  • The purpose of this study is to provide diverse points of view to understand the low fertility issue of Korean society. For this phenomenological qualitative study, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 married couples(28 persons) all raising three children. Participants were asked about overall family and work life, child care role performance, thoughts about child rearing, and their sociocultural context. Interview data were explored based on 6 analyzing steps offered by S, J, Talyor and R. Bogdan(1984). Most participants of this study were formed positive perceptions about having three children. Parents' positive perception was closely related with their attitude of not worrying too much about their children's future as well as child caring contexts around them. Parents' perception about having three children was also linked with their child care role construction process. In detail, parents with more positive perceptions tended to increase their level of child care involvement. This was particularly true for fathers. Mother and father's job situation emerged as an important factor to shape their child care involvement. In addition, child care attitude of people around them explained father's child care involvement. Applying these qualitative results, we first expect to provide detailed ideas about lives with three children in Korea. Second, based on our study findings, a more realistic and helpful policy to help the low fertility problem could be developed. Lastly, we also hope to provide helpful phenomenological qualitative research about low fertility issues of Korea.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 어린이집원장의 감성리더십이 보육교사의 감성지능과 보육교사의 삶의 질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위함이다. 이를 위하여 K시와 J도에 소재한 어린이집에 재직 중인 교사 277명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 본 연구를 위해 수집된 자료는 SPSS Win 20.0을 이용하여 빈도분석과 기술통계, Pearson 적률상관분석, 중다회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 이에 따른 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어린이집 원장의 감성리더십 전체는 감성지능 전체 간에 유의미한 정적 상관관계가 있으며 보육교사의 감성지능 전체에 7.2%의 영향력을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 어린이집원장의 감성리더십 전체는 삶의 질 전체 간에 유의미한 정적 상관관계가 있으며 보육교사의 삶의 질 전체에 9.9%의 영향력을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 통해 어린이집원장의 감성리더십과 보육교사의 감성지능을 위하여 보육교사의 삶의 질을 높일 수 있는 정책적 방안을 마련하는데 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

  • The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of preschool teachers' qualification (education level, teaching experience, major, and certification) and competency variables (teaching efficacy and teacher-child interaction) on young children's development (cognition, language, and social development). The data came from $5^{th}$ Wave of Panel Study on Korean Children (PSKC) from the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education, and the multiple regression analyses as well as Pearson's correlation analyses were used. The results showed the positive associations between teachers' competency (teaching efficacy and teacher-child interaction) and child development. However, we did not find significant effects of teachers' qualification on young children's development. Based on the results, we proposed a policy implication that teacher qualification needed to be discussed with teacher competency to improve teacher quality.

  • Considering recent changes in care policies for children and the elderly, this study assumed that the familialistic characteristics of the welfare state in Korea might differ from those of the past. In order to explore the direction of change in familialism, this study focused on care policies for children under six and for the elderly who are sixty-five and over. Applying Leitner's four types of familialism-implicit familialism, explicit familialism, optional familialism, and de-familialism-to the study, it analyzed both familialization care policies, such as paid parental leave, homecare allowance, tax credit, and de-familialization care policies, including service provision and subsidies. The results of the study showed that care policy for children under 6 displayed the characteristics of "optional familialism," while care policy for the elderly reflected "de-familialism."

  • Objective: The purposes of this study are to test a direct effect of mother-child interaction and to examine the mediating effect of children's smart media use on a child's sleeping hours. Methods: We analyzed the longitudinal data of 1,494 children from the $6^{th}$ panel study of Korean children collected by the Korea Institute of Child Care and Education in 2013, which examined 5-year-old children. The main analysis method was Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results: The study results showed that mother-child interaction had a direct effect on the child's sleeping hours. Children's smart media use also directly influenced the child's sleeping hours. In regard to mediation, the results revealed that children's smart media use mediated the relationship between mother-child interaction and child's sleeping hours. Conclusion/Implications: Bidirectional mother-child interaction and the degree of smart media use played an important role in children's sleeping hours. This study suggests policy and practical implications in order to retain children's healthy sleeping hours.

  • 본 연구는 방과후 방치 정도가 아동발달에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 실증분석 자료로는 한국복지패널조사의 1차년도와 4차년도 아동 부가조사를 이용하였다. 구체적으로 초등학교 고학년 기간의 방과후 방치 정도가 중학교 기간의 학업성취도, 내재화 문제, 외현화 문제, 비행경험에 영향을 미치는지 분석한 결과, 방과후 방치 정도는 아동의 학업성취도와 내재화 문제에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 방과후 방치 정도가 클수록 학업성취도는 감소하고 내재화 문제는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 방과후 방치의 영향은 아동발달에 영향을 미치는 주요요인으로 알려져 있는 아동특성, 부모 및 가구 특성뿐 아니라 과거의 아동발달 정도를 통제하고도 유지되는 것으로 나타나 방과후 방치가 학업성취도와 아동의 정서 중 내재화 문제에 미치는 영향이 상당하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 연구결과를 통해 방과후 방치 아동에 대한 지원방안을 모색할 때 양적인 확대도 중요하지만 단순한 보호와 돌봄의 차원을 넘어선 아동발달 지원 정책이 필요하다는 정책적 함의를 도출하였다.

  • Objective : Recent government policy for encouraging increased birth rate and its historical background were reviewed from the standpoint of a midwife. Suggestions were made for an effective policy to encourage more births. Possible roles of midwives regarding this new policy were also discussed. Methods : Literature reviews and internet research Results : Korea has been very successful in implementing its population control policy since the 1960s. It now considers a policy to encourage increased births due to falling birth rates. There are two opposite sides on this policy. One is positive and the other is negative opinion. The health of women and children should be given top priority in any policy -making or decisions, so that the quality of their lives can be improved. Midwives can be active members in the establishment and implementation of such policies. Conclusion : This policy to increase birth rates can be a good opportunity for midwives to publicize the fact that normal deliveries can be handled economically, efficiently, and safely by them. This will attract more women to employ midwives and use their clinics. If midwifery clinics in the form of a corporation or a consortium with other health care professionals can be established, they could be developed as One-Stop Women's Health Care Centers, where health needs of, not only pregnant women, but all women over the course of their lifetimes can be satisfied.

  • This paper explores factors associated with multiple concurrent care and education arrangements in early childhood in South Korea. It draws on a subsample from the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families. Results show that about one-fifth of the families utilized multiple arrangements for their first preschool child. The primary non-parental option in multiplicity was nurseries or kindergartens. Home care and education options such as home study materials were found to be most prevalent secondary non-parental option, followed by services at private institution as well as relative care. Children's age, care cost, non-parental care time and time constraints were found to be positively related to the incidence of multiplicity for the first preschool child while family income and cost constraints were negatively associated. As a secondary option in the multiplicity, services at private institutions increased with children's age, care cost and when the grandparents live far from the parents' house. Home care and education utilization was found more among mothers with low degree of time constraints. Utilization of relative support decreased with the children's age and meant lower care cost and increased with mother's employment, fathers' education, family income, cost constraints and when grandparents live nearby. This paper, based on the associated factors, suggests how issues of children enrichment and constraints might be related to the multiplicity.
