The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of caregiving burden of a developmentally disabled child on marital conflict and to examine the moderating effects of social support and social activities. For the purpose, a total of 124 mothers of developmentally disabled children who were enrolled at specialized school in Incheon were surveyed from May 15, 2011 to May 31, 2011 by using self-reported questionnaires. Our analysis on the data suggested as follows: first of all, the burden from caregiving a developmentally disabled child was a significant predictor of marital conflict. In addition, informal social support and participation in social activities moderated the relationship between the caregiving burden and marital conflict. Based on the findings, we provide measures to resolve the family problems of those with a disabled child.

Family caregiving to the elderly is one of the most important social issues in recent Korea. Among various kinds of family caregivers, spouse caregivers particularly constitute a special group, generally characterized by continuous intimate association with the care recipients at many levels and by special commitments and responsibilities associated with the marriage bond. And the number of spouse caregiver is expected to increase in the future. Moreover, since a conjugal relation is consisted of husband and wife, their caregiving experiences and caregiving burden may vary by gender. Thus, the present study was to examine the effect of caregiving experience, especially caregiving motivation and social support focusing on the gender differences. We analysed 「2001 Survey of Care-giving Status and welfare Needs of Older Persons in Korea」 data by performing descriptive statistics, t-test and logistic regression. As a result, we found that the husband was likely to feel more burden when he started caregiving because of few alternatives. For wife caregivers, the less awareness of social support they had, the more possibility of economic burden they felt. With these results, we suggest the necessity of having gender-sensitive perspective in research and policy making for caregivers.

OECD등 국제기구와 현재 국회에 계류 중인 물 관리기본법 제정(안)등에서 물 이용자에 대한 수익자 부담 원칙을 요구하고 있어, 농업용수의 대부분을 관리하고 있는 한국농어촌공사 관리지역의 농업용수 이용료(구 조합비) 면제에 대한 문제점이 제기되고 일부 전문가들 사이에서도 농업용수 이용료 부과의 필요성이 지속적으로 제기되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 시점에서 과거 농업용수 이용료(구 조합비) 부과 및 면제의 역사를 살펴보고, 농업용수 및 농업 농촌의 특성을 고려한 농업용수 이용에 따른 수익자 부담원칙에 대하여 검토하였다. 농업용수 이용료는 1908년 수리조합이 시작된 이후 1999년까지 조합비 형태로 부과하다가 2000년 농업용 수관련 3개 기관이 공사로 통합하면서 면제가 되었고, 지난 10년 동안 외부(OECD 등)의 요구뿐만 아니라 내부적으로도 농업용수관리 비용증가로 인한 이용료 부과가 필요하다는 주장이 제기되었다. 한편 이용료 부과시 농업인 경제적 부담증가, 농업용수관리 정책의 혼선, 농업인 반발로 인한 사회문제화, 이용료 징수의 실효성 및 실익성에 대한 문제가 발생될 수 있다. 따라서 농업용수이용에 대하여 단순히 수익자 부담원칙 준수를 요구만 할 것이 아니라 면제에 대한 역사적, 사회경제적인 배경과 농업 농촌의 특성을 이해하고 국내외적으로 대두되는 수익자 부담원칙에 대하여 어떻게 합리적인 방법과 사회적인 합의를 이끌어 낼 것인가 장기적인 연구와 검토가 필요하다. 또한 비용부담측면만이 아니라 농업인의 물 관리 참여(PIM, Participatory Irrigation Management)등을 통한 수익자부담 원칙 달성 및 비용절감을 유도할 수 있는 제 3의 방안을 찾아야 한다.

