The pre-elderly approaching old age in our society confront having a harsh economic status. The main purpose of this study was to explore the factors influencing the preparation of the pre-elderly for overcoming this status. In particular, it focused on financially stable pre-elderly persons. The data from the 2008 Chungcheongnam-do Welfare Plan for Five Years collected by the Chungnam Women's Policy Development Institute was used to analyze the research questions. The participants in this study included 735 persons (ages 55-64) living in Chungcheongnam-do. Five hundred and eighty-one self-reported questionnaires were used for the final analysis using SAS, version 9.1. This study attempted to identify the important variables needed to find the factors related to socio-demographic and economic characteristics, the adult-child relationship, the preparation plan for old age, etc. The results showed that job and health status were key to preparation for financial stability among the elderly. Another finding was the importance of concrete financial planning for the elderly; that is to say, the pre-elderly who made more concrete plans than indefinite ones were likely to belong to stable households. Another significant finding was that it is important to consider both objective and subjective factors for the financial preparation of the elderly. These results should serve as reference data for the future welfare policy for the elderly, because the financial independence of the elderly will be vital for a healthy relationship between new and old generations.

The Korean government implemented better support for adolescent single-parent families by expanding the coverage of the Single-parent Family Support Act in 2010. In order to understand the effect, this study verified the moderating effect of the single-parent family policy's support for child rearing in the context of adolescent female single-parent's stress levels and education sustainability. This study utilized part of the National Youth Policy Institute's 'Research on the Actual Condition of the Adolescent Pregnancy, Birth and Rearing Children'. Participants of the study were 248 adolescent single-parents aged 24 and below. The findings and discussion of this study are as follows. First, the stress level of adolescent female single-parent in continuing studies was lower than those for discontinued studies. Students who discontinued their education in the middle of studies showed an increase in life stress level relative to age because they had a low level of education and had discontinued studies before pregnancy. Second, the public nanny service has been verified as an element to increase the continuation of education by controlling the level of stress. It is advisable to fortify and expand the scope of support for childcare services in the form of a study assistant or child education assistant. Last, adolescent single-parent childcare subsidies have been verified as a direct factor that raised the meaningful level of education continuity potential to a meaningful standard that can be seen as a more effective method than general policy support for single-parent families.

에스핑앤더슨으로 촉발된 복지국가에 대한 연구가 유형화 논의를 통해 학문적으로 발전하는 가운데 동아시아 국가들의 급속한 경제성장에 관한 연구는 복지국가 유형화 논의시기와 맞물리면서 1990년대 후반부터는 '동아시아복지국가'에 대한 연구로 발전하기 시작하였다. 국내외에서 이루어진 이러한 연구들은 동아시아복지국가의 유형 및 개별 복지국가의 성격 규명, 더 나아가 기존의 국제복지국가 비교연구의 학문적 발전에도 크게 기여하였다. 다만, 서구 복지국가의 이론적 논의에 근거해 비교적 단시간 내에 많은 수의 동아시아복지국가 비교연구가 생산된 반면 동아시아복지국가 및 복지체제의 개념 및 정의 자체에 대해서는 충분히 다뤄지지 못한 아쉬움이 있다. 본 연구는 변수화 및 지표의 비교에 다소 치우쳐져있던 동아시아복지국가 논의에서 개념적 논의의 중요성 및 그 유용성을 강조하여 연구방법론적 기여를 하고자 한다. 이에 따라, 본 논문은 먼저 개념구조 및 집합이론을 논하고, 비교사회정책연구에서 집합이론을 활용한 개념화방법들을 소개한다. 이어서 복지국가 연구에서 유용하게 채용될 수 있는 기능적 등가물(functional equivalence)에 대해 논하고 이를 바탕으로 현재까지의 동아시아복지국가 연구를 비판적으로 검토한다. 마지막으로 앞서 설명한 개념구조들 및 집합이론을 활용하여, 동아시아복지국가 비교연구의 개념화작업 단계에서 기능적 등가물 개념을 채용할 수 있는 방안들을 제안한다.

