이 논문은 중궁의 가족적 특성과 츨상력의 관계를 보다 면밀하게 알아보기 위해 사회 문화적 특성을 근간으로 하는 가구유형을 분류, 이들간의 출산수준을 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 1990년에 실시된 제 4 차 중국인구센서스 자료 중에서 조선족이 밀집하여 거주하고 있는 길림성내 연변 조선족자치주의 50% 표본자료를 활용하였다. 가구유형별 출산수준을 분석하기 위해 자료를 가구구성특성에 따라 네가지 유형으로 재구성하였다. 가족경제의 생산단위와 세대구성을 기준으로 고립형, 병렬형, 직계형, 전통형의 네가지 가구유형을 분류하여 각각의 유형별 특성에 따른 차별출산력을 한족과 조선족의 네가지 가구유형을 분류하여 각각의 유형별 특성에 따른 차별출산력을 한족과 조선족을 중심으로 비교해 보았다. 이를 통해 농가와 비농가의 가구형태 또는 세대구성의 성격아 출산수준과 갖는 상관관계와 이에 영향을 미치는 주요 결정요인들을 파악하는데 중점을 두었다. 또한 중국의 사회 경제적요인과 결부하여 전통적으로 유지되던 가족관이 어떻게 변화하고 있는지를 민족별 출산수준을 통해 비교해 보았다. 연구결과 가부장적 가족주의를 해체하고 집단적 공동생산 체제를 대체시키려는 중국의 사회주의 정책이 현실적으로는 가족중심의 생산체제와 전통적 가족주의를 변화시키지 못한 것으로 보인다. 특히 가구유형에 따른 출산수준의 편차는 두 민족간에 차이를 보여 주었다. 한족이 여성의 직업이나 교육수준에 따라 가구유형별 출산수준의 편차가 크게 변화되는 것과는 달리 조선족은 비교적 전통적인 세대관 이 강조되는 다가구 유형에서 높은 출산수준을 나타내는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이는 중국의 인구정책과 경제개방 시행과정에서 약소민족인 조선족의 저출산력과 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 이에 따라 가구 유형별 출산수준에 대한 영향력이 한족에 비해 적었던 것으로 지적할수 있다.

This study examined the effects of depression by household's economic factors with income levels using the wave 1, 2 of Korean Welfare Panel Study. As a result, changes in income satisfaction have significant effects on depression levels. In non-poor households, the income and comsumption expenditure have effects on depression levels. But poor households do not have any effects. Among the control variables, age, marital status, and education level are influential factors on the depression levels. Based on the results, the author was able to recognize the economic factors in household that influnce the depression levels. and The policy directios for household's economic support were discussed.

Previous studies on willingness to pay for digital content have mainly focused on audience factors and individual level. To complement the limitation of previous research, this study conducts a multilevel analysis to find the factors influence digital content purchases considering two axes: audience/media factors and individual/household levels. Using a sample of 10,172 individuals within 4,313 households, the analysis results show individual media factors including theater-going, experience with cloud services, and multi-screen service usage have the greatest effects on digital content purchases. At the household level, the media ownership factors that the number of laptops, wireless routers, and tablets have a greater influence than audience factors such as household size or household income. Our findings help scholars to enhance the understanding of individuals' media use considering household environmental factors and shed light on the importance of multi-screen service usage, and content providers to improve their digital content sales using multi-screen environment.

This study intends to verify the poverty characteristics of the rural elderly households so as to provide more specific data for the intervention of social welfare in the improvement of quality of life of the rural elderly. According to my study of the absolute poverty ratio, the poverty gap, the relative poverty ratio, the subjective poverty ratio, the subjective economic level and the life satisfaction level of the rural elderly households in comparison with those of the other groups, the conclusion is as follows: First, the total living cost of the rural elderly households is rather low with the food cost taking about 30% of the total living cost. Second, in terms of the poverty ratio based on socio-demographic characteristics, higher poverty ratio show among women, older people and households of fewer members. Third, 82.2% of the rural elderly households living with an income below the minimum living cost is found around the poverty line. Fourth, the rural elderly households show a comparatively higher poverty ratio than the other groups in the absolute and relative poverty, but lower economic strain than other groups in the subjective poverty ratio and life satisfaction level. In short, the rural elderly households' poverty level is generally high and therefore need ways of active economic supports, while a political approach to the subjective needs of the regional and intergenerational groups is also required.

This study aims to analyze multiple mediating effects of asset and self-esteem on the relationship between disability of household head and life satisfaction. This study used 9th panel data of KoWePS(Korean Welfare Panel Study) and employed path analysis with A-MOS. Research findings of this study are as follows: First, disability of household head had a negative effect on life satisfaction, total assets, and self-esteem. Second, we found not full but partial mediating effects of assets on the relationship between disability and life satisfaction. Third, similarly we found not full but partial mediating effects of self-esteem on the relationship between disability and life satisfaction. Finally, we found multiple partial mediating effects of assets and self-esteem on the relationships between disability and life satisfaction. The findings of this study suggest that financial education as well as asset management targeting persons with disability are necessary and very helpful to sustain their life satisfaction. In addition, we need to think about asset-building programs targeting persons with disability.

This study aims to explore the longitudinal reciprocal relationship between family conflict and depression level of household head. Using the Korean Welfare Panel study (KOWEPS) of 2006-2009, the study applied multiple regression analysis and autoregressive cross-lagged model to test the hypothesis. Results of multiple regression analysis indicate that single direction of the impact of family conflict on a head of household's levels of depression and the vise versa were statistically significant. That is, higher level of family conflict in 2006 caused an increased levels of depression of household head in 2009, controlling gender, age and depression level in 2006. Also, the higher level of depression of household head in 2006 increased the level of family conflict in 2009 fixed with same control variables. The autoregressive and cross-lagged coefficients of family conflict and a head of household's levels of depression were statistically significant during the 4 years. The findings support the family system theory, indicating that there are reciprocal causal relationships between the whole family conflict and individual depression level. The strategies of social welfare practice and policy should thus aim to decrease individual's levels of depression and improve positive family function simultaneously to break the vicious circle.

This study analyzed the dynamic changes in the energy poverty structure of all households, elderly households, and single-person households in Korea. To this end, a TIP curve was derived and the focus was on changes in energy poverty intensity and poverty incidence. For the data, annual and quarterly data on fuel costs from the National Statistical Office's Household Income and Expenditure Survey were used. And the results were presented using data from the first quarter, where the energy poverty problem can be prominent due to the high proportion of heating costs among the four quarters. As a result of the analysis, there was no clear improvement in poverty intensity and poverty incidence over time in the analysis of all households. However, the analysis of elderly and single-person households showed improvement in poverty intensity and poverty incidence over time. In particular, in the results of the analysis using the data for the first quarter, the poverty intensity and poverty incidence of elderly and single-person households improved remarkably. In addition, the poverty intensity and poverty incidence of the elderly and single-person households were larger than the all households, and the energy poverty of single-person households was more severe than that of the elderly households.
