The purpose of this study was to analyze in detail the employment characteristics of the elderly over 65 years old and to compare those that have experienced no job change in the last 10 years with another group that have experienced job change at least once in the last 10 years. From the 10th wave data(KLIP), participants who were over 65 years old were chosen and their employment status for the last 10 years was reviewed. The results of this study were as follows: first, the analysis of demographic profiles indicated that householders and elderly couples with low education levels and low socioeconomic status were more likely to be employed compared to others. Second, in terms of work-related characteristics, it was revealed that the elderly who were employed tended to be non-paid workers, employers, and self-employed workers, primarily in the farming, fishing, forestry, and the mining industries, these were the elderly workers who had experienced job change three times or more in the last 10 years. Third, the analysis of economic characteristics indicated that elderly who were employed tended to rely more on private income transfers. Last, when the elderly who had experienced no job change in the last 10 years were compared to the elderly who had experienced job change in the last 10 years, the two groups differed significantly in terms of employment status, type of business, and occupation category.

이 연구는 우리사회에서 갈수록 심화되는 계층 간 교육격차를 극복하거나 완화하는 기제가 무엇인지 탐색하기 위하여 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 부모의 사회경제적 지위가 중학생 자녀의 학업성취에 미치는 직접적인 영향과 가정 내 사회자본의 한 형태인 부모의 정서적 지지, 그리고 학생 자신의 자아탄력성을 매개로 학업성취에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 한국 아동청소년 패널 조사의 중학교 1학년 코호트 1차 및 2차 년도 자료를 대상으로 구조방정식 모형을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 부모의 사회경제적 지위와 부모의 정서적 지지 및 중학생의 자아탄력성은 학업성취에 직접적으로 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다. 둘째, 가정 내 사회자본의 하나인 부모의 정서적 지지는 부모 사회경제적 지위의 영향을 받았다. 셋째, 가정의 사회경제적 지위는 학업성취에 대하여 직접효과가 있을 뿐만 아니라, 부모의 정서적 지지와 자아탄력성을 매개로 한 간접효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 부모의 정서적 지지를 보완하거나 학생의 자아탄력성을 강화함으로써 교육격차 극복에 기여할 수 있는 사회복지 프로그램의 개발을 위한 제언을 하였다.

This paper proposes a system that utilizes USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network), Bluetooth and smart phone to improve the function of senior houses. In typical approach, a system in a senior house either directly accesses the status of elderly people by its sensor or is alerted by elderly people who trigger an emergency bell, derive a decision and take an appropriate action. In addition, it is possible for a designated social worker to check the status of senior patients through monitoring system connected by UTP(Unshielded Uwisted Pair) cables, but the responsible person has to be present to monitor patients' status. However, the new system, suggested in this paper, embed Bluetooth function in a blood pressure gauge, thus the smart phone receives patients' health information such as blood pressure through Bluebooth, if any abnormal event occurs. Consequently, the smart phone sends SMS(Short Message Service) to a responsible social worker or a designated hospital. When this program in the paper becomes a reality, an unmanned system that is able to determine suitable actions for certain events will be established, even if a social worker were absence.

The analysis employed a sample of 764 elderly individuals residing in rural area. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, a chi-square test, a t-test, and a multiple regression analysis. First, the respondents reported moderate life satisfaction. Those respondents living alone were less likely to report life satisfaction than those with a spouse. Second, the respondents were more likely to be in contact with their neighbors than their adult children. Third, the respondents were more likely to receive social support from adult children than provide it to them. By contrast, the respondents were more likely to provide social support to neighbors than receive it from them. Fourth, economic status and contact with adult children and neighbors had signigicant effects on the life satisfaction of the respondents.

This study investigated the self-related and parental factors that influence depression in 204 adolescents from a low social economic status background. The self-related factors were self-trust and emotional regulation, and the parental factors were parental concern and domestic violence. The results showed that girls were more likely to be depressive, but had better emotional regulations and a closer relationship with their parents than boys. There was no significant difference between age groups with respect to parental concern, self-trust and emotion regulation. It was also found by regression analyses that girls' depression was predicted by both emotional regulation and parental concern while boys' depression was predicted only by self-trust. The finding suggested that intervention for boys' depression has to focus more on intrapersonal factors, but should emphasize interpersonal factors for girls.

가정폭력에 대한 사회적 관심은 가정폭력관련 방지법이 지난 7월부터 시행되면서 더욱 높아지고 있다. 그러나 우리 사회 전반의 가정폭력의 실태와 원인을 체계적으로 분석하는 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 한국 가정폭력의 실태 및 특성을 밝히기 위하여 전국 규모의 조사를 실시하였으며 특히, 사회계층적 변인과 아내구타와 관계를 집중분석하였다. 연구결과 우리나라의 가정폭력실태는 전체가정의 31.4%가 1년간 부부폭력을 경험하고 있었다. 이 수치를 전국가정수에 환산하여 추정하면 약 400만 가구가 폭력을 경험하고 있는 것으로 우리사회의 가정폭력의 정도가 매우 심각하다. 향후 우리 문화와 현실에 적절한 사회복지개입방법의 개발이 시급히 이루어져야 할 것이다.
