The purpose of this study was to investigate infants' development, parenting characteristics, and the infants' daily routines by monthly family income, and examine variables related to infants' development. The 2010 data of the panel study on Koreans were used. The sample for this analysis was 1,802 children aged 21-23 months and their parents. The data were analyzed with ANOVA, Pearson's correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS version 18.0. The results were as follows: First, the development of infants differed by the family income. Infants' communication and problem solving skills in families with an income at the 25th percentile or below was lower than those above the 25th percentile. Second, parenting characteristics differed by family income. In the lower income group, the mother's parenting stress was highest, but the father's parenting time on weekends was lowest. Third, the most frequent activity of infants differed by family income. Playing with friends or caregivers was lowest, but watching TV and videos was highest in the lower income family group. Fourth, there was a relation among infants' development (communication and fine motor skills) and parenting characteristics (mother's parenting style, stress, and father's parenting time on weekends), and the infants' daily routines (playing with friends or caregivers). Fine motor development was affected by playing with a caregiver.

This study aimed to explore the moderating effect of family strengths on the effect of work-family conflict on happiness in dual-income married couples. This study included 316 married employees who live in Seoul and have children attending junior high or lower grade schools. A survey was conducted December 1-30, 2018 by distributing questionnaires to child care centers, kindergartens, schools, companies, religious institutions, and other locations. The results are follows. First, in this study, the degree of family→work conflict was higher than that of work→family conflict in dual-income married couples, indicating that role conflict at work is greater due to family role pressures. Second, among the socio-demographic characteristics of dual-career couples, monthly income, family→work conflict (an independent variable), and family problem-solving skills (a moderating variable; a subcategory of family strengths) had a significant impact. In the analysis of the effect of work-family conflict on happiness, the higher the monthly income, the lower the family→work conflict, and the higher the family problem solving ability, the higher the feeling of happiness among dual-income married couples. When the work role conflicts from family life roles were more highly perceived in dual-income married couples. Moreover, family→work conflict and an interaction term of family problem-solving ability were identified as variables that had significant effects on happiness. Third, family problem-solving ability was identified as a moderator buffering the effect of work-family conflict on happiness.

This study was conducted to examine how family strengths are affected by parenting stress, socio-demographic factors and communication strategy, with a specific focus on mothers with young children. In total, 418 mothers of 4-5 years old children were included in this study. Higher education achievement was significantly related to higher communication strategy and better family strengths. However educational background had no effect on degree of parenting stress. Lower household income was related to higher parenting stress while higher income resulted in stronger family strengths. However family income showed no correlation with communication strategy. Lower parenting stress and higher communication strategy contributed to better family strengths, The most influential factor of family strengths was parenting stress.

This study examines how family and school social capital moderate the relation between family income and academic achievement. I use the data from the Korean Educational and Employment Panel(KEEP) on the third year middle school students in 2004. Results show that higher levels of family and school social capital, as well as financial capital such as family income are more positively associated with academic achievement. In addition, family and school social capital are served as moderators of the influences of family income on academic achievement. For example, higher parental concern about children and teacher-student bonding provides an extra boost to the positive relationship between family income and student achievement. Furthermore, lower educational expectations can make the relation between income and achievement negative. These findings underscore the importance of social capital at home and at school as the alternatives to promote academic achievement. In particular, greater concern and support encouraging social capital at home and school should be directed at low-income students who are struggling with academic achievement.

This study is for examining the differences of perceived stresses and family strengths between the parents according to socio-demographic backgrounds(age, educational level, income and the degree of disorder) of the parents having mentally retarded children. The results were as follows. First, in the overall perceived stress level, there was no difference between fathers and mothers, but when compared in stress areas, fathers experience more distresses in general interpersonal areas than mothers. Fathers also shows differences according to the degrees of their income and their perception about disorder compared with mothers showing differences according to the degree of income. Second, there were no differences in family strengths perceived by both fathers and mothers, but were significant differences according to the level of education and income. Another words, higher the education and income level, higher is their family strengths level. Third, there were positive correlations between the perceived stresses and family strengths, and significant differences in family strengths according to the stress level(higher/lower part of the group). In other words, when the perceived stress level is high, the level of perceived family strengths is low.

