본 연구는 한국복지패널(1차년도)을 활용하여 주거빈곤이 아동의 신체건강, 내재화문제, 학업성취에 미치는 영향과 그 과정을 밝히고자 하였다. 분석결과 최저기준미달주거와 주거비 비중은 주거불안정과 모(부)불건강, 아동의 비학업활동은 증가시키고, 비주거지출은 감소시켜 아동의 내재화문제와 학업성취에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 소득빈곤, 지역빈곤과 가구특성을 통제한 상태에서 나타난 결과였다. 본 연구를 통해 주거빈곤에 대한 이론적 모델을 발전시키고, 주거 빈곤 정책의 중요성을 환기시킬 수 있었다.

The study examined and compared relationships among self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic achievement of children in poverty and the comparative groups. The subjects of this study were 97 elementary school students who had benefited from the free meal project and 97 students as the comparative group who did not receive the benefit. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ tests, and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that academic scores of the comparative group were statistically higher than those of children in the poverty group in Korean language, mathematics, science, and sociology. Also, self-esteem of children in the poverty group was lower than that of the comparative group's in terms of leadership and popularity. The poverty group also showed lower self-efficacy in self-regulated efficacy tasks. Finally, multiple regression analysis demonstrated that different sub-factors of self-esteem and self-efficacy predicted the academic achievement of children in poverty group and the comparative groups.

In this study, the characteristics and patterns of family problems were explored. What constituted family problems, and how those evolved over the period of drastic changes in the Korean society were examined, by analyzing articles published from the 1940s to the 1980s in the four major national newspapers in Korea. A total of 6542 articles related to family problems in the four newspapers, Chosun, Dong-A, Kyunghyang, and Seoul, were used for the content analysis of this study. The main categories of family problems were classified as poverty, marital issues, issues related to children and adolescents, elderly issues, problems in the family as an institution, and the so-called family-lag problem. Each of these categories consisted of several subcategories: The poverty-related problems included the problems caused by difficulty in making a living and instability of living, for example. The marital issues category consisted of conflicts between the couple, unfaithful spouses, domestic violence, divorce, and so on. Issues related to children and adolescents included juvenile delinquency, difficulty in bringing up children, child abuse, single motherhood, and underage household heads, for example. The elderly issues included the anxiety over the aging society, support for the elderly, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, alienation of the elderly, etc. Problems in the family as an institution consisted of the legal issues in such areas as marriage, succession of the family head, and adoption. Lastly, the family-lag problem included confusion over family values, and conflict caused by the inconsistency between consciousness and actual behavior related to the family or family crisis. From the 1940s to the 1980s, family-lag was the most common problem (26.2% of the total articles), followed by issues related to children and adolescents (23.1%), poverty (16.2%), marital issues (15.9%), elderly issues (12.4%), and problems in the family as an institution (6.0%). During the 1940s and the 1950s, poverty was a prominent problem, and in the 1960s, issues related to children and adolescents were most commonly addressed in the articles. In the 1970s and the 1980s, the family-lag problem was the most frequently addressed.

Using data from the Panel Study on Korean Children, this study investigated whether children with high levels of problem behaviors adjusted more poorly on the $1^{st}-grade$ than children with low levels of problem behaviors, and whether there was evidence of intra-individual stability in behavior problems over time. Data were analyzed by use of the Latent Growth Model and group differences analyses. Three findings were noteworthy. First, there was evidence of intra-individual and inter-individual variability in behavior problems between poor- and non-poor household children. Second, children with higher initial levels of internalizing and externalizing behaviors at 4 years had lower school readiness scores at 6 years. Finally, children with lower levels of school readiness at 6 years had lower school adjustment scores in $1^{st}$ grade. The results discuss implications for future research and policies for preschool children. With mediating effect of school readiness, developmental trajectories of child's problem behavior have been found to be predictors of delayed achievements in school. The results show that intervention programs are necessary for children with high levels of problem behavior. This study also showed that children who experienced poverty at home could have more difficulties in school readiness and school adjustment.

This study evaluates the poverty experiences of low-income single mothers according to the Capability Approach of Amartya Sen. In this approach, the capability to achieve the basic functionings of life, not income itself, is the criterion of poverty. 26 single mothers were interviewed using focus-group interviews and in-depth interviews. 21 functionings on the existence level, 18 on the relatedness level, and 15 on the growth level were found in the areas of work, health, food consumption, clothing, housing, child rearing, and leisure. The results of this study suggest that low-income single mothers can achieve only some of the existence level functionings with significant help from welfare services. They can scarcely achieve higher level functionings in any of these areas.

