The study seeks to evaluate the impacts of three types of credit - formal, semi-formal, and informal credits - on the well-being of households in Vietnam's rural areas. Based on data from the Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys in 2014 and 2016, the research uses the instrumental variable fixed-effect models to estimate the effects of three kinds of credit on household's per capita income and expenditure. There are some significant findings. First, in rural areas, formal credit is the most popular source with stable and cheap borrowing costs. Informal credit is a complement to formal credit to meet urgent needs. Funding agriculture activities is the most commonly cited purpose of borrowing, followed by purchasing assets. The highest misuse rate belongs to the group of loans for agriculture production. Second, the results show that credit helps smoothen consumption rather than generate income for rural households. Three types of credit have insignificant or negative effects on household's per capita income. Formal loans significantly improve total expenditure and spending on healthcare and education. Informal and semi-formal credits show a little influence on consumption. Informal loans have a significantly positive effect on healthcare expenditure. In contrast, having semi-formal loans tends to decrease spending on foods.

This study aims to analyze the livelihood resources and income diversification of informal recyclers in the Mekong River Delta (MRD). The multiple linear regression model was applied to determine income diversification and total household income with the sustainable livelihood analysis framework developed by the United Kingdom Department for International Development (2000), including human resources, physical resources, natural resources, financial resources, and social resources. The results indicated that up to 25% of itinerant waste buyers worked on average more than 7.3 hours/day, which was higher than the urban near-poor level regulated by the Vietnam government. The results of the regression model revealed that total households' income was affected by the factors of health status, gender, urban location type 1, the amount of potential savings, and informal credit participation, while the factors of health status, urban location, the amount of potential savings, and informal credit participation have the effect of diversifying farm household income. Thus, if the informal waste recycling sector is supported and regulated by proper government management, it will not only help poor households diversify their income, but it will also help poor households diversify their income, particularly women's income, which is vulnerable and lower than male income in the MRD.

This study aims to develop the methodology based on the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) of evaluation for commercial paper. commercial paper is the ma product of merchant banks. commercial paper evaluation is annually performed by the credit-evaluation agency. Credit evaluation is performed by the informal judgemental system, which has potential to induce serious inconsistencies in decision-making. We present an objective scoring model which does not suffer from the weakness of the subjective judgement system. The model used is illustrated by analyzing the commercial paper evaluation for the 3 motor-companies(H, K and S motors).

The money market has been existing in various forms for a long time. Until 1972, however, the market had supplied mainly short-term loans of commercial banks and loans of informal money lenders to business corporations. There was no market for notes and commercial papers of business corporations. Consequently, business corporations had to rely primarily upon commercial banks for short-term credit loans to supplement their working capital. The interest rate on loans of commercial banks had been set below a free market equilibrium rate and thereby, generated excess demands for the loans. Unsatisfied potential borrowers thus had to turn to informal money lenders for short-term cerdit loans of prohibitively high interest rate. Since 1972 investment and finance companies have been operating in the money market and their role in mobilizing short-term loans is increasing. This paper aims at estimating the equilibrium size of the money market.

Women are more disadvantaged than men in many fronts and this confines them to informal sector livelihood activities. Any attempt to improve women's economic status will require information on the organization, cost and returns to investment in the livelihood activities in which they predominate. This is the issue for this study which compared yield performance in artisanal fishing and fresh fish marketing. Primary data collected through multi-stage sampling method were analyzed using inferential statistics, budgeting and regression models. Empirical findings revealed that about 75.0% of fisher folks either had no formal education or acquired only primary school education while 50.0% of marketers had secondary school education. The budgeting model revealed fisher-folks' and marketers' annual net profit to be N2,882,626.00 and N640,227.00, respectively. Profit from fishing was significantly higher than that of fish marketing. At 53.2% for fishing and 40.3% for marketing, returns to investment was better in fishing. Regression model results showed the significant factors influencing returns to each livelihood strategy to include fishing ground, distance covered and years of experience. The major constraint faced by operators of both livelihoods groups was insufficient credit. Despite this, the livelihood strategies were shown to be profitable ventures which contributed to households' consumption expenditure. Organizing women informal sector operators into groups to enhance access to government support and formal credit are recommended for improving livelihood strategy performance.

