This study explores gender mechanism of welfare politics in Korea from the perspective of welfare status theory. In the simplistic analysis, it is found that there is no gender difference in welfare attitudes. In the more sophisticated analysis of welfare-status-beased SEM, however, it is found that Korean welfare politics is to be understood in terms of gender-related politics. Three major findings of this study are as follows. Firstly, Korean women possess less pro-welfare attitudes in terms of the status of welfare beneficiary. This is due to the visible gender segregation in the Korean labor market on the one hand and due to the centrality of social insurance programs in the structure of Korean public welfare system on the other hand. Secondly, Korean women have relatively higher level of pro-welfare attitude when it comes to the status of welfare service provider. Thirdly, Korean women tend to be more supportive to pro-welfare parties as they have less chance to be a higher taxpayer. Based on the above mentioned findings, this study concludes that it is possible to make Korean women be more pro-welfare if the Korean welfare state expands more social services that tend to meet urgent needs of women.

사회적으로 여성의 지위가 상승하고 역할이 강조되면서 거의 전 산업분야에 걸쳐 여성의 진출이 매우 활발해지고 있는 실정임에도 아직 건설업에 있어서 여성의 역할이나 참여도는 매우 낮은게 현실이고 또 기존의 건설업에 참여하고 있는 여성근로자들도 단순 사무보조 또는 단순 일용노무직에 불과한 현실이다. 여기 약 20여개의 현장을 공사규모, 종류, 기간, 금액, 각각의 시공사별로 표본 추출하여 각 현장의 안전관리자들에게 설문 받은 내용들을 보면 건설업에서의 여성근로자들이 얼마만큼이나 안전, 보건상으로 소외되고 관심밖에 있는지 잘 나타나 있다 하겠다.(중략)

The purpose of this study is to empirically test some hypotheses derived from the alliance model of the family, which focuses on theorizing situations in which family members simultaneously compete with other members within a family and rivals in society to maximize their statuses in the family and in society. Specifically, associations between wives' level of income relative to that of their husbands and each spouse's satisfaction with family relationships were examined, using the first wave of Korea Welfare Panel Study having been conducted in 2006 by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs. The results of the analyses showed that three ones among four research hypotheses were supported. Wives' satisfaction with family relationships was negatively associated with their relative level of income. This pattern strongly appeared among wives from lower class families rather than among wives from middle/upper class families. Relationship between wives' relative level of income and husbands' satisfaction with family relationships was likely to be bi-directional among husbands from middle/upper class families. Unlike the author's expectation, however, this bi-directional relationship was not observed among husbands from lower class families.

The major findings were as follows : 1) Rural womens sex-role attitude were conservative attitude. 66.7% of them conceived that their husband had more conservative attitude than them. Variables as age, education level, and farming work type were significant related with sex-role attitude. 2) Conjugal status level (housework sharing, domestic decision-making, agriculture decision-making, property rights) of rural women were low and not equal. It was affected by sex-role attitude, the proportion of their work to family farming work, similar/different type of sex-role attitude of couples, and their farming work type. 3) Their status satisfaction were low and affected by factors such as similar/different type of sex-role attitude of couples, conjugal status level, sex-role attitude, their farming work type, and education level.

Source for analysis in this study is from Time Use Survey conducted by Korea National Statistical Office in 2004. The sample considered of 3,122 women's time diaries and 2,678 men's, whose age range from 20-59. The results of the study show that married women, women with child under age 6 and unemployed women have less travel time quantity, travel during the daytime and use mass transportation than men and single women.

In this paper, we develop the Women's Information and Communications Technology Development Index (WIDI) framework for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States. While there are a number of global ICT indices, there are no standard global data metrics for ICT gender-related statistics in developing countries. Therefore, this research has been conducted by the Asia Pacific Women's Information. This study referenced some of the major global ICT indices and created a framework that used their basic structure and included the various measurement factors such as socio-cultural factors element and ICT policy for woman. The WIDI framework is supported by a back-end survey that was designed by the research team and reviewed by ASEAN taskforce members. Through WIDI, we can compare ICT development status and gender information gap and measure the national information gap. By presenting the basis for policy decisions on eliminating gender disparitie can help improve the social status of women.

메이크업(Make up)은 일상생활에서 여성들의 전체 ‘룩(Look)’을 구성하는데 없어서는 안될 중요한 요소이다. 여성들은 상황에 맞게 자신들의 의상을 선택하고 머리손질을 하며 화장을 한다. 제니퍼 크레이크(2001)는 ‘화장은 인격과 지위라는 속성뿐 아니라 성적 속성을 구성한다’고 밝히면서 메이크업을 여성성 표현을 위한 바디테크닉의 하나로 간주했다. 즉, 여성들은 메이크업을 통해 여성들만이 가지는 특유의 미를 발산함으로써 자기만족과 이성에 대한 관심을 유도한다. (중략)