이 연구의 목적은 한국을 포함한 OECD 주요국을 대상으로 사회구조적 요인, 복지제도, 노동시장 및 정치제도 등 독신모가구 빈곤의 국가 간 다양성에 영향을 끼치는 거시적 원인을 규명하는 것이다. 1981년부터 2012년 기간에 대해 불균형패널설계(unbalanced panel design)방법을 적용한 결합시계열회귀분석을 실시했다. 연구결과 독신모가구의 빈곤율은 국가 간 다양성이 현저했다. 1인당GDP는 빈곤위험감소에 기여하지 못했고, 여성고용율과 15세미만 아동비율은 빈곤위험을 증가시켰다. 전체사회복지지출, 아동에 대한 현금지출, 노조조직률, 정규직에 대한 고용보호, 비례대표선거제도, 누적좌파내각, 누적여성의석수는 독신모가구의 빈곤위험을 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 한국은 경제성장 일변도와 노동시장유연화 위주의 탈빈곤전략에서 탈피해 보편적 복지제도, 아동에 대한 복지급여와 일-가정양립정책을 확대할 필요가 있다. 나아가 노조조직률향상과 고용보호확대 등 조정된 노동시장제도를 설계하고, 비례대표선거제도 등 합의제정치모델을 도입해 좌파정치세력과 여성의 정치적 대표성을 확립할 필요가 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 빈곤이 아동의 학구적 성취에 미치는 과정을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해, 한국청소년패널(초4패널) 1차년도 자료 2838사례가 활용되었으며, 구체적 분석방법은 구조방정식모형이 사용되었다. 분석결과, 빈곤은 아동의 학구적 성취에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 것이 아니라, 가족기능, 이웃환경, 사교육, 자기 신뢰감 등 여러 과정변수를 통해 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구의 발견은 빈곤아동에 대한 사회적 지원이 학구적 성취 수준을 향상시키는데 기여할 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 특히, 이러한 사회적 지원이 빈곤의 영향을 매개하는 요인들에 집중될 필요가 있음을 보여준다.

The purpose of this study was to observe differences in peer competence by children's personality and to investigate the relationship between peer competence and characteristics of children from poor families. The subjects were 79 parents and their 4- to 6-year-old children at a kindergarten in Seoul. The instruments were Iannotti's facial drawings cards, vignettes, "roster and rating" the Family Environment Scale (FES) and the Family Expressiveness Questionnaire (FEQ). The main results of this study were that girls from poor families had higher levels of peer competence than boys. There was a significant correlation between the peer competence of the children in poverty and family characteristics. The children's gender, knowledge of emotion, and mother's negatively dominant conduct were the factors that indicated children's behavior in peer competence. Family conflict and mother's emotional conduct did not relate to children's knowledge of emotion.

Objective: Bidi is an inexpensive, low-processed, hand-rolled tobacco product. In Bangladesh, especially in Rangpur, tobacco farming and bidi processing are common. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of bidi making on children working in bidi factories. Methods: This qualitative(walk-through survey) and quantitative(questionnaire-based survey and a urine cotinine level quantitation) study was conducted in Rangpur, Bangladesh in 2017. Study population included child-workers aged ≤14 years who were regularly employed as bidi makers. Findings: The results of the walk-through survey revealed hazardous working environments at bidi factories. For the quantitative survey, 171 child-workers were categorized into "less-working"(<5 hours/day) and "more-working"(≥5 hours/day) groups; additionally, "forced-working"(forced into work by parents) and "voluntary-working"(working voluntarily) groups were delineated within the same population. In the logistic regression analysis, odds ratios(ORs) of respiratory symptoms and unusual absence(absent ≥5 days/month) were higher in the "more-working" group than in the "less-working" group(unusual absence: OR, 2.91; 95% confidence interval[CI], 1.43-5.94), and this association became higher in the "forced-working" group with longer working hours(OR, 5.68, 95%CI 2.30-14.00). Conclusions: Cheap, hand-rolled tobacco(bidi) is harmful to the health of bidi-making child-workers. Children in poverty bow to the demands of cheap labor and poverty and jeopardize their health and future prospects by working in bidi factories. Tobacco control policies should consider the social effects of tobacco beyond its biological effects.

Purpose: This is a descriptive study to identify the relationships of depression, health status, and parenting stress of caregivers of children in poverty. Methods: The participants were 42 caregivers of preschool or school age children enrolled for the Dream Start Program in a city of Kyeonggi province, which is a program of the Korean Ministry of Health & Welfare offering services for growth and development of low-income children. Data were collected from November, 2009 to February, 2010 by using a questionnaire. Results: The vast majority of the participants were mothers (n=33, 78.6%), and less than a half were married (n=16, 38.1%). Depression of the participants was at the moderate level ($18.60{\pm}10.13$). They perceived their health was fair ($81.10{\pm}18.97$). Their parenting stress was high ($93.45{\pm}20.06$). Their parenting stress was significantly correlated with depression (r=.57, p<.001) and perceived health status (r=.49, p=.001), which indicates their parenting stress was high as their depression was high or they perceived they were not healthy. Conclusion: The study results suggest to provide the caregivers of children in poverty with a well- developed program to manage their depression and parenting stress and ultimately to improve their mental health.
