, social resources, and child human rights. Results indicated the need to develop health care services that would address those problems and appropriate intervention and prevention programs targeting children in low-income families. Moreover, careful assessment and intervention for child's health status, child's working status and peer relationship problems are suggested as possible strategies for helping children at risk of exhibiting further problematic behaviors.

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.
