The purpose of this study is to understand how the economic conditions and needs of single-parent families are different between single-mother and single-father families, and also how they are dependent on household composition. The data for this study were drawn from the 1st Korea Welfare Panel Study and analyzed by frequencies, means, ${\chi}^2$, t-test, F-test, and logistic regression with the STATA 9.1 program. The major findings are as follows: (1) Single-parent families are more likely to live in a three-generation household than married couple families. (2) The composition of a three-generation household of single-parent families is affected by sex, age, education, type of marital disruption, the type of employment of single parents and the age of the last-born child. (3) The income-to-needs ratio is not significantly different depending on the sex of the single parents and their household composition. However, material hardship is significantly low in three-generation household single-parent families. (4) There are differences between three-generation single-parent families and independent single-parent families in income sources: The ratio of public transfer to total incomes is higher in three-generation households than independent households, while the ratio of private transfer to total incomes is higher in independent households.

The purpose of this study is to develop the group program model for reinforcing family relations of single-mother families as one approach to family welfare service. As previous research findings about problems of single parent families were reviewed and the framework for the program development was identified, a 6 sessions group program was planned and applied to 9 single-mother families from June 2nd to July 7th. Program evaluation questionnaire, Scales measuring powerlessness and FACESIII for family relations, social support network tool, and group process recording were used for the evaluation of this program. The participants evaluated this program as very supportive, useful, and educational. The powerlessness was reduced in a statistically meaningful way before and after the program and the result was found to be maintained for 4 months in the follow-up session. The family relations according to FACES III were mostly balanced and didn't show some significant change after the termination of this program. The single mothers had little concrete supports from others, if any, had some from relatives. They rather had to give supports for the other family members and reciprocally gave and took emotional or informational supports with friends or neighbors. Based on these results, the 2 step model consisted of brief group program and long term support group was developed and the practical methods were suggested for the single-mother families with low income.

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.

1990년대 중반부터 이혼율이 급증하여 한부모 가정이 증가하고 있다. 한부모 가정의 문제는 통상적으로 모자가정의 문제라고 인식되고 있지만, 본 연구는 최저소득층의 경우 모자가구의 형성자체가 어려워 편부가 자녀양육을 맡게 되고 따라서 편부의 사회경제적 지위가 편모에 비해 더 낮을 수도 있다는 가설을 제시하였다. 가설검증을 위해 2005년 센서스 2% 표본자료를 사용하였다. 먼저 12세 이하 아동표본을 바탕으로 한부모 가구 부모의 특성을 분석한 결과, 양친가구 모와 부, 별거가구 모와 부, 무배우 모와 부 중에서 무배우 부의 교육수준이 가장 낮았는데, 특히 중학교 이하의 비율이 가장 높았다. 무배우 모에 비해서 무배우 부의 취업률은 높지만 취업자만 볼 때 직업적 지위는 더 낮았다. 무배우 부가 속한 가구의 가구주도 무배우 모가 속한 가구의 가구주보다 교육수준이 낮았다. 다음, 분석에서 암시된 저소득여성의 자녀별거성향을 확인하기 위하여 12세 이하 자녀를 가진 이혼모 표본을 이용하여 자녀와 비동거하는 요인을 살펴보았다. 여성의 사회적 경제적 자원이 적을수록 자녀 비동거의 확률이 높다는 것이 확인되었다. 즉, 여성의 교육수준이 자녀 비동거와 뚜렷한 부의 관계를 보였고, 부모와의 동거가 자녀 비동거를 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 가구의 분포를 보면 무배우 모의 수가 무배우 부보다 더 많은 것이 사실이지만 한부모 가구의 사회경제적 지위가 일반적으로 양부모가구보다 현저히 낮다는 사실과 더불어 무배우 부 가정의 취약성에 주목할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 미국 저소득 미혼모가구의 사회적 지지가 아동의 문제행동과 인지능력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 스트레스-대응모델과 가족과정모델, 사회적 지지에 관한 이론적 관점을 기초로 사회적 지지가 아동발달에 영향을 제공하는 직접효과와 미혼모의 양육스트레스를 매개로 한 간접효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위해 미국 취약가족아동복지연구의 종단패널자료를 사용하였으며, 전체 1,315명의 저소득 미혼모가구와 빈곤아동이 분석에 사용되었다. 분석결과, 사회적 지지는 아동문제행동에 직접적인 영향을 제공하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 양육스트레스를 매개로 한 간접효과도 발견되었다. 반면에 사회적 지지는 아동인지능력에 직접적으로 유의미한 영향을 제공하지는 않으나 양육스트레스와 아동문제행동을 매개로 한 간접효과를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 저소득 미혼모가구의 경제적 환경을 개선하고 양육스트레스를 완화하기 위한 정책적 함의와 서비스방안에 대해 논의하였다.

The main purpose of the study is to identify critical risk factors for development of a family assessment tool to screen high risk family. This study used a conceptual framework of family diagnosis developed by Eui-sook Kim's (1993) and analyzed risk factors to identify the high risk family. As employing a explorative and methodological study design, this study has four stages. 1. In the first stage, 34 family risk factors were identified by doing intensive literature review on conceptual framework of family diagnoses. 2. In the second stage, above risk factors were tested for content validity by consultation with 29 persons in community health nursing, nursing education, family theory, and social work. 3. In the third stage, existing survey data was used for actual application of the identified risk factors. The survey data used for this purpose was previously collected for the community diagnosis in a region of Seoul. At the final stage, through the comparison between high risk and low risk families, initially identified 34 risk factors decreased to 25 risk factors. Among 34 risk factors, six factors did not agree with content of questionnaries sand two factors were not significant in differentiating the high risk family Also, two risk factors showed high correlation between themselves, so only one of those two factors was chosen. As a result, twenty-five risk factors chosen to identify the high risk family are following ; 1. A single parent family due to divorce or death of a partner, or unweded single mother 2. A family with an unrelated household members 3. A family with a working mother with a young child 4. A family with no regular income 5. A family with no rule in family or too strict rules 6. A family with little or no support from other lam-ily members 7. A family with little or no support from friends or relatives 8. A family with little or no time to share with each other 9. A family with family history of hypertension, diabetus, cancer 10. A family with a sick person 11. A family with a mentally ill person 12. A family with a disabled person 13. A family with an alcoholic person 14. A family with a excessive smoker who smokes more than 1 pack / day 15. A family with too much salt intake in their diet. 16. A family with inappropriate management skills for family health 17. A family with high utilization of drug store than hospital to solve the health problems of the family 18. A family with disharmony between husband and wife 19. A family with conflicts among the family members 20. A family with unequal division of labor among family members 21. An authoritative family structure 22. A socially isolated family 23. The location of house is not residential area 24. A family with high risk of accidents 25. The drinking water and sewage systems are not hygienic. The main implication of the results of this study is clinical use. The high risk factors can be used to identify the high risk family effectively and efficiently. The use of high risk factors woule contribute to develop a conceptual framework of family diagnosis in Korea and the list of risk factors need to be revised continuously. Further researches are needed to develop an index of weight of each risk factor and to validate the risk factors.
