This study focused on the heterogeneity of groups in single-person households, to identify how middle-aged single-person households is categorized by sub-groups and to come up with policy measures to overcome social exclusion by examining predictive factors for the type of social exclusion. Potential class analysis and multinomial logistic regression analysis were conducted on a total of 361 middle-aged single-person households using the 14th Korea Replication Panel data. The social exclusion index of these households was measured consisting of 10 six-dimensional indicators. The results showed that middle-aged single-person households had five different types: "non-exclusion"(29.6%), "health restriction"(14.3%), "interact restriction and middle-risk multiple-exclusion" (12.0%), "income and health exclusion"(14.1%), and "high-risk multiple-exclusion"(30.0%). More than 70% of the respondents experienced social exclusion, and most of the exclusion types were multiple exclusion. When examining the factors affecting each exclusion type, the 'subjective health level' was a common major predictor, and family interact, age and leisure activity satisfaction variables were significant predictors of the 'high-risk multiple exclusion type' and 'the interact restriction and middle-risk multiple-exclusion type'. Based on these results, a multidimensional intervention strategy is an effective measure to solve the social exclusion problem of middle-aged single-person households, and practical measures should be considered by strengthening 'health' and exchanges.

This study examined the effect of parental socioeconomic position on the association between birth outcomes and infant mortality in early and late 2000's. Linked Birth and Infant Death data sets from 2001 to 2003 (T1) and from 2006 to 2008 (T2), provided by the Korea National Statistical Office, were used for analysis. Birth outcomes were categorized into four groups: normal term, small-for-gestational age (SGA), large-for-gestational age (LGA) and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). Infant death was defined as the death of a live-born child under one year of age; indicators of parental socioeconomic position were limited to parental education and occupation. The results showed that T2 infant mortality hazard ratios of SGA and IUGR have increased compared to T1. Particularly, preterm and low birth weight babies with shorter gestational age and lighter birth weight than T1 have elevated in T2, possibly indicating that population quality might be continuously aggravated. Moreover, the effect of maternal age on infant mortality has disappeared, rather that of parents' socioeconomic position has increased during the periods, which entailed growing disparities in infant mortality by their social class. Further studies should be therefore done to estimate the effect of parental socioeconomic position on the relationship between birth outcomes and infant mortality in the near future.

Franchising has long been an effective form of distribution that is used primarily by manufacturers whose product lines are especially suited exclusive or highly selective distribution. By IFA(International Franchise Association), franchising is defined as a continuing relationship in which the franchisor provides a licensed privilege to do business, plus assistance in organizing, training, merchandising, and management in return for a consideration from the franchisee. Thus franchising is a method for the owner(franchisor) of product, service, or method to obtain retail or wholesale distribution through licensed, affiliated dealers(franchisees). With rapid increase of franchising industry globally, franchising industry is very rapidly increasing especially in the sector of outdoor restaurant industry in Korea. But there are many problems to be settled for promoting this industry. For example, the industry is too much lean outdoor restaurant industry. With franchisors' short history and lack of management capacity, shortage of distribution infrastructure, smaller size of franchising system, and low trust between franchisor and franchisee, and so on, the industry has many barriers to overcome for promoting it. Here we are suggesting that taxation benefaction, monetary support for the starting franchisee, establishment of fair trade principle, promoting information system and professional human resource should be needed.

In this study we investigated the factors determining people's decision on whether to subscribe to private health insurance, on how many private health insurances they subscribe to and the average amount of monthly payment from subscribers of private health insurances. For analysis, logistic regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted on the sample of 8,167 people using 2008 Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing(KLoSA) data. From the analysis, whether to enroll in private health insurance is found to be greatly influenced by population and socioeconomic factors as well as regular exercise, smoking, cognitive function scores, subjective health status, hospitalization, the number of outpatient services, free primary health screenings benefits. We also found that number of private health insurances purchased is affected by age, household income, subjective health status, drinking, free primary health screenings benefits and that the average amount of monthly payment for private health insurances purchased is influenced by age, marriage status, economic activities status, subjective sense of hierarchy, household income, drinking, hospitalization. This study is expected to contribute to show the healthy role of private health insurance so that the desirable direction in expansion of health security policy in Korea can be explored further.

The main purpose of this study is to explore the determinants of sex ratio imbalance at birth in Taegu which has experienced the extremely imbalanced sex ratio at birth since mid-1980s. This paper attempts to compare the determinants of sex ratio imbalance at birth, such as sex discrimination against women, son preference, prenatal sex identification followes by sex-selective induced abortions, among married women aged 25 to 44 in Taegu with those in Bay area, California in USA. The research is based on the survey data which were conducted in Taegu, Repulic of Korea and Bay area, California in USA. The findings of this analysis suggest that married women in Taegu are more likely to feel sex discrimination against women than married women in Bay area. Furthermore, the percentage of married women's effort for son bearing before pregnancy is much higher than that of married women in Bay area. We also have found that the percentage of sex-selective induced abortion in Taegu is six times higher than that of married women in Bay area. According to the logistic regression analysis, the determinants of sex-selective induced abortion among married women in Taegu are discrimination against women, son preference, prenatal sex identification. On the other hand, age is the only variable which has an important impact on sex-selective induced abortion among married women in Bay area. From the findings of this study, we can conclude that son preference based on Cofucianism is the most important impact on sex ratio imbalance at birth in Taegu where son preference is much stronger than other regions in Korea. The phenomenon of extremely imbalanced sex ratio at birth in Taegu is the result of combination of these factors, such as strong son preference, seeking to have at least one son within small family size, and prenatal sex identification followed by sex-selective induced abortion.

