도시 취업모의 탁아유형 실태에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to get the data on the day-care type of the employed mothers in urban area and to make it improve the day care service program. I classified day care type into four classes accoding to existing one. And we surveyed 401 employed mothers with the child under age of six who lived at Seoul. the major results were as follows; 1) Most of employed mothers felt the burden of day care expenses and payed it of their own earning 2) The common type of day care is 'by family' and the users of this type more satisfied with the condition than any other types. 3) the difficulty of day care is that can't apply the tool and materials sufficiently, except day care center, 4) The reason that they use day care center or not is thier family. 5) Accoding to child age, family composition, educational level, job, income level, employed mothers choose day care type differently. So I suggest the social support for the employed mothers.
