This study examined the co-occurrence of child maltreatment and domestic violence in South Korea, using the administrative data from Korean Child Protection Services. Existing literature showed that the co-occurrence rate was high and that the co-occurrence was important in prevention and intervention for child maltreatment. However, few studies have investigated the co-occurrence of child maltreament and domestic violence in South Korea. None of the studies have examined the co-occurrence from the perspective of child protective services. This study analyzed the rate of co-occurrence among abusive families involved with Korean Child Protective Services and examined the relationship between domestic violence and child maltreatment. Results showed that 21.4% of the abusive families had also experienced domestic violence. Various characteristics(i.e., detailed abuse characteristics, psychosocial characteristics of perpetrators) differed between co-occurrence families and maltreatment-only families. Domestic violence was a significant predictor of child maltreatment, but the detailed relationships differed according subtypes of maltreatment. Based on the results, implications for theory and service integration between services for domestic violence victims and child protective services were discussed.

In this study, the problem of child care gaps has arisen due to the expansion of women's entry into the workforce and the increase in working couples, and the care cliff phenomenon after children enter elementary school has been identified as one of the causes of women's career disconnection and low birth rates, and child care services have been initiated to solve care problems and balance work and family. The importance of childcare services to the safety and well-being of children has been highlighted by the restrictions on school attendance and the absence of caregivers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has been making policy efforts to reduce the gap in child care, but problems with the effectiveness and efficiency of the child care system have arisen due to unstable target selection and delivery systems by ministries and projects in the implementation of child care services. Therefore, this study examines the child care services implemented by each ministry to reduce the blind spots of after-school care services in the community and prepare efficient operation plans for various delivery systems, and seeks directions for the development of child care services.
