The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of social work intervention for the family caregivers of the older persons with stroke. Twelve caregivers were assigned to either a treatment group or a control group. The treatment group intervention consisted of 8 weekly, 2-hour sessions which included education, peer and professional support, individual counselling. Wilcoxon test of the pretest and posttest scores of the two groups showed that those in the treatment program experienced significant decrease in caregiving burden and loneliness compared with caregivers who received no intervention. They also experienced increase in self-esteem, self-efficacy in dealing with caregiving tasks, satisfaction with a relationship with the care-receiver, emotional support. Most of these intervention effects were maintained in the 3-month follow-up measurement except loneliness and the caregiver-carereceiver relationship. Caregivers in the treatment group showed overall satisfaction with the program and willingness to continue to attend in the interventions. Based on these findings, implications for social work practice including self-help groups, psychotherapy for the caregivers, expanding social work intervention for the family caregivers of the older persons were discussed.

This study examines whether formal home care has led to a reduction in family member's allocation of time to care of elderly and changing the allocation of other time: informal care, market work, leisure, etc. Long-term care for the elderly is not the entire burden of elderly families anymore due to the increasing of the formal home care service for elderly since mid-2000's. This study uses triple difference(DDD) methods for evaluating policy reforms when reforms are equally and nation-wide accessible and analyzes data from the 2004 and 2009 Time Use Survey Data of the National Statistical Office in Korea. The treatment group is composed of the families of the elderly who need care and low- and middle- income family. Controlling for demographic characters, the three-way interaction term has statically significant and negative impact on care time of family members in treatment group statistically significant. The results reveal that the policy changes in elderly home care service affect time allocation of family members with old adults, which decreases caregiving time in a daily life. This result becomes apparent when we limit the case of women. But the level of reduction is not enough to change other kinds of time-informal care, market work, leisure, etc. The results indicate that formal home care for the elderly can reduce the burden of caregiving in families, but only minimally.

This research shows solutions for relieving the reversibility of the VAT system, and the solutions will be reviewed with current issues about supporting welfare. The Followings provide practical implementing solutions for each issue. Since the VAT is taxed for all goods and services as a general consumption tax, it is efficient tax policy for resource allocation comparing to income tax. On the other hand, because of the reversibility of the tax burden is also treated as a non-effective tax system for fair taxation. Even it is a non-effective tax system, the VAT system takes the most portion from the total national tax. In South Korea economic system, it is hard to raise the VAT rate because the economic effects are tremendous. For the long-term, the possibility of increasing the VAT rate is unavoidable, considering the economy, society, environment and energy, and aging. Therefore, a variety of substituted policies for the reversibility should be covered once there is a conference for the increase in the VAT rate. This research provides foundational solutions by acknowledging the reversibility of the tax burden in terms of the effective value-added tax rate. The followings are four solutions. First, it is required to adjust the duty-free system for relieving the reversibility and expand the tax-free system as well as individual consumption tax items. Second, The relief of reversibility should be worked by imposing higher the tax rate for high-income people' goods and services. Third, the adjustment of the duty-free system could be considered due to relieve the reversibility of the VAT. Last, it is considered to adjust of the simplified taxation system because the simplified taxation system is seriously against the tax-transfer principles.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing family caregivers' reaction of persons with cancer. The study participants were 130 cancer patients and their family caregivers. Data on participant characteristics, caregiver reaction, perceived social support, and cancer related health literacy were collected from July 17 to November 7, 2018 using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN 23.0 program for descriptive statistics, using independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficient and enter multiple regression analysis. The determining factors affecting caregivers' reaction were in case of spouse of patient(${\beta}=.252$, p=.002), subjective health status(${\beta}=-.207$ p=.012), and health literacy (self-care, patient's needs and preference) (${\beta}=-.411$, p<.001; ${\beta}=.247$, p=.037 respectively), and their explanation power was about 37.9%. This finding underscores the need for developing and application of the individualized education program with health literacy improvement strategies for family caregivers of cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is comparing fiscal sustainability of 17 welfare states. Borrowed the concept of fiscal space to Ostry et al(2010) and Ghosh et al(2011), this study measures the fiscal sustainability in welfare states. Using data collected from 20 OECD countries from 1986 to 2013, this study attempts to evaluate the financial sustainability of each country. As a result, it is necessary that the appropriate level of tax burden is secured. Tax revenue is the funded basis for maintaining the welfare state, so increasing tax compliance to offset the negative impact of increasing welfare spending will promote social cohesion. In therms of tax structure, in accordance with the ability to pay principle, it is important to raise the equity between the source of taxation. Reducing the gap between labor and capital tax is required to achieve horizontal equity, It is also useful to utilize the financial base of the welfare state by broadening the tax base though a consumption tax. Improving the vertical equity can also make a positive contribution to the fiscal sustainability of the welfare state.

This study analyzed the recognition types of the economic burden for cancer treatment and the characteristics of each recognition type by employing Q methodology. For this study, we determined the final 45 Q statements by conducting literature surveys, internet searches and in-depth interviews. The P samples are 35 people of cancer patients, their family members, and experts. The Q statements were classified according to the forced normal distribution method and the collected data was analyzed using the PC QUANL program. For the analysis results, we extracted four recognition types on the economic burden of cancer treatment, and we named them 'uncertain anxiety', 'acceptance by family burden', 'object to challenge with active response' and 'insurance preparation', depending on their characteristics. The results of this study can be used as a basis for preparing the clinical intervention plan and the policies for cancer patients and the families involved in the fields of medicine, nursing and social welfare.

최근에 조사된 연구에 따르면 한국 성인 암환자의 50∼60%가 민간요법 또는 대체요법을 사용하고 있으며, 그 중 70% 정도가 효과를 보았고 부작용은 거의 경험하지 않았다고 보고하였다고 한다. 가족 및 친지, 동료환자 및 매스컴이 주된 정보원이었고, 대부분이 경제적 부담이 된다고 응답했지만 월 50만원 이상 지출하는 경우가 50% 이상이었다.(중략)

우리나라는 수도권 중심의 거점성장 정책을 통한 경제발전을 추진해 왔다. 거점성장 정책이 경제발전은 가져 왔지만 수도권의 인구집 중을 유발하였다. 수도권의 인구집중이 산업 부문에서는 노동력 공급의 긍정적인 측면으로 작용하지만, 정치ㆍ사회적 측면에서는 환경문제, 정책적 지원의 부담을 함께 가져온다 또한 인구의 편재로 인해 타지역과의 불균형을 유발하는 문제점도 내재한다. (중략)
