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.

This study investigated the performance of the child care policies implemented by the former government and analyzes some changes in child care policies by the new government in Korea. The criteria for evaluating child care policies of both governments were based on suggestions gleaned from OECD policy review papers on Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in 2004 and 2006. As suggested by the OECD, the input of financial investment in public sectors, universal approaches to child care, measures of quality programs, efforts for improving the work environment of child care workers and selecting effective ways of providing financial support for child care were applied in order to evaluate the child care policies in Korea. A number of policy documents and literature published by both governments from 2003-2009 were reviewed in order to evaluate and compare the former child care policies with the more recent ones. The child care policies enacted by the former Korean government were characterized as the remarkable increases in financial investment to establish a child care infrastructure for quality programs and services, and efforts to enact universal approaches to child care, policy making based on scientific data on child care. These advances were tempered by the observation that despite all these improvements, both investment and expansion in the public child care sector were far below sufficient levels. In contrast, some changes in the child care policies by the new government were criticized in terms of weakening public child care, reinforcing private child care and it's conservative financial support system.

본 연구는 인천의 아동 돌봄 실태를 살펴보고, 아동의 모(母)가 가지고 있는 정책적 욕구를 현재의 보육 환경 속에서 해석해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 아동의 모(母)를 취업모와 미취업모로 구분하고, 각 집단에 따른 아동 돌봄 시간과, 만족도 그리고 정책 욕구를 살펴보았다. 연구 수행을 위해 5세 이하의 자녀를 돌보고 있는 인천시 거주 여성(292명)을 분석 대상으로 삼았다. 분석 결과, 미취업모가 취업모보다 아동 돌봄 시간이 더 긴 것으로 나타났고, 만족도는 신체적 돌봄에서만 미취업모가 취업모보다 유의미하게 높은 수준을 나타냈다. 정책 욕구는 각 집단이 처한 상황을 반영하는 결과를 보였다. 정책 욕구 중 보육시설 비용에 대한 지원 욕구는 두 집단 모두에서 높은 수준으로 나타났는데, 이는 아동 연령 증가에 따른 보육시설 이용 가능성의 증가와 인천시의 부모 부담 보육료 수준이 높음에 따라 나타난 결과로 생각된다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 정책적 함의를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to offer essential information related to early childhood education and care policy. Using the Korea Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) Vol.5., this study analyzed sociodemographic factors that decide the use and type of institute for early childhood education and care. The following results are obtained： First, it is not easy for young children under three years old to use education and care institutes because of their preference for home care. Second, the mother's job status affects the child's use of child care centers and private institutes for education except for the using of early child education centers. Third, the affecting main factors for the use of child care centers are quite similar to critical factors for use of the private institute for education. Thus, young children using the private institute for education could be interpreted as coming from a low-income class compared with the children using the early child education centers.

유아교육의 중요성을 인식하고 유아에 대한 무상교육범위확대, 유아교육의 초등학교와의 연계, 유아교육 담당 체제의 일원화, 맞벌이 부부를 위한 종일제 운영의 비용인화, 저소득층 유아에 대한 정책 등 국가차원에서의 대책을 마련하고 있다. 한국의 보육정책에서 무상 맞벌이 부부가 많아지고, 핵 가족이 증가하고, 이혼률의 증가로 보육의 필요성이 증가하였다. 우리나라 보육정책은 전체적으로 보육예산의 증가추세에도 불구하고 보육시설, 양육자의 보육료 부담으로 그 효율성에 많은 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 무상보육정책에 대한 이론적 내용과 그에 따른 보육지원정책을 알아본 후 무상보육정책에 대한 개선방향을 생각해보고자 한다.

이 논문은 최근 보육정책의 환경 변화 과정에서 나타난 재정지원 방식 전환에 따른 논란을 이론적으로 재구조화한 글이다. 영유아보육법 개정, 보육업무의 여성부 이관, 그리고 저출산-고령화 문제의 국정과제 채택과 육아지원정책 방안의 발표 등 급속한 정책 환경의 변화 속에서 재정지원 방식에 대한 새로운 요구가 나타나고 있다. 이른바 시설별 지원 대 아동별 지원에 대한 논란은 곧, 공급측면의 재정지원 대 수요측면의 재정지원에 대한 논란이다. 본 논문은 양 주장의 특징을 분석하기 위해 글래너스터, OECD, 버챠드 모델 등을 소개하고, 그 중 현재의 논쟁을 가장 통합적으로 설명해 줄 수 있는 버차드의 모델을 중심으로 논쟁의 각 입장을 서비스 공급, 재정, 결정의 세 측면에서 분석하였다. 그리고 이것이 보육정책의 방향인 공공성과 서비스 질 향상과 어떠한 관련성이 있는지를 밝히면서, 재정지원 방식에 관한 논란을 이론적으로 재구조화하였다.

This study analyzes how governmental financial support of child care affects the participation of married women in the labor market in Korea. This dynamic analysis used data gathered over four years via the fifth to the eighth Korea Welfare Panel Studies (KWPS). The major results are as follows. First, child care allowance has a negative effect on the participation of married women in the labour market. Providing cash for child care seems to decrease women's labour market participation by cementing the role of women as the primary child care providers in the household. Second, the support for families, used by child care facilities, is found to increase the probability of married women working either part-time or full-time, thereby decreasing the burden on household budgets caused by child care costs. In conclusion, governmental policy-based child care benefits, used by child care centers, should be continued so that married women may participate in the labour market while raising their children.

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.

Most preschool children in Korea attend kindergarten (KG) or a child care center (CCC). CCCs, which focus on caring for the child, belong to the ministry of health and welfare. On the other hand, KGs are responsible for education, and belong to the ministry of education, science and technology. In order to resolve the decline in population due to low birthrates, the government is expanding the free child care and education policies. CCCs and KGs are combined together to form the 'NURI curriculum' and supporting funds have been increased in both governmental departments. In addition, economic support is provided for homeschooling households. Because this is a nationwide policy and applies to every single household, thorough preparation regarding the effect and side effects must be made. This policy is currently being implemented, and as child and adolescent psychiatrists, great consideration should be given to the influence on the population. Therefore, the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry intends to investigate the effects and problems of the nationwide policy by analyzing the current condition of Korea's free child care and education and foreign policies. In the current paper, we reviewed the developmental process of Korea's free child care and education policy, as well as suggested future directions.

본 연구는 육아지원기관 이용기간과 아동의 언어 인지 발달 정도에 어떠한 상관관계가 있는지 연구하고, 이를 통해 아동 발달을 긍정적인 측면으로 이끄는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 육아정책연구소 한국아동패널의 5차년도(2012) 자료를 사용하였으며, 조사에 응답한 1703가구 중 대상을 제외한 총 913가구를 대상으로 하였다. IBM SPSS Statistics SPSS 23 프로그램을 이용하여 빈도분석, t검정, 분산분석, 다중 선형회귀분석(multiple linear regression analysis) 등을 통하여 결과를 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 육아지원기관 이용 기간과 아동의 언어 인지발달 사이에 유의한 상관관계가 있었으며, 육아지원기관 이용기간이 길수록 아동의 언어 인지 발달이 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 보건 정책에 적용하여 무상보육정책을 확대한다면, 아동의 언어와 인지 발달 정도에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것이라 예상된다.
