This study aims at analyzing determinants of non-farming income activities of female farmers, and presenting how to support their participation in non-farming activities. The result of logistic regressive analysis whose subjects are female farmers in the Chungnam area indicates that human and economic capital variables that can predict non-farming income activity participation statistically significantly are persons at the age of 40s to 50s and female farmers who returned to the rural areas. Farming characteristic variables are households that receive subsidiary and participate in two different types of farming whose main farming is rice. The female farmers who spend longer hours doing household chores participate in non-farming income activities more actively. In terms of policy and on-site response variables, the interest in farming and farming businesses shows positive relation, and that of farming and community organization participation presents negative relation. These analysis results indicate that the local government must present the policy that can select non-farming income activity participation groups strategically. This study suggest that it is necessary to expand community centered-non-farming income activities, and to expand or make laws to support female farmer's participation in non-farming activities.

In South Korea, female individuals in their forties show a high rate of incidence, with approximately 13% of the patients being <40 years. This statistic is more than twice as high as that in Western countries. It is therefore necessary to identify the risk factors for breast cancer incidence by age and economic activity participation status. Women aged 30 to 59-whether breast cancer patients or those in the control group and having no breast cancer-were appraised from the sample cohort database. The data were analyzed using the statistical software R36.2. To identify the factors affecting breast cancer incidence, the degree of association was determined with HR and 95% CI by means of cox regression analysis. As for the socio-demographic variables, the older the individual, the higher the risk of breast cancer incidence becomes. As for the economic activity variables, those who were dependents (unemployed) and who had higher income (medium and high) were at higher risk of breast cancer incidence, which was statistically significant. The income-adjusted HR (model 1) for breast cancer development associated with the economic activity was 1.452 (95% CI, 1.19-1.77). The body mass index and alcohol intake-adjusted HR (model 2) was 1.431 (95% CI, 1.18-1.74). One needs to pay attention to policy plans regarding women's quality of life, as well as to the risk of breast cancer incidence by their economic activity. In other words, policies need to give post care, instead of focus on early detection and cancer treatment.

많은 새터민들은 물질적으로 풍요로운 자본주의 국가인 한국에 진입하면서 소비 생활 및 시장 경제활동에 있어서 쉽게 적응하지 못하고 있다. 특히, 새터민 중 69%는 여성이므로 이들을 위한 교육 프로그램의 개발 및 지원은 절실히 필요하다. 그들이 한국 사회에서 정상적으로 정착하여 합리적인 경제활동을 할 수 있도록 직무 교육 프로그램을 개발하여 지원할 필요가 있다. 그러나 일반적인 교육프로그램만을 진행하는 것은 안정적으로 정착하는데 부족하기 때문에 집단프로그램을 운영하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 새터민 여성이 한국 사회에 안정적으로 정착하기 위한 직무 교육프로그램과 정착 프로그램을 포함한 집단 프로그램을 준비하여 교육하기 위한 프로그램 구축 및 운영에 필요한 예산을 제안하고자 한다.
