This study aims to investigate the levels of assets and debts that male- and female-headed households have in comparison to married-couple households. Toward this end, a series of analyses of data from the 2011 Korean Household Finance Survey on the assets and debts of single-parent households are conducted. The empirical results reveal that the amounts of assets and net worth of married-couple households were significantly larger than those of male- and female-headed households. A comparison between male- and female-headed households show that the latter were more likely to hold financial assets such as savings accounts, savings insurance and mutual funds. The amounts of assets of female-headed households were significantly larger than those of male-headed households. Furthermore, the amount of credit card debt in mele-headed households was significantly larger than that in female-headed households.

This study aimed to investigate the levels of assets and income of male- and female-headed households. A series of analyses of data from the 2013 Korean Household Finance and Welfare Survey on the economic resources of single-parent households were conducted. One of the major findings was that in a comparison between male-headed households and female-headed households, the levels of assets and income in female-headed households were lower than those in male-headed households. The labor income in male households was almost two times higher than that in female households. Housing conditions with respect to male households were more secure and better than those in female households. The factors influencing the levels of economic resources in single-parent households varied in terms of the type of economic resources. Gender, employment status, family characteristics and household income were statistically significant factors with respect to the levels of assets in single-parent households. The level of household income was influenced by gender, education, employment status and the number of household members. The effect of employment status on housing conditions was significant.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difficulties, conflicts, and communications between female-headed single parents and their children, their child rearing methods and attitude, and the political suggestions for the welfare in those families. The in-depth interviews were conducted for 7 women in Gyonggi-Do and Chungnam-Do on March 3-27, 2003. The interviewees were selected for the mothers whose children were enrolled either elementary schools or middle schools. The contents of interviews were receded to be analyzed by qualitative method. The results were as follows; first, female-headed single parent families were in low economic status with unstable employment condition. Secondly, women in that families were confronted with psychological problems because of their multiple roles and low income. Third, although they had a controlled child rearing method, they used much reinforcement and praise. Thirdly, they were in need of the aids for the basic life such as housings and their children's private institute expenses. Finally, they required the repealing of an existing birthright system.

본 연구는 저소득 모자가구주의 대부분이 일을 하고 있음에도 불구하고 경제적으로 여전히 어려운 노동빈민(working poor)으로서의 위치에서 벗어나지 못하고 있다는 문제의식 속에서 비롯되었으며, 저소득모자가구의 생활실태를 최근 사회과학 내에서 논의되고 있는 사회적 배제 개념을 이용하여 분석하고 이의 극복방안으로서 사회적 통합과 연대모색을 제안하였다. 구체적으로 본 연구는 남성가장을 중심으로 한 일반가구, 일반 모자가구, 사회적 빈곤선 이하에 놓인 저소득모자가구를 대상으로 각 가구유형별 특성과 생활실태를 비교분석하고 이를 통해 전반적인 모자가구의 사회적 배제과정을 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 2000년 지역사회복지협의회의 "사회복지욕구조사" 원자료를 이차분석(secondary analysis) 하였으며 총 3,182가구가 최종적으로 분석에 포함되었다. 연구결과에 의하면 전반적으로 모자가구는 일반모자가구, 저소득모자가구에 상관없이 고용형태, 주거형태, 소득, 소비생활 측면에서 일반(남성가장)가구에 비해 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 일반가구에 비해 모자가구는 가족으로부터 자원을 제공받기보다는 오히려 장애, 만성질환 등의 가족원을 보호해야 하는 상당한 부담을 안고 있었으며, 사회적 안전망에서도 모자가구는 전반적으로 제외되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 모자가구가 일반가구에 비하여 전반적으로 사회적으로 취약해지거나 고립될 가능성이 매우 높은 현실을 반영하며, 현재 공식적으로 빈곤층, 혹은 저소득층으로 분류되지는 않았지만 일반모자가구도 포괄적인 사회적 안전 망이 확립되지 않는다면 향후 저소득층으로 배제될 가능성이 매우 높다는 사실을 확인시켰다. 마지막으로 연구결과에 기초하여, 전체 모자가족의 사회적 배제를 극복할 수 있는 사회적 통합방안이 모색되었다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the social support network for divorced single mother families. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews with seven divorced single mothers who had at least one school-age child. Qualitative analysis of data showed that divorced single mothers evaluated themselves based on other people's perception. There were mainly three different kinds of self-images, which were “a competent divorced woman,” “a bad child to my parents,” and “a socially weak person.” We also found that there were two factors that influenced the everyday lives of single mothers: all of them .;offered hardships in living as a divorced woman with children, and they also had to deal with the weakened solidarity with family of origin, relatives, and neighbors. Single mothers shared common problems yet their lifestyles and adjustment strategies were diverse. Therefore, diverse social welfare policies for education and counseling for single mothers are urgently needed to support and empower divorced single mothers.

이 연구는 한부모가족의 특성에 따른 가족건강성의 차이를 분석하였다. 가족의 건강성은 오래전부터 생활과학, 가정관리학, 가족자원경영학 등 학문 분야에서 연구해 온 주제이다. 2004년 건강가정기본법 제정을 계기로 가족의 건강성은 순수한 연구주제에 국한되지 않고 정책의 방향성으로 그리고 현장의 사업에 적용되면서 연구 범주가 확장되었고 이를 통해 연구의 실천성도 함께 강화되었다. 따라서 가족의 건강성 척도를 적용하여 실태조사를 할 때 건강성에 영향 미치는 변수를 탐색할 수 있고, 이 결과에 토대하여 가족건강성 향상을 위한 대안을 마련할 수 있다. 이 연구는 2021년도에 개발된 한부모가족 건강성 척도를 사용하여 267명의 한부모가족 여성(어머니)을 대상으로 한 실태조사 자료를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한부모가족 생활 기간, 동거가족 유무, 전배우자와 교류, 근로 형태, 가구소득에 따른 한부모가족의 생활 영역별 건강성의 차이를 발견하였다. 연구결과에 근거한 제안점은 다음과 같다. 한부모가족을 위한 정책 설계나 사업 기획에서 한부모가족으로 산 기간을 고려하고 한부모가족 대상 요구조사에 한부모로 산 기간을 포함해야 한다는 점이다. 이를 통해 한부모가족으로 산 기간에 따른 가족의 특성과 요구를 파악할 수 있고 이 자료는 한부모가족을 위한 맞춤형의 사업에 반영될 수 있다. 나아가 전일제로 일하고 있는 한부모가족의 경우 가정경영과 생활설계 영역에서의 가족건강성 증진을 위해 가족자원경영학이 전문성을 가진 시간관리, 생애설계 등의 연구결과를 현장의 사업으로 전환하여 실천성을 강화할 필요가 있다.
