This study examined the effects of informal grandparent-provided child care and support on married women's additional birth plans. This study applied panel data analysis to three waves of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF) and obtained two major findings, as follows. First, having a mother-in-law and co-residing with parents-in-law had a positive influence on married working women's additional birth plans. Child care provision from the parents of a married working woman also positively influenced her additional birth plans. Second, the analysis showed that housework assistance from a woman's mother-in-law or mother had no effect on her birth plans in both models investigated: the additional birth plan model for all women, both employed and unemployed, and the additional birth plan model for only working women. In conclusion, the findings of this study demonstrated that child care availability, with grandparents as the trusted providers, is a more important factor in married women's additional birth plans than housework assistance from their mothers-in-law and mothers.

본 연구는 저소득층 조손가정의 조부모와 손자녀의 일상을 파악하는 동시에 저소득층 조손가정을 위한 에듀케어 프로그램이 조부모와 손자녀에게 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 에듀케어 프로그램에 참여한 저소득층 조손가정의 조부모 10인과 손자녀 아동 10인을 대상으로 약 5개월에 걸쳐 심층면담을 실시하였다. 에듀케어 프로그램 실시 후 조부모는 학습 지도 및 양육 기술의 향상과 심리적인 안정을 경험하였으며, 손자녀의 경우 학습역량 및 학습동기의 증진과 함께 진로를 위해 공부가 필요하다는 인식의 변화를 경험하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 저소득층 조손가정을 위한 실질적 지원으로 조부모와 손자녀 요구에 맞춘 통합 지원 프로그램, 수준별 교육과정, 인적 자원의 지지와 지원의 필요성에 대한 시사점을 얻을 수 있었다.

Objective: The present study examined the perspectives of grandparents raising their grandchildren in an attempt to better understand grandparents' child-rearing experience while providing kinship foster care to their primary-grade grandchildren. Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with eight grandparents who have raised one or two primary-grade (ages 8-10) grandchildren using a qualitative approach. Results: First, the participants viewed the reason for their kinship foster care as a failure for caring for their own children and accepted the present grandparent-care provision as their responsibility. Second, the participants communicated constant struggles with their own health and grandchild-care as well as positive/negative emotions associated with the care provision. Third, most of the participants did not fully understand the developmental needs of their primary-grade grandchildren. Fourth, the participants articulated concerns for their primary-grade grandchildren's learning, peer interactions, school adjustment, and extra-curricular activities. Lastly, the participants all agreed on hoping to raise grandchildren with good personality traits as members of a society and to have them fill the gap from the loss of their parents. Conclusion: Although most participants accepted the current circumstances as their obligation, they still noted difficulties in child-care provision. Given the developmental needs of grandchildren and the resource needs of grandparents, proper and continuous intervention approaches should be developed/provided.
