This study examined the time spent, the satisfaction level and the policy needs regarding child care by mother's employment status in Incheon. For this study, mothers with at least one child under the age of five were analyzed. The major results of this study include: First, unemployed mothers spent more time for child care than employed mothers. Second, unemployed mothers had significantly higher levels of satisfaction with child care than employed mothers, but only in the domain of physical care. Finally, the policy needs among mothers differed by their employment status while the financial support need for using a child care facility was high for both groups. This may be due in part to the increased likelihood of sending their child to a facility as their child ages, and the high cost of child care in Incheon. Based on the findings, policy implications are discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of mothers' parenting beliefs and supportive interaction on maternal parenting stress. It also examined variations of the results by household income levels and mothers' employment status. Participants of the study were 770 mothers of children aged 23-31 months who were a part of the 2010 wave of the National Survey for Panel Study on Korean Children. The analyses revealed that parenting stress was affected by mothers' parenting beliefs and supportive interaction. Mothers' supportive interaction has been shown significantly to predict parenting stress in all four groups of this study. The results demonstrated that the strength of the relationship between parenting stress and parenting beliefs and reciprocal interaction varied based on the combination of income and work status. These findings suggested that income and employment status are important to examine collectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in Korean 4-year-olds' cognitive development depending on variables concerning ecological system variables, predictive influences among these variables, and different predictive patterns between working mothers and non-working mothers. The subjects consisted of 998 4-year-olds, derived from the Korean Child Panel data of 2012. The results were as follows: First, 4-year-olds' cognitive development was different depending on their sex, education level of mother and father, mothers' working status, quality of home environment, and mothers' involvement in children's life in their institution. Second, mothers' involvement in children's life in their institution, children's sex, quality of home environment, and mothers' working status predicted 4-year-olds' cognitive development. Third, there was a different pattern of predictive influence among variables according to the mothers' working status. The mothers' involvement in their children's lives in their institution and children's sex was proved to be important in both, but that was more significant in working mothers, and the quality of home environment predicted cognitive development only in working mothers. These results were discussed in terms of necessity of the Korean national policy to support young children's cognitive development efficiently, especially for working mothers.

The primary objectives of this research is to identify (1) demographic characteristics and job needs of women with disabilities in Korea and (2) factors that predicts the degrees of their job needs. This study uses the data based on interviews with 805 disabled women selected randomly from the registered disabled women in Seoul, Kuyngki-Do, Pusan, and Kuyngsangnam-Do. In the aspect of disabilities, this study showed that more than half of disabled women in our sample have very severe disabilities (1st degree and 2nd degree of disabilities) and needs others' help in their daily lives. In the demographic aspect, this study found that disabled women's education level is very low and their monthly income is also very low. This study also found that in spite of their disabilities and functional limitations, more than 3/4 of disabled women have needs about jobs. Finally, using logistic regression analysis, this study found that disabled women's type of disabilities, dependencies in daily life, age, job experiences, job training experiences, willingness for independence, and parental attitude about disabled women's future are statistically significant in predicting the degree of their job needs. This study will contribute to developing knowledge about disabled women's characteristics and provide practical implications for intervention strategies and assistance programs related to promoting their welfare.

The purpose of this study was to provide information necessary to strengthen maternal role adaptation of employed mothers by identifying factors affecting maternal role adaptation of employed mothers with young children. The subjects of this study were convenience extracts from 137 employed mothers with infants under 24 months of residence in H city, Gyeonggi-do. Data were processed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis. As a result of the study, maternal role adaptation was positively correlated with mother attachment(r=.488, p<.001) and social support(r=.718, p<.001). Social support(β=.616), baby status at birth(β=.123), current breastfeeding status(β=.127) and maternal attachment degree(β=.141) affect the maternal role adaptation of employed mothers. The explanatory power of regression analysis was 55.5%(F=43.487, p<.001). As a result of the study, social support was found to be the most important factor influencing maternal role adaptation of employed mothers. Various intervention strategies for promoting social support in families, workplaces and communities are required for maternal role adaptation to employed mothers.

본 연구의 목적은 청년 대학 졸업자 취업 성공 요인 분석과 수도권과 비수도권의 결정 요인 비교를 통해 대학의 취업 지원을 전략과 방향을 제시하는 것이다. 이를 위해 2019년 대졸자 취업경로이동조사 자료를 활용하여 개인특성, 학교특성, 진로선택 및 취업프로그램 참여, 취업 준비 활동 경험을 독립변수로 하고 취업 성공 여부를 종속변수로 하여 취업 성공 요인을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 서울·수도권 대졸자는 개인특성 중 연령, 부모자산, 어학연수 경험이 취업 성공(+) 요인이었고, 대학특성은 2~3년제 대졸자가 4년제, 교육대 대졸자 보다 취업성공 가능성이 높았다. 진로선택 및 취업프로그램 참여 중 직장체험, 면접·이력서 작성이 취업 성공(+)요인으로 직업심리검사는 취업 성공(-) 요인으로 나타났다. 취업준비활동 경험 중 SSAT 자격증, 공모전 수상, 대외활동, 이력서·면접훈련은 취업 성공(+) 요인으로 졸업 전 구직활동, NCS 준비, 외모관리는 취업 성공(-)요인으로 나타났다. 반면, 비수도권 대졸자는 개인특성 중 연령, 부모자산이 취업 성공(+)요인이었고, 2~3년제 대졸자가 4년제, 교육대 대졸자 보다 취업성공 가능성이 높았다. 진로선택 및 취업프로그램 참여 중 직장체험, 면접·이력서 작성이 취업 성공(+)요인으로, 직업심리검사, 기업채용설명회는 취업 성공(-)요인으로 나타났다. 취업준비활동 경험 중 봉사활동, 공모전 수상, 대외활동, 모의면접은 취업 성공(+)요인이었고, 졸업 전 구직활동, 자격증, 외모관리는 취업 성공(-)요인이었다. 이를 바탕으로 4년제 대학의 비교과 활동 강화, 취업환경과 유사한 실무능력 배양 교육, 면접·이력서 작성 등 실제적 취업지도 프로그램 시행을 제시하였고, 봉사활동, 대외서포터즈, 공모전 등 취업처에 실무능력을 보여줄 수 있는 실무활동 참여를 지원하는 방안 등을 제시하였다.

This study examined the relationship between maternal employment, maternal job characteristics, spousal support and parenting stress, using a sample of 502 mothers (207 employed and 295 nonemployed mothers) who had 1st and 2nd grade children. The participants completed a set of questionnaires. Data were analyzed by means of Pearson's correlation, simple regression analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Our results indicated that maternal employment was not significantly related to parenting stress. It was also found that employed mothers experienced less parenting stress when they perceived greater job satisfaction and higher spousal support. Lastly, spousal support moderated the impact of job satisfaction on employed mothers' parenting stress, indicating that the relationship between job satisfaction and parenting stress was stronger for the high spousal support group than for the low spousal support group.
