This study was conducted in order to assess the effect of variables influencing Korean baby-boomers' welfare consciousness. For this purpose, data from the $8^{th}$ supplementary survey of the Korea Welfare Panel in 2013 were analyzed. The subjects of analysis were 2,035 people who were born between 1955 and 1965 whose welfare panel data did not have missing values for the variables of the research model. According to the results of analysis, first, when the descriptive statistics of the major variables were analyzed, those showing a relatively high mean score among the sub-factors of the baby-boomers' welfare consciousness were 'expansion of expenditure for public assistance' (mean 3.65, SD .557), 'expansion of expenditure for social insurance' (mean 3.53, SD .646), and 'expansion of expenditure for social services' (mean 3.26, SD .424). The mean score of the baby-boomers' overall welfare consciousness was relatively high as 3.45 (SD .428), advocating the expansion of welfare expenditure. Second, the independent variables influencing the baby-boomers' welfare consciousness was found to have explanatory power of 12.9%. In the results of regression analysis, variables found to have a significant effect were gender (B=.100, t=2.573, p<.01), personal responsibility for poverty (B=-.151, t=-3.635, p<.01), social responsibility for poverty (B=.149, t=3.437, p<.001), and recipient's laziness (B=.251, t=6.578, p<.001). Based on these results were discussed major relevant policies.

The purpose of this study was to identify the factors determining the participation of the poor elderly in economic activity. This study analyzed secondary data of the second wave of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Binary logistic regression was used to identify the factors that are associated with the economic activity of the poor elderly. The results of the analyses showed that age, gender, region, public assistance, education, health status, chronic illness, contacts with acquaintances, and support from children were associated with participation in economic activity. The study's findings have several implications for policies and services. The study identified the need for an age- and gender-specific approach to promoting participation in economic activity among the poor elderly. Regional differences should also be considered in the creation of work opportunities for older adults. In terms of human capital, the positive effect of good health indicates that strategies are needed to address the needs of older adults with health issues. In addition, there is a need for more jobs for elderly job seekers with high levels of education. Finally, policy makers and practitioners should explore interventions for enhancing the social network involvement and community support for the elderly living in poverty.

본 연구는 내부노동시장 및 외부노동시장과 분절된 근로빈곤노동시장의 경로제약성이 취업과 취업의 질에 누적적인 영향을 미쳐, 장기간 근로빈곤노동시장에 머물게 함으로써 근로빈곤탈출을 저해하는 악순환의 고리가 되는지 분석하였다. 자료는 한국노동패널 $3{\sim}7$차이고, 분석방법은 Markov 이행확률과 이산시간분석을 활용하였다. 분석결과 우리나라 노동시장은 내부노동시장과 외부노동시장 그리고 근로빈곤노동시장의 삼중 구조로 이루어져 있었다. 근로빈곤유형은 최근으로 올수록 취업빈곤층은 계속 감소하는 반면, 비경활 빈곤층은 점점 증가하여 근로빈곤층의 주된 유형이 되었다. 근본적으로 빈곤층에 대한 노동수요가 부족하며, 빈곤층의 취업자체를 저해하는 노동시장의 구조적 장벽이 존재함을 볼 수 있다. 회귀분석에서는 근로빈곤노동시장 참여기간이 길어질수록 근로빈곤 이탈률이 감소하였다. 이는 한번 근로빈곤노동시장에 편입되면 그 굴레를 벗어나지 못하고 근로빈곤노동시장 내에서 폐쇄적으로 이동하여, 다시 빈곤으로 연결되는 악순환을 보여주는 것이다. 따라서 적절한 근로조건을 보장하는 노동수요 활성화정책과, 근본적인 노동시장구조 개혁 및 빈곤층 노동에 대한 부정적 사회인식과 차별완화 정책이 필요하다.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the determinants of the Operational Self-Sustainability (OSS) of Vietnamese microfinance institutions (MFIs). This research uses both qualitative and quantitative research methods: (i) qualitative research was via in-depth interviews with ten microfinance practitioners, policymakers and researchers; (ii) quantitative research was conducted by using panel data of 34 MFIs in the period 2011-2015 with binary logistics and OLS regressions. Results are as follows: (i) MFIs' OSS in Vietnam are mainly determined by five key factors: portfolio at risk (PAR>30), capital structure, gross loan portfolio, scope of activities and legal form; (ii) OSS are most affected by legal status (social organizations have better OSS than formal MFIs or programs/projects), location (MFIs focus in one province have higher OSS than working nationwide or just in one district), capital structure (MFIs with more equity proportion have higher OSS); (iii) surprisingly, average loan size per borrower and age of MFIs do not have statistically significant correlation with OSS. The key recommendations are: (i) MFIs should focus on its professionality and increase its equity; (ii) related stakeholders such as State Bank of Vietnam should promote the enabling ecosystem for microfinance development to enhance poverty reduction and economic development.