도박은 우리 사회에 상당히 만연되어 있으며 이로 인한 가족문제 역시 심각하다. 사회복지적 차원에서 도박에 대한 대책 및 개입프로그램 마련을 위해서 가장 시급한 일이 도박에 관한 기초조사이다. 이런 점에서 본 연구는 충청지역에서 돈내기 게임의 현황 및 병적 도박자의 비율을 파악하며, 가족관계의 다양한 측면에서 병적 도박 집단과 일반 집단 간에는 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하는 서베이 연구이다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 돈내기 게임의 현황을 알아볼 때, 화투를 가장 많이 하며, 계절을 가리지 않거나 겨울에 많이 하고, 명절이나 친구모임에서 많이 하며, 반 이상이 일년에 몇 번 정도 하지만 1/5은 한달에 한두 번 이상하고 있다. 상대는 가족/친척, 친구가 가장 많으며, 장소는 친척집, 자기집, 음식점의 순이고, 시작한 시기는 60%가 20대나 30대로 나타났다. 병적 도박자는 본 연구표본의 11.6%이며, 남성이 여성보다, 농어촌지역 거주자가 도시지역 거주자보다 유의미하게 더 많은 비율을 차지하친 있다. 가족생활의 다양한 측면, 즉 결혼만족도, 가족관계, 가족폭력, 중독에 대한 가족력, 가족여가활동에 있어서 병적도박 집단이 일반 집단보다 가족문제를 유의미하게 더 많이 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상과 같은 결과에 근거하여, 제언은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농어촌 지역에, 특히 농한기에 도박대책이 시급하다. 둘째, 교우관계나 사회생활의 수단으로서 도박이 아닌 다른 건전한 활동이 보급되어야 하며, 이는 특히 남성에게 더욱 필요하다. 셋째, 병적도박 집단의 가족 문제에 대한 가족교육 및 가족상담치료 프로그램의 개발과 시행이 시급하다. 넷째, 도박에 대한 예방교육과 치료프로그램 마련을 위안 제도적 장치가 요구된다.

This study focuses on changes in a father's role from one that is work-centered to a work-family balance, analyzing the type of father's work-family reconciliation and to compare the differences among the types. An online survey was conducted with 1,037 fathers of school-aged children. The survey subjects were assigned to a ratio of 1:2:1:1 for fathers who have a child in kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. The fathers' work-family reconciliation type was a variable composed of three categories: work-centered, family-centered, and work-family centered. In the research model of this study, the fathers' work-family reconciliation type was influenced by family characteristics(the age of first child, the number of children, dual earner, and spouse support) and work characteristics(weekly working hours, work flexibility, and leaving work on time). We analyzed characteristics of work-family reconciliation through housework time, child care time, leisure time, family meals, and time spend talking with their children. The results showed that father's work-family reconciliation type was significantly different according to the characteristics such as first child age and spouse support, work characteristics such as weekly working hours and leaving work on time. The time distribution differed significantly depending on the father's work-family reconciliation type. Therefore, a fathers' work-family reconciliation can be considered typified by the interaction of family and work characteristics. This study suggests policy implications for supporting fathers' work-family reconciliation.

This article addresses potential barriers to sustained employment for rural low-income mothers. Drawing from a two panel longitudinal sample of 240 families from the Rural Families Speak project, it examines the extent to which human capital and family factors were related to these mothers' ability to be employed. Comparisons are made between mothers, who over a three-year period, were continuously unemployed, intermittently employed, or stably employed. Many of these rural low-income mothers faced multiple individual and family barriers that impacted their labor force participation. Notably food insecurity, mental health, caring for a young child, housing, and a family history of welfare were associated with less stable employment. The implications for public policy and service delivery are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to review the characteristics of the policy for supporting child care and education in Korea. In order to suggest the theoretical and practical issues for child care and education policy, it is necessary to evaluate the existing policies. Based on the review of the literature, the legal system, and the policy, the child care support system in Korea is evaluated to be fragmentary and inconsistent. And Korean child care policy is a mixture of the conservative and the liberal one. In order to meet the needs of the family and children of Korea, more progress approach to child care policy is needed. The suggestions of this study are to have Korean government give more weight on societal care of children, introduce children's allowance, integrating child care and education system and developing policy monitoring systems in Korea.

Purpose - The multicultural society is a society where a variety of ethnic groups and cultures co-exist. Regarding Korean multicultural society, the public interest in the multicultural society and its problems are on a growing trend due to the increasing number of the multicultural families by international marriage and the foreign immigrant workers. Research design, data, and methodology - Models of the multicultural society policies have been divided into those of assimilation and multiculturalism, while they have been materialized into the models of discriminative exclusivism, assimilation and multiculturalism. Most countries are aiming at the model of either the multiculturalism or the assimilation focused on national managerial situations. Results - In the case of Europe where the multicultural society had been formed earlier than Korea, Islamic immigrants have been politically accepted in order for Europe to overcome the problem of population decrease caused by its low birth-rate. Also, in the case of the United States. Conclusions - Korean multicultural society policies are characterized mostly by supporting the multicultural families of international marriage. In this study, it is intended to present the characteristics of diversified immigrants and the possible directions of the polices on immigrant youth in accordance with each country's managerial policy.