본 연구는 저소득층의 자살생각에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하고자 강원도 내에서 자활근로사업에 참여하고 있는 1,419명을 대상으로 한 설문 결과를 이용하였다. 이를 위하여 각 특성에 따른 자살생각의 차이에서 유의미한 차이를 보인 독거 여부, 주관적 경제상태, 가족 친구 이웃과의 연락빈도, 사회서비스 이용 여부, 만성질환 유무, 음주빈도, 우울 여부, 지인자살 여부, 자살시도 여부를 독립변수로 설정하여 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 이웃과의 연락빈도, 우울여부, 지인자살 여부, 자살시도 여부가 자살생각에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 저소득층인 자활근로자에 대한 연구에서 주관적 경제상태가 자살생각에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타나지 않은 것이 특이한 결과였다. 연구결과를 기반으로 자살에 취약한 저소득층 대상 자살예방과 관련된 시사점과 향후 연구방향을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the environmental factors and the family structure on the academic achievements of their children. Among various environmental factors, the family income, the affective relationship between mother and child, and the mother's educational involvement are considered. Total of 164 mothers with children attending elementary school completed the structured questionnaires. The degree of educational involvement of single mothers was lower than that of mothers of both parents families. In order to analyze factors that affect children's academic achievement, the path regression was performed. The family income and the mother-child affective relationship were found to have indirect effects on the academic achievements of elementary school students through maternal involvement in their children's education.

본 연구는 노인 소득원을 국가소득. 시장소득, 가구소득, 전체소득으로 구분하여 분담구조를 살펴보고, 노인특성에 따른 차이를 분석하여 노인특성에 맞는 노후소득보장체계 구축자료로 활용하기 위한 것이다. 분석결과 첫째, 노인 소득원은 시장소득이 305만원으로 가장 많았고, 국가 248만원, 가족 218만원의 순으로 시장에 많이 의존하고 있었다. 둘째, 인구사회학적 특성에 따라서는 남성노인이 여성보다 국가, 시장을 통해 소득을 많이 얻는 반면, 여성은 가족을 통해 많이 받고 있었다. 연령에 따라서는 시장소득은 젊은 노인일수록 월등히 많고, 가족소득은 고령 노인일수록 많았다. 시장소득이 많은 비중을 차지하는 노인소득구성의 특성상 경제활동을 할 수 있는 젊은 노인들의 전체소득이 많았다. 지역에 따라서는 국가소득, 가족소득은 도시화된 지역이 많은 반면, 시장소득은 읍면지역이 많았으며, 배우자 유 무에 따라서는 국가소득, 시장소득은 배우자가 있는 경우가 많은 반면, 가족소득은 없는 경우가 더 많았다. 셋째, 소득수준에 따라서는 국가소득, 시장소득은 고소득층이 가장 많은 반면 가족소득은 고소득층이 가장 적었다. 저소득층 노인의 경우 가족소득에 의존하고 있어서 빈곤상태가 지속될 가능성이 큰 것이다. 넷째, 건강상태에 따른 소득원별 차이를 분석한 결과 건강수준이 좋을수록 국가와 시장소득이 높고 낮을수록 가족 등 사적인 영역에 많이 의존하고 있었다. 이상의 분담구조별 차이는 요인분석결과에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 따라서 우리나라 노인은 시장과 가족소득 의존이 서구국가보다 높으며 여성, 저소득층, 건강상태가 나쁜 노인 등 취약한 특성을 가진 경우에 가족 시장소득에 많이 의존하고 있어서 공적소득지원체계의 보완이 필요하다.