본 연구는 만19세 이상 34세 이하 청년의 현황을 살펴보고 청년의 빈곤 및 고용실태에 미치는 요인을 2012~2016년도 가계금융 복지조사를 이용하여 분석한다. 분석 결과 학생이거나 무직인 청년의 비율은 증가 추세를 보였고, 청년 집단의 경제적 상황은 혼인상태, 학력, 종사상지위, 대출 등에 따라 상이하였으며, 소득보장정책의 청년층 빈곤율 감소효과는 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 청년의 고용실태를 살펴보기 위해 종사상지위 및 저임금고용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하였다. 종사상지위에 대한 다항로짓분석 결과, 연령이나 교육연수가 높을수록 상용직 대비 임시 일용직에 종사할 확률이 낮아졌으나 이에 대한 여성과 남성 간의 차이는 확인되지 않았다. 청년 및 비청년 연령그룹을 대상으로 저임금고용 결정요인을 로짓분석한 결과, 여성일수록, 교육연수가 낮을수록, 가구주의 배우자나 자녀일수록, 임시 일용직 종사자일수록 저임금고용에 종사할 확률이 높았다. 특히 여성의 경우 연령층이 증가함에 따라 저임금고용에 처할 위험도 증가하고 있어 저임금고용의 고착화현상이 관찰되었다. 모든 연령집단에서 임시 일용직 종사자는 상용직에 비해 저임금고용에 처할 위험이 높았지만, 이는 젊은 연령층에서 더욱 크게 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 청년의 빈곤과 불안정고용의 문제를 포괄적으로 해결하기 위해서는 청년의 개인적 특성과 청년의 생애주기를 고려한 고용 및 사회보장정책을 기초로 양질의 일자리 공급이 지속적이고 안정적으로 이뤄져야 함을 제안하였다.

Both access to healthcare services and income security in case of personal illness are being needed to achieve universal health coverage, which is enshrined in the human rights to health and social security and international standards on social protection. Income security acts on both the social determinants and the adverse consequences of ill health and thus would break the vicious disease-poverty cycle. The government is supposed to implement a demonstration project of sickness benefit in 2022 and to publicize its more specific blueprint for all workers. This study is to suggest basic principles and a framework to design a new sickness benefit for universal health coverage, which is based on reviews on previous studies, related issues, and institutional conditions. This is to provide a theoretical basis to promote further discussion and to support its decision-making.

Background: Tobacco consumption has been identified as the single biggest cause of inequality in morbidity and mortality. Understanding pattern of socioeconomic equalities in tobacco consumption in India will help in designing targeted public health control measures. Materials and Methods: Nationally representative data from the India Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS) conducted in 2009-2010 was analyzed. The survey provided information on 69,030 respondents aged 15 years and above. Data were analyzed according to regions for estimating prevalence of current tobacco consumption (both smoking and smokeless) across wealth quintiles. Multiple logistic regression analysis predicted the impact of socioeconomic determinants on both forms of current tobacco consumption adjusting for other socio-demographic variables. Results: Trends of smoking and smokeless tobacco consumption across wealth quintiles were significant in different regions of India. Higher prevalence of smoking and smokeless tobacco consumption was observed in the medium wealth quintiles. Risk of tobacco consumption among the poorest compared to the richest quintile was 1.6 times higher for smoking and 3.1 times higher for smokeless forms. Declining odds ratios of both forms of tobacco consumption with rising education were visible across regions. Poverty was a strong predictor in north and south Indian region for smoking and in all regions for smokeless tobacco use. Conclusions: Poverty and poor education are strong risk factors for both forms of tobacco consumption in India. Public health policies, therefore, need to be targeted towards the poor and uneducated.

This paper develops the argument that the 'Healthy Cities Approach' extends beyond the boundaries of officially designated Healthy Cities and suggests that signs of it are evident much more widely in efforts to promote health in the United Kingdom and in national policy. It draws on examples from Leeds, a major city in the north of England. In particular, it suggests that efforts to improve population health need to focus on the wider determinants and that this requires a collaborative response involving a range of different sectors and the participation of the community. Inequality is recognised as a major issue and the need to identify areas of deprivation and direct resources towards these is emphasised. Childhood poverty is referred to and the importance of breaking cycles of deprivation. The role of the school is seen as important in contributing to health generally and the compatibility between Healthy Cities and Health Promoting Schools is noted. Not only can Health Promoting Schools improve the health of young people themselves they can also develop the skills, awareness and motivation to improve the health of the community. Using child pedestrian injury as an example, the paper argues that problems and their cause should not be conceived narrowly. The Healthy Cities movement has taught us that the response, if it is to be effective, should focus on the wider determinants and be adapted to local circumstances. Instead of simply attempting to change behaviour through traditional health education we need to ensure that the environment is healthy in itself and supports healthy behaviour. To achieve this we need to develop awareness, skills and motivation among policy makers, professionals and the community The 'New Health' education is proposed as a term to distinguish the type of health education which addresses these issues from more traditional forms.

Studies on the relation between socio-economic factors and metermal and child health have found that poverty, lack of edcation, inappropriate health serives are affecting to maternal and child health. The Gender Related Development Index (GDI) focuses on equality between men and women as well as on the average achiement of all people taken together, using same cariables as the Human Development Index (HDI) which are life expectancy, literacy rate, and per capita GDP. This research is to inverstigate whether HDI and GDI are useful determinants for maternal infant mortality. Using 146 UN member countries date, we condented multiple regression analysis for maternal and infant mortality with three models which are Model(individual variables-literacy rate, per capita GDP), Model(HDI) and Model(GDI). The results showed that HDI and GDI are powerful determinants of both maternal and infant mortality, respectively HDI($\beta$=-1.18, t=3.3; $\beta$=1.04, t=5.1) GDI($\beta$=-1.44, t=3.9; $\beta$=1.28, t=6.5) The higher power in model with GDI for both maternal and infant mortalities represented that GDI was more powerful determinant of maternal and infant mortality, than HDI respectively HDI($R^2$=0.824, $R^2$=0.842), GDI($R^2$=0.834, $R^2$=0.865). In conclusion, the maternal and infant mortalities are explained by GDI than HDI and may be lower in the societies where there are less discimination between men and women.