지금까지 사회보장제도(社會保障制度)의 경제적(經濟的) 효율성(效率性)에 대한 많은 논의가 있어 왔다. 그러나 그중 생애주기(生涯週期)(life-cycle)에 바탕을 둔 일반균형연산모형(一般均衡演算模型)(AGE : Applied General Equilibrium)에 의환 경험적 분석은 미진하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)의 목적(目的)은 사회보장제도(社會保障制度)의 세대내(世代內) 생애소득분위간(生涯所得分位間) 재분배효과(再分配效果)와 경제적(經濟的) 효율성(效率性)을 분석하는 데 있다. 연구방법으로서 Fullerton and Rogers(1993) 모형을 수정한 일부문(一部門), 다소비자(多消費者) 생애주기(生涯週期) 일반균형연산모형(一般均衡演算模型)을 이용하였다. 본 연구는 미국을 대상으로 한 정상상태(定常狀態)(steady state)의 분석이며, 소비자(消費者)를 생애소득별(生涯所得別)로 5분위(分位)로 나누어 기존 사회보장세(社會保障稅) 및 급여(給與)가 경제적(經濟的) 효율성(效率性)뿐만 아니라 계층간(階層間)의 분배(分配)에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 분석하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)의 주요한 기여사항(寄與事項)은, 첫째 사회보장제도(社會保障制度)의 부담귀착분석(負擔歸着分析)에 새로운 연구방법(硏究方法)을 시도하였다는 점, 둘째 재정정책(財政政策)의 하나인 사회보장제도(社會保障制度)의 실질적(實質的) 부담(負擔)의 귀착문제(歸着問題)를 생애주기모형(生涯週期模型)으로 분석하였다는 점, 셋째 부담(負擔)의 귀착(歸着)은 사회보장세(社會保障稅)와 아울러 사회보장급여(社會保障給與)를 고려하여 분석하지 않으면 편향(偏向)(biased) 될 수 있다는 점을 지적한 점, 넷째 분석결과(分析結果) 기존 사회보장제도(社會保障制度)는 생애주기적(生涯週期的) 소득분배(所得分配)의 관점에서 누진적(累進的)(progressive)인 제도이지만 경제적(經濟的) 비효율성(非效率性)(efficiency cost)을 내재하고 있다는 점 등을 밝힌 것이다.

This study examined the economic burden of middle age householders supporting their family. They could not prepare for their later life because they are supporting their parents and children in their unstable employment. This study examined how to decrease the burden of middle age householders. Using the Korea Welfare Panel Study, this study analyzed data by hierarchical regression. The result showed that age, gender, education, unemployed, ownership of the house, number of employees, monthly income, and family relationship satisfaction had an effect on the economic burden of support by middle age householders. Based on the result, the researchers offered political suggestions for decreasing the levels of economic burden of support by middle age householders.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of psychological factors on caregiver burden and depression among Korean spousal caregivers. 142 spousal caregivers (89 wives, 52 husbands) in Seoul and Incheon City were surveyed to determine the influence of objective factors of the care recipient, demographic of the caregiver, personality dimensions of extroversion and neuroticism of caregiver, social support, and pre-caregiving marital satisfaction on caregiver burden and depression of spousal caregivers. Hierarchical regression was used to determine the influence of the various factors on caregiver burden and depression. Finding suggest that care recipient's activities of daily living(ADL) and caregiver neuroticism predicted caregiver burden, whereas pre-caregiving martial satisfaction and caregiver neuroticism predicted depression. In particular, psychological factors were better predictors of caregiver burden and depression compared with objective factors. Based on the results, the implications, interventions, limitations and future directions for research were discussed about the psychological factors on spousal caregiving.