This paper examine the gender-poverty gap and the feminization of poverty in Korea with using data from the National Survey Household Income & Expenditure(1996, 2000) and the Urban Survey Household Income & Expenditure(1996-2002) by Korea National Statistical Office. The poverty rate in 2000 was 16.9 percent for female-head families and 7.9 percent for male-head families, which means that female-head families were 2.6 times more likely to be poor than male-head families. With examining impact of economic crisis in 1998 on gender-poverty gap, it show that both the poverty rate of female-head and male-head increase radically in peak of economic crisis, while, in the stage of recovering economy, the poverty rate of male-head families recovered mostly the level before economic crisis, but that of female-head families recover only the 2/3 level before and the 1/3 remain still under poverty. Thus gender-poverty gap appeared bigger during passing through economic crisis. With analyzing on influence factors of poverty, it appear that poverty is influenced by gender itself as well as education level, working condition which is reflected substantially characteristics of gender. Such an analysis results mean that the considering gender dimension is necessary to resolve poverty fundamentally because gender is a point intersection among family, labour market, and social security. Therefore it appears certain that to develop and adopt of women-friendly social policy is effective approach, which could resolve poverty and social problems related to social rights.

건강관련 요인에 따른 우리나라 성인 여성의 영양섭취 특성을 파악하기 위해 2001 국민건강ㆍ영양조사-영양조사부문의 결과를 심층 분석하였다. 2001 국민건강ㆍ영양조사는 2001년 11월 1일부터 12월 31일까지 전국 200개 지역에서 약 4,000가구, 14,000명을 대상으로 실시되었으며, 본 연구에서는 응답자 중 20세 이상 성인여성 3,780명의 데이터만을 활용하였다. 이들의 연령, 소득수준, 건강 인식도, 비만도 및 체중인식 등에 따른 영양소 섭취수준을 비교하였으며, 평균값의 차이에 대한 유의성 검증에는 1-way ANOVA와 Duncan's multiple range test를 적용하였다. 분석의 대상이 된 성인 여성 응답자의 구성은 20∼29세가 696명, 30∼49세가 1,765명, 50∼64세가 757명, 65세 이상이 562명이었다. 20세 이상 모든 성인 여성의 영양소별 영양권장량에 대한 평균 섭취수준을 보면 칼슘의 경우에 67%로 가장 낮았으며 다른 영양소의 경우에는 권장량에 근접하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 연령층별로 비교하면 철의 섭취수준은 20대 여성에서 가장 낮은 반면, 나머지 영양소의 섭취 수준은 65세 이상 연령층에서 가장 낮았다. 2001년 가구원 수 별 최저 생계비를 기준(100%)으로 하여 가구소득을 100% 미만, 100∼199%, 200∼299%, 300% 이상 4 구간으로 분류한 소득수준에 따른 영양소 섭취수준을 비교한 결과, 전체적으로는 소득수준이 높아질수록 평균 영양소 섭취수준이 높아지고, 가구 소득이 저생계비 미만인 그룹에서 거의 모든 영양소의 섭취수준이 가장 낮게 나타났으나, 55세 이상 연령층에서는 소득수준이 영양소 섭취 수준에 영향을 미치지 않았다. BMI를 기준으로 저체중군, 정상체중군, 과체중군으로 분류한 비만도 그룹별 영양소 섭취수준을 비교한 결과, 전체적인 영양소의 섭취수준이 정상체중군에서 높고 저체중군에서 가장 낮았으며, 특히 65세 이상 연령층의 저체중군의 섭취수준은 매우 낮아서 칼슘과 비타민 A의 경우 권장량의 40% 대에 불과했다. 자신의 체형에 대한 인식에 근거해 영양소 섭취수준을 비교해 보면, 20대에서는 자신이 말랐다고 인식하는 그룹에서 섭취수준이 다소 낮게 나타났으나 30∼49세에서는 말랐다고 인식하는 그룹의 영양소 섭취수준이 오히려 높은 것으로 나타나 연령에 따라 다른 경향을 보였다. 건강 인식도에 따른 분석 결과, 스스로가 건강하지 못하다고 생각하는 그룹에 비해 건강하다고 인식하는 그룹에서 철을 제외한 모든 영양소의 섭취수준이 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 이상으로부터 우리나라 여성 중 65세 이상 노인과 최저생계비 미만의 저소득 가구 여성의 영양소 섭취 수준이 심각하게 낮으며, 소득 수준 차상위 계층(100∼199%) 여성의 섭취 상태도 관심을 기울여야 할 수준임을 알 수 있었다. 동시에 자신의 건강이나 체형에 대한 인식이 부정적일수록 섭취수준이 불량하여 한국 여성의 건강과 올바른 영양관리를 위해서는 여성 스스로의 긍정적인 사고 또한 중요한 영향 요인인 것으로 나타났다.
