The purpose of this study was to compare differences between essential tasks and delegable tasks among public kindergarten dietitians. A survey study was conducted through a self-administered online method from November 18 to December 28, 2019. The survey consisted of essential tasks and delegable tasks, including 6 Duties, 25 Tasks, and 94 Task Elements. The survey was distributed to a sample of 500 kindergartens in Korea, after excluding incomplete surveys and outliers, and a total of 224 responses were used for the analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to compare essential tasks and delegable tasks. The results show that 'Duty A. Nutrition Management', 'Duty B. Foodservice Management Practices', 'Duty C. Hygiene management of kindergarten foodservice', 'Duty D. Nutrition-Diet Education and counseling', and 'Duty F. Professionalism Enhancement' were recognized as essential tasks to be performed by kindergarten dietitians. All 16 tasks elements (100.0%) in 'Duty E. Managing snacks during semesters, and lunch/snack during breaks' were identified as delegable tasks. In conclusion, most tasks were recognized as essential tasks to be performed by kindergarten dietitians. On the other hand, 'Duty E. Managing Snacks during semesters, and lunch/snack during breaks' was considered a delegable task by public-attached kindergarten dietitians. It is recommended that public-attached kindergartens should consider additional workforce related to 'Duty E'. This study is expected to offer basic data on laws and regulations about the duties of kindergarten dietitians.

Korean domestic workers are trend to avoid harmful and dangerous jobs calls 3D work due to the poor working conditions. Therefore, the incoming population of foreign workers is increasing to fulfill the required labor force. Mostly these foreign workers are placed in small and medium-size industries. As work that induces musculoskeletal disorders(WMSD) is equally exposed to domestic workers as well as foreign workers, this study attempted to investigate the work burdened by musculoskeletal disorders and derive improvement measures by understanding the actual conditions of the worksites of foreign workers. The result of this investigation defines that the possibility of developing musculoskeletal disorders is very high in the environment in which more than 40% of the respondents work with heavy objects and repetitive work of wrists and elbows. To prevent the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders among foreign workers, three measures were proposed. To reduce the mandatory check-up period of WMSD under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, to revise the employment permit system, and to enhance the practical help of EPS education. Safety and health management of foreign workers is becoming an essential task not only for securing a workforce but also for the national image. Personal and economic losses at the national level should be minimized through policy support such as financial support for small and medium-sized businesses in Korea and supplementation of legal systems for the protection of foreign workers.

This study aimed to analyze the correlation between working from home and sleep disorders among domestic workers using data from the 5th Working Environment Survey in 2017. Out of the total 30,108 wage workers, 818 employees work from home and 4,090 work in an office. A random sample of 1:5 pairs, considering gender and occupational group, was selected from these employees as the study subjects. The analysis included personal characteristics, occupational characteristics, work-from-home arrangements, and sleep disorders. Age, education, employment status, years in the workforce, weekly working hours, work-life balance, self-perceived health, depression, and anxiety were all adjusted as potential confounding variables. Conditional logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between working from home (independent variable) and sleep disorder (dependent variable). This analysis aimed to analyze the correlation between working from home and sleep disorder. The analysis revealed that working from home was associated with sleep onset latency disorder OR=3.23 (95% CI=2.67~3.91), sleep maintenance disorder OR=3.67 (95% CI=3.02~4.45), and non-restorative sleep OR=3.01 (95% CI=2.46~3.67), which showed a statistically significant relationship with all three types of sleep disorders. Factors influencing the correlation between working from home and sleep disorders included work-life balance, social isolation, and anxiety.

The purpose of the study was to investigate the policy implication and a usage model for aging workforces of research and development field in the era of working age population decline and the introduction of the retirement age legislation. In spite the importance of the use for aging workforces of R&D, previous studies have not been taken in terms of R&D workforces. In addition, the activated policies and services was implemented for the aged and retired people. Therefore, we suggested the usage model in four folds: 1) internal employment model, which is to hire and employ pre-retired active workforces by their retirement age, 2) internal and external linkage model, which is to make them to depart from their previous workplaces and move them to new workplaces where they can apply their knowledge and skills, 3) extending retirement age model, which is to expand their age limit and provide their job opportunities after they left their work, and 4) ouplacement model, which is to provide them with employment information and service as well as operate the educational programs before they leave the workpalce. Finally, we suggested the update of legislation and law for old workers, government supports for retiring workforces, and the conversation and compromise between R&D workforces and managers of workplaces.
