형제수, 출산순위, 출산터울, 모성의 출산시 연령 등 가족형성 양상은 아동의 신체적 발육 성장 및 지능발달과 강한 관련성을 보여 왔음이 세계 여러나라 아동을 대상으로 수행된 연구에서 보고되었다. 본 연구는 형제수와 출산순위, 그리고 출산시 모성의 연령은 아동의 신체적 지능적 발달과는 역상관관계를, 출산터울의 길이는 순상관관계를 나타낼 것이라는 가설을 증명하고자 1984년 한국중학생 1,2,3학년 약 46,000명을 대상으로 수행되었다. 지역별 그리고 사회경제적 상태별 비교를 위하여 서울시 고소득층이 주로 거주하는 학구내의 중학교와 저소득층이 거주하는 학구내 중학교 각각 5개를 선정하고 강원도내 전형적 농촌의 중학교 12개를 선정하여 신장, 체중, 좌고, 혈구용적 지능지수를 측정하였다. 이들 측정치들의 평균은 학부모와 담임선생님의 도움으로 작성된 가족형성 변수별로 비교되었으며 다중 희귀분석과 부분상관분석으로 연관성의 통계적 유의성을 검정하였다. 동일연령의 신체적 발육성장 지표들은 도시의 고소득지역 아동들이 가장 우수했으며 다음이 도시저소득 지역 아동이었고 농촌아동이 가장 빈약하였다. 남녀별 신체적 발육지표들의 차이는 연령이 많을수록 더 현저했으며 연령별 지역별 차이는 남학생에게서 더 두드러졌다. 평균 지능지수는 도시고소득지역 남학생들이 월등히 높아 114.8인데 비해 도시저소득지역 남학생들은 106.1, 그리고 농촌 남학생들은 105.3이었다. 남학생보다는 여학생의 지능지수가 낮았는데 이것은 대만 아동들도 여학생이 모든 연령에서 남학생보다 낮았다는 보고와 일치하였다. 한편 도시저소득지역과 농총지역 학생들은 남녀모두 평균지능지수가 비슷하였다. 가족형성변수들은 혼란변수들은 모든 제어했을 경우에도 아동들의 신체적 지능적 발달에 독립적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 발육지표중에 지능지수와 형제수가 가장 가족형성 변수들과의 연관성이 강했다.

The study starts from the critical thought on why most of female-headed single-parent families are under poverty regardless of their hard working. The study is to explore the lives of low-income single-parent families as working poor and to develop comprehensive policies for them out of poverty and other social vulnerability, using the concept of social exclusion which has been broadly introduced in the field of social science. Specifically, the study aims to analyse the process of social exclusion of low-income single-parent households, by comparing the differential lives in the economic, social, political aspects among male-headed dual-parent household, female-headed single-parent household, and poor female-headed lone-parent household who is under the public poverty line. The study was based on the secondary data analysis. A total of 3182 samples(the first 2508, the second 235, and the third 439) were included. Using SAS 6.12, frequency, chi-square, means, and ANOVA were utilized for the statistical analysis. Results show that single mothers, on the whole, are vulnerable population in terms of employment, housing stability and income. Also, low-income households of single mothers are more negatively affected by the IMF economic crisis and carry more pessimism on their future. In comparison with male-headed households, single mothers have fewer support from social insurance as well as family resources and higher burdens of additional caring need for the old, the disabled, and the chronically ill. These findings identify the reality in which female-headed households with dependent children are exposed to the overall social vulnerability and thus are easily trapped into the social disadvantaged. finally, the study suggests the development of comprehensive policies and counter-measurements for low-income female-headed families to be the primary member in our society.

본 연구의 목적은 영구임대주택 거주 가구가 주거비에 대해 느끼는 부담 정도와 주거비 부담을 경감하기 위한 행동을 어느정도하고 있는지를 파악해서 영구임대주택의 효율적인 유지 및 관리에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공함에 있다. 본 연구 결과 대부분의 가구가 주거비 부담을 느끼고 있고, 가족원수가 적을수록, 세대주 연령이 높을수록, 직업종사상 지위가 낮을수록 총소득이나 주거비가 적을수록, 총소득에 대한 주거비 비율이 높을수록, 주거비 부담을 많이 느끼고 있는, 다른 변수를 통제했을 때 총소득만이 주거비 부담에 유의한 영향력을 미쳤다. 주거비 부담을 경감하기 위한 행동은 대부분의 가구가 최선을 다하고 있고, 가족 원수가 적을수록, 세대주 연령이 높을수록, 총소득이 적을수록, 주거비 부담이 클수록, 주거비 부담 경 감행동을 더 많이하고 있다. 중다회귀분석 결과는 세대주 연령이 높고 주거비 부담을 많이 느끼는 가구가 주거비 부담을 줄이기 위한 노력을 더 많이 하고 있다.
