The purpose of this research is to 'know what causes the social isolation felt by marriage immigrant women'. Thus, a total of 253 cases of marriage immigrant women who use Multi-cultural Family Support Center in D city have been analyzed. The findings reveal that the factors influencing the sense of isolation in the social environment, experienced by immigrant women married to Koreans are: social support, family relationships, self-esteem, household income and economic activity. In other words, their strong sense of isolation from society will be lessened when they get more social support, are happy with their family relationships, have their improved self-esteem, earn higher household incomes and don't take part in undesirable economic activities. Based on the research results, this study makes suggestions, on both a political and practical level, to solve the above problem of social isolation faced by marriage immigrant women through their financial stability, desirable economic activities, healthy family relationships, the enhancement of self-esteem and the provision of generous social support for them.

This study explores how married migrant women in Korea create social capital in their everyday lives, and how their social capital influences cultural acculturation. This study performs a structural equation model, using two-year data of female migrant women. The results suggest that network elements, including official supports from public organizations and unofficial supports from personal ties, contribute to creation of perceptual elements, including social trust, community involvement and relations. Also, these two elements of social capital have positive impact on acculturation of married migrant women in Korea. The longitudinal analysis provides a basic understanding of the creation of social capital and the relationship between social capital and acculturation of married migrant women and also clearly suggests the importance of public supports rather than personal supports from family or friends.

This is an exploratory study examining factors associated with awareness of the National Long Term Care Insurance in Korea. The researchers also examined the differences in factors based on their age, between the middle-aged group(45-64 years of age) and the elderly group(65 years and older). The 6th wave of Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA) was used for secondary data analysis. Results indicated that for the middle-aged, gender, volunteer participation, ADL, IADL, and depression were related to their awareness of the long term care insurance. However, for the elderly, social capital factors were significantly related to their awareness of the insurance. Age and depression were also significant factors associated with the awareness level of the long term care insurance among the elderly. Based on the findings, implications for social welfare policy are discussed.

여성들은 창업을 계획하고 실행할 때 여성이라는 이유로 크고 작은 문제들에 직면하게 되고, 이것이 여성 창업과 여성 기업의 발전에 장애가 되고 있다. 이에 경쟁력 있는 여성 기업이 설립되고 성장할 수 있도록 현실감 있고 효과성 있는 다양한 정책과 지원 제도가 마련되어야할 것이다. 그러기 위해 여성창업과 창업교육에 대한 현 상황과 선행 연구들에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 여성 창업과 경영에 대한 연구는 여성창업자 개인에 대한 연구와 더불어 여성창업자를 둘러싼 사회. 문화적 배경의 영향까지 고민해야 할 것이다. 여성창업자가 창업을 하고 성장을 하는데 영향을 미치는 요인들에는 개인의 내적인 특성과 환경적인 특성의 여러 요인들이 통합적으로 고려되어야 한다는 관점에 근거하여 환경적 요인으로는 사회적 지지를 그리고 개인의 내적 특성으로는 기업가정신과 셀프리더십을 선정하였다. 여성창업자의 창업효능감과 창업의지에 영향을 주는 요인들에 대한 연구를 통해 사회적으로 여성창업자에게 관심을 가져주고 지지해주며, 창업교육과 창업단계별로 필요한 것을 지원해주는 것의 중요성을 재차 알리고 그 방안을 마련하는데 도움이 될 수 있는 기초 자료로 제공하고자 한다. 여성의 창업효능감과 창업의지는 단순히 창업 교육으로만 향상될 수 있는 것이 아니라 사회적지지 또한 더불어 중요함을 이번 연구를 통해서 다시 확인할 수 있었다.

Although social economy organizations have achieved quantitative growth in various types and fields, they have been mainly promoted by the government, and there is still room for qualitative improvement, such as institutional reorganization, support systems and support methods, compared to advanced countries. In this study, the problems of social economy organizations, the current status and actual analysis of social economy organizations, the policy delivery system, obstacles to the development of social economy organizations, and problems of activation, etc. were reviewed through previous studies. Through this, policy directions and tasks for revitalization of future social economy organizations were presented. As a result, the policy direction for revitalization of social economy organizations requires private and local government initiatives, expansion of fields, customized support for the creation of a growth ecosystem, and various linkage cooperation. Organizational capacity development and education, reinforcement of various linkage cooperation systems, creation of an investment ecosystem, and joint market development are necessary.

Innovation clusters have developed a key policy indicator in the level of national competitiveness. Many countries have enhanced their regional competitiveness by fostering innovation clusters at the national, regional, and industrial level. In Korea, the cluster policy has been introduced and employed to a national policy as a means of facilitating a regional innovation for over two decades. This study analyze that the changes of the institutional, physical and social configurations of innovation clusters. In particular, we identified configuration factors which are the growth and development impact factors of individual subjects from the case study of the Daedeok Innopolis. Also, the factors are derived and identified priorities of the configuration factors by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method in long term perspective. As a result, we provide the growth of individual innovation subjects, as well as the growth of the cluster caused by the cyclic causality among configuration factors. Also, we can suggest that innovation policy from priorities of configuration factors for innovation cluster which the priorities have lessons for policy implementation and new cluster policy agenda in Korea, in specific, the Daedeok Innopolis.

Along with the well-established evidence on the negative effect of social isolation on physical and mental health, increasing attention has been paid to multi-dimensional nature of social isolation. One line of study on social isolation has discussed different pathways between objective and subjective social isolation and health. Another stream of the research focused on the possibly non-linear association between social isolation and health by age cohort groups. Drawing from the two lines of research, this study aimed at empirically examine to what extent objective and subjective social isolation are associated with physical and mental health independently and how the associations vary by three age cohorts(i.e. the middle-aged, the young old, the old-old). Data came from the first wave of Korean Social Life, Health and Aging Project (KSHAP) (N= 814). Findings showed 1) objective subjective isolation were significantly related with worse physical and mental health, interestingly, subjective social isolation was associated with mental health only, 2) pattern of association between social isolation and physical health varied by age cohorts. Specifically, compared to the middle-aged, the young old with higher objective social isolation exhibited lower level of physical health, while the old-old with higher subjective social isolation were likely to experience lower physical health. Based on the findings, we discussed implications and suggestions for future research and relevant policy/program development for ameliorating objective and subjective social isolation.

This paper attempts to empirically verify the theoretical assumption that ICT factors actually affect national economic development. To this end, this study uses a research model, 'balance model of supply-demand', which consists of IT supply, IT demand and IT policy dimensions. Also, this paper employs several socio-economic factors such as 'size of population', 'consumer price increase', 'national transparency', and 'education'as the moderating variables. The result through the panel data analysis finds it statistically relevant to relate the ICT capacity to each country's economic growth. Also, the study finds that moderating variables were highlighted as important elements of national development: these variables actually moderate the ICT capacity's effects on each surveyed nation's economic growth. Finally, this paper suggests policy implications that nations should consider when developing national informatization policies to drive national economic growth.
