Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the recognition on center-based child care health programs for parents with ill children. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with convenient sampling method was used and 136 parents were recruited from two university hospital outpatient departments and hospitalized wards, and they completed a structured questionnaire. Results: Majority (57.4%) of parents experienced a leaving work early or being absent from their work due to children's illness. Most dissatisfying factors in child care centers were child health management. Most of parents agreed on the need for a center-based child care health program, and wanted a better management of health care by health professionals in child care centers. Conclusion: These results support that there is a great demand for center-based child care health programs. These special programs are needed for reducing a child rearing burden for working mothers and overcoming the low birthrate in Korea. Health-care programs in child-care settings can help parents meet the health needs of their children while reducing absenteeism from work, thereby contributing to job stability. These results suggest discussions of the related policy with child care centers responsible and national health and educational authorities.

무상보육 시행 이후에도 무상보육은 담론의 각축장이 되어 왔다. 본 연구는 영유아 무상보육 담론분석을 위해 주요 4대 일간지(조선일보, 동아일보, 경향신문, 한겨레신문)의 '무상보육' 기사를 살펴보았다. 자료 수집은 한국 언론진흥재단의 카인즈(Korea Integrated News Database System)와 조선일보 아카이브를 통해 검색하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 자료는 무상보육 실시 후 자료로 한정하였다. 연구결과 무상보육담론은 양육수당, 맞벌이 주부 대 전업주부, 보편복지 대 선별복지 등 다양한 대립구도를 형성하면서 경합해 왔음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 담론분석 결과 보수적 또는 진보적 이데올로기가 실천되고 재편되는 과정을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 본 연구는 무상보육 담론이 어떻게 구성되어 왔는지를 일가족 양립 지원 관점에서 성찰한다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

본 연구는 아동양육시설 보육사가 경험한 통합보육을 통해 통합보육의 다면성과 성공적 통합보육 수행 방향을 제시하고자 했다. 아동양육시설에서 통합보육을 경험한 10명의 보육사를 연구 참여자로 선정하여 질적 사례연구방법에 따라 전사 자료를 분석했다. 보육사들은 통합보육 수행에 거부감을 나타내고 있었으며, 통합보육 적응과정에서 장애아동과 비장애아동 모두에게 충분한 돌봄을 제공할 수 없어 죄책감을 느끼고 있었다. 그들은 아동에게 필요한 지원을 제때에 받을 수 있도록 행정기관과의 즉각적 소통의 창구 마련, 장애아동 케어와 관련한 보육사 교육지원 및 특수교사 파견 등을 원하고 있으며, 3교대 정책에 대해서는 모두 반대의견으로 나타났다. 또한 아동양육시설에서의 통합보육 다면성에 따른 지원방안으로서 보육사의 처우와 급여 문제, 시설보호아동들의 교육 기회와 양육환경 문제에 대한 사회 전반의 관심을 환기 하는데 있어 향후 연구 방향을 추가로 모색할 수 있을 것으로 기대해본다.

Using data from the 2008 Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, this study investigated the income class differences in the modes, amount of time, and expenses for caring and educating a child in early childhood. The sample consisted of 1,849 households with a child aged 6 years or less. The major findings were as follows. First, the lower-income class was more likely to rely on child care centers and less likely to use services provided by kindergarten or private education. Their total amount of time required to provide care and education for their child was about 4 or 5 hours less than that of the other income classes; this result was due to the fact that they consumed less hours for home care, kindergarten, and private education. Second, we found there were more similarities than differences between middle-income and upper-income classes in the modes, amount of time, and expenses to care for and educate their young children; however, the middle-income class used less private education than the upper-income classes in terms of usage rate and length of time. Lastly, the other variables which were significantly related with the amount of time and expenses for child care and education included mother's employment, age of the child, and having siblings, and the family size. Based on the results, implications for public policy on early childhood care and education were suggested.

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.

The purpose of this study was to explore the typology of child care, investigate the characteristics of child care types, and analyze the differences in time deficit as well as time satisfaction by the types of child care for dual-earner couples with preschool children. The data source for this research was the 2009 Time Use Survey conducted by the Korea National Statistical Office. Dual-earners aged 20 to 59 years completed 1,568 time diaries, which were analyzed using chi-square, cluster analysis, and ANOVA analysis. Child care time was classified into three types in the three categories of child care, household work sharing and leisure sharing for both males and females respectively. Three types for husbands were named "vulnerable", "household work child care predominant" and "leisure predominant". The three types for wives were named "vulnerable", "household work child care oriented" and "household work child care". The characteristics of each type depended on age, education, weekly working hours, gender role of husbands and age, weekly working hours of wives. The vulnerable type of wives showed the highest level of time deficit. Based on the results, implications for Public policy on child care and various types of education as well as programs were suggested.

Purpose: To investigate the actual conditions of health care management in child day care centers and parents needs for a Center-based Child Care Health Program. Methods: Study design was cross-sectional descriptive study. 937 parents from 33 day care centers in Seoul completed a structured questionnaire. Results: 73.0% of the parents experienced sick events with their child at least once or more every 1-3months. These events resulted in 35.2% of the parents having to leave work early or to be absent from their jobs. 30.4% were asked to drive a sick child from the child day care centers to their home. Most parents (76.7%) agreed on the need for a Center-based Child Care Health Program (CCCHP), and expected general health & illness management, and growth & development evaluation from the CCCHP. Conclusion: These results show that there is a great demand for Center-based Child Care Health Program. They suggest that there is an urgent need to develop CCCHPs to promote children's health and to support parents. Also the results of this study can be utilized as a basis for the establishment of a childcare policy in Korea.

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.

본 연구는 육아휴직제도가 출산에 미치는 정책효과에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 육아휴직제도는 1차적으로 일과 가정의 양립을 취지로 하고 있다. 그러나 출산율 제고의 문제가 부각되면서 육아휴직제도 또한 출산장려책의 일환으로 기대되면서 육아휴직의 대상과 급여 혜택 또한 강화되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 배경 하에서 복지패널 자료를 활용하여 가임기 여성 및 그 배우자의 육아휴직 혜택 이후 출산효과를 이중차분의 방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 육아휴직제도의 정책효과는 출산에 관한 한 아직까지 긍정적이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과는 출산율 제고에 있어서 육아휴직제도의 실질적인 확대 외에 우리나라의 가정친화적인 노동환경 재정립의 필요성을 시사하고 있다.