The purpose of this study is to examine the Influence of burden of care for families of the mentally disabled on the quality of life and the moderating effect of family resilience and social support. This study carried out a survey of 102 families of the mentally disabled registered in the mental health centers and social rehabilitation facilities in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon areas. As a result, first, the burden of caring for families of the mentally disabled has a negative impact on the quality of life. Second, family resilience has a moderating effect on the relationship between the burden of care and the quality of life of families of the mentally disabled. The subscales of family resilience were all buffered. Finally, social support has proved to be moderating in the relationship between the burden of care and the quality of life. Based on the results of this study, it was suggested that the need for providing information for improving the resilience of the family is needed, and the institutional support to mitigate the economic burden of the mental disabled family's social support network is needed.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of perceived care-related burden and social support on life satisfaction and the moderating effect of social support from elderly spouses caring for their elderly partners with dementia. The subjects were 165 spouses aged over 60 years, caring for their elderly partners afflicted with dementia, and living in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The analysis results are as follows: First, the quantified total care-related burden shouldered by the participant spouses was 3.76 points (SD = .57), which was slightly higher than the median value. In the case of social support, informal support was scored 2.65 (SD = .78), and formal support was scored 2.60 (SD = .77), which was lower than the median value. Life satisfaction earned a score of 3.11 points (SD = .78), which somewhat exceeded the median. Second, subjective health status, income level, burden from social activity, and informal support influenced life satisfaction. Put differently, the higher the subjective health status of a caring spouse, the higher the income level, the lower the social activity burden, the stronger the informal support, and the greater the life satisfaction. Third, the interaction terms of social activity burden and informal support were significant. Therefore, informal support had a moderating effect on the relationship between social activity burden and life satisfaction among the elderly with dementia. In other words, even though the caring spouses experienced a burden from social activities, the higher the frequency with which they accessed informal support, the lower the decrease in life satisfaction.

As quickly becoming an ageing society in Korea, this study aims to investigate how family caregivers' burden with demented patients and social supports are related to their health and quality of life, and the interaction of caregiving burden and social supports on caregivers' health and quality of life. The participants were 207 family caregivers (106 females) of demented patients lived in Seoul, Kyunggi, and Chungcheong areas, whose average of age were 51.62 ( SD=9.25). The psychological tests used in this research included the following: Multidimensional Caregiver Burden Inventory, Chon's Physical Symptom Questionnaire, Hahn & Jang's Perceived Health Inventory, Negative Affect Self-Statement Questionnaire, and the Korean Version of Cambell's Subjective Well-being Scale, Social Support Survey in Medical Outcomes Study, and Kwon's Questionnaire for Maladjusted Problems of Demented. Results indicated that caregivers' burden with demented patient related to physical symptoms and depression positively, and perceived health and subjective well-being negatively. Social supports showed moderate effects on influences of caregiving burden in perceived health, depression, and subjective well-being of family caregivers with demented patients. It was identified the possibility of their buffering effect on negative results of caregiving burden with demented patients. Since caregiving burden accounted for the 34% of the variances for family caregivers' physical symptoms and depression, researchers discussed the promotion and intervention of their health and quality of life. Beside of different effects of social supports with level of caregiving burden, with previous studies it was discussed some saliant findings such as family caregivers with patients who showed severe dementia symptoms were perceiving even less supports from others.

환경개선용수 공급을 위한 비용부담원칙은 수익자부담원칙, 오염자부담원칙 및 공공부담이 있다. 수익자부담원칙이란 공공재 혹은 공공서비스의 공급을 그 재화나 서비스로부터 혜택을 받는 주체가 부담해야 한다는 원칙이다. 수익자 부담원칙은 수익자가 아닌 자를 비용부담으로부터 제외한다는 것을 내포한다. 원인자부담원칙이란 공공사업이 필요하게 되는 원인을 제공한 자가 그 재화와 서비스의 비용을 부담해야 한다는 원칙이다. 원인자부담 원칙이 적용되는 상황은, 원인자가 특정행위나 활동을 통해 다른 경제주체에 피해를 주고 이 피해가 공공사업에 의해 상쇄될 때이다. 수자원의 개발과 이용에서 상 하류의 복수 지자체들이 서로 긴밀하게 연계되어있는 광역수계의 경우에는 환경개선용수 확보비용의 부담과 관련하여 수익자 부담원칙이나 원인자 부담원칙이 별개로 적용되기 어려운 점이 많이 있다. 환경개선용수에 대한 공공부담의 경우 공익적 측면이 강하다는 점을 전제로 한다. 국가전체적인 차원에서 환경개선용수를 사용하는 경우나 하천생태계 보호나 하천수질개선을 위해 환경개선용수를 사용하는 경우;사회적으로 필요한 환경재인 환경개선용수를 국가에서 비용을 부담하여 공급하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구는 환경개선용수 공급에 있어 적용할 수 있는 비용부담원칙을 제시하였다.