The condition of financial services in Indonesia is unique, based on various characteristics, behaviors, and preferences. Therefore, the study of finance and banking is interesting to study as a recommendation for government policies. This paper aims to analyze the barriers to accessing formal financial services in Indonesia and why informal financial services are preferred. This paper presents a case study of financial inclusion in selected provinces in Indonesia using the SOFIA dataset from the Ministry of National Development Planning. Overall, this data consists of 20,000 individuals from 4 provinces and 93 regions representing the population in eastern Indonesia. The analysis was carried out by processing individual-level cross-sectional data surveyed in 2017 using the probit binary logistic method. The results identify the individual barriers in accessing formal financial services, including account ownership, saving, and credit activities in the formal financial institutions, and amplify the image by analyzing what determinants affect people to choose informal institutions. We found that some individual characteristics such as age, gender, education, income, employment status, residence, and access to technology significantly affect the barrier to formal financial services in East Indonesia.

평생학습의 가치가 부각 되면서 각국은 평생학습의 시스템을 구축하는 데 노력을 경주하고 있다. 이러한 경향에 따라 논문에서는 평생학습 참여율, 학습성과, 학습지원 인프라, 학습비 지원, 평생학습 결과 인정 등을 국제 비교하고자 한다. 비교교육학적 접근을 위하여 Bray와 Thomas(1995)의 비교교육학적 프레임인 지리적/지역 수준, 비지정학적 인구 통계학 집단, 사회와 교육측면의 큐브를 활용하였다. 우리나라의 평생학습 참여율은 2017년 34.4%로 OECD국가 평균 46%보다 낮다. 성인의 역량을 측정하는 PIAAC 조사에서는 언어능력, 수리력, 컴퓨터 기반 문제해결력 3영역 모두 OECD국가 평균보다 낮았다. 사전학습 인증에서 EU국가는 EQF를 개발하여 모든 비형식, 무형식 학습의 결과에 가치를 부여하고 있다, 반면 한국은 학점은행제에 의하여 자격을 학점은행제 학점으로 인정하고 있다. 평생학습의 국제비교는 한 국가의 평생학습의 실태를 진단하고 향후 평생학습 정책을 수립하는데 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있다, 유럽의 시민사회 형성과 맥락을 같이 하였다. 따라서 평생학습의 비교교육학적 접근은 근대국가의 형성 과정과 특성 등 역사적 맥락과 사회경제적 성격, 인구 동태 등에 따라 다르다는 것을 견지할 필요가 있다.

에밀리오 푸치(Emilio Pucci)는 자연스러움과 여성스러움을 강조시킴에 의상 절대적인 의미를 부과함과 동시에 그의 디자인에 비비드(vivid)하며 브릴리먼트(brilliant)한 색채의 대담하고 추상적인 프린트를 통하여 자신의 창조적인 정신세계와 경험을 자기창조의 미적세계로 표현하고있다. 본 논문은 그의 작품을 통하여 그의 예술적 개별성이 어떻게 표현되었나를 이 해 하였고 그\ulcornerl 독특한 색채의 프린트를 통하여 그의 예술적 인식이 어떻게 조형화하여 표출되었는지를 연구하였다. 그는 전쟁의 경험으로부터, 새로운 경험에로의 지속적인 열정으로 세게어디로든지의 여행으로부터 절대적인 영감을 받아 그의 창조적인 정신의 세게를 그의 진정한 내부를 내보여놓는 원동력으로 감았다. 그의 조형세계를 분석해 봄으로써, 21세기를 앞둔 오늘날의 의상이 생활속에 확실한 자아표현, 자기완성과 창조의 미적 방편으로 선택되어 지고 있는 이때, 현대 의상디자인이 우리에 의해 연구되어져야 할 과제가 무엇인가를 생각코자 한다.
