This study attempted to find a Christian religious alternative to the seriousness of the problem of low birth rate which has become a national and social problem, and its alternative. Korea is a low birth rate country. The phenomenon of low birth rate and childbirth avoidance is a reality that not only are national problems but also Korean churches are experiencing serious problems, and will continue to affect them. It will affect the church in four major ways. First, is a sharp decline in the number of members. Second, is the decline of Sunday schools. Third, various family problems and generational conflicts will arise. And it brings problems such as a crisis of faith among members. Young people living today have an unconventional attitude toward marriage, childbirth, and parenting. But for Christians, childbirth is a way of living in that God blessed us to "be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth." In other words, childbirth must be recognized as a blessing from God, not a human decision. Therefore, we must know how precious the fetus is in front of God and that it is a precious life. Thus, we should be interested in how to nurture the life God has given. To do so the church's role is education is to shape the value of life from a biblical perspective. Therefore the church needs to see how the Christian faith of young and married couples who are about to marry, give birth, and raise children, affects the childbirth and rearing of children. And it is necessary to study what the role of church and Christian education is to solve the problem of low birth rate and to suggest alternatives. For this study, we will first identify the factors of low birth rate. Then we will confirm childbirth and the blessing of God through the Bible. Finally, the role of the church in low birth rate and educational alternatives will be presented.

Despite the diverse system development and improvement initiatives that have been created to improve the environments of child birth and nurturing, the birth rate in Korean society remains low. Some minor teenage single parents give birth and raise children. Teenage single parents are supported by the Single-Parent Family Support Act, but some of their needs are still not being addressed. As each single parent has different backgrounds and socioeconomic characteristics, an investigation is required for developing differentiated support in which they will be considered both parents and children. Therefore, this study identifies the unique problems encountered by teenage parents, focuses on single mothers giving birth, and explores measures that teenage parents can use to be independent members of civil society. Three suggestions are presented for the period from pregnancy and childbearing to parenting. First, there should be an education support plan that will enable them to finish tertiary education, and parent education. Second, measures should be created to initiate a change in direction in indifferent biological(real) fathers: these should enlighten and help them participate in rearing their children. Third, in addition to improvements of the current systems only targeting single parent-family support, which will help differentiate teenage parent support from adolescent single parent-family support, assistance should be given for teenage single parents to grow as a Subject of Rights through tailored independent support programs.

This study aimed to investigate the association between social support and the change of depressive symptoms and its difference by gender among Korean Baby Boomer. We used the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA) 5th (in 2014) and 6th waves (in 2016). Samples were Korean Baby Boomer (born 1955 to 1963) who have spouse and children(N = 1,210). Dependent variable was depressive symptoms and independent variables were four social support variables (spousal relationship satisfaction, parent-child relationship satisfaction, frequency of social contact, and number of participation groups). Interaction variables between social support and gender were also included in the model. Hierarchical regression analysis with the lagged dependent variable was performed. Results showed that the higher the satisfaction of spousal relationship and the satisfaction of parent-child relationship, the less the depressive symptoms increased. All interaction variables were not significant. These findings mean that the support from the spouse and the child is helpful in lowering depressive symptoms, and the associations between social support and depressive symptoms are not different by gender among Baby Boomer. It implies that interventions for enhancing family relationships, especially spousal relationship and parent-child relationship, may be useful to reduce depressive symptoms among Korean Baby Boomer.

여성 취업의 증가로 사회활동이 증가하면서 가사 및 육아에 있어서의 어려움은 최근 출산율의 저하로 이어지고 있다. 어머니들이 아기 식사를 준비하는데 필요한 시간의 절대적인 부족과 경제 활동의 증가로 인한 가계 수입의 증대는 상업적 이유식을 선호하게 하였다. 또한 자녀수의 감소는 아기를 양육하는데 드는 경비가 증가했음에도 불구하고 아기들을 위한 고품질의 유즙 및 식품을 위해 기꺼이 소비를 하는 경향을 보이고 있다. (중략)

현대 사회에 들어와서는 소비자의 성향이나 소비패턴의 다양화로 인하여 소비자 행동을 예측할 수 있는 보다 중요한 변수가 무엇인가에 대한 연구가 필요하여 알아보고자 한다. 특히 자녀를 둔 주부들의 경우 자녀의 의복 소비성향에서 다양한 성향들을 나타내는데, 이는 사회구조나 가족구조의 변화에 따라 소득의 향상, 주부의 사회진출이나 낮은 출산율 등의 영향으로 유아복에 대한 소비자들의 관심이 커지고 있기 때문이다. (중략)

`아침에는 밥을 저녁에는 죽을 먹는다.'는 조반석죽(朝飯石粥)이라는 말이 있다. 몹시 가난한 상황을 뜻하는 것이지만 '아침식사는 충분히 하고 점심은 적당히 먹고 저녁식사는 가볍게 해야 한다'는 건강 식사법을 담고 있다. 이 식사법은 성장기 자녀에게도 고스란히 적용된다. 바쁘다, 입맛이 없다는 핑계로 아침밥을 거르는 자녀가 늘고 있는데 건강에는 물론 학습효과에도 좋지 않은 영향을 미칠 수 있다.

The last half of the twentieth century brought many new opportunities and challenges to the traditional South Korean family. One area of change that challenges the traditional South Korean family is the availability of new food sources, specifically the introduction of commercial restaurants that offer new types of food in untraditional settings. This research investigated the perceptions of South Korean mothers'(n = 104) regarding the patronage of quick service style restaurants by their children through the use of Q sort methodology. The results showed that even though children do influence the decision making process when determining where to eat away from home, Korean mothers still play a very prominent role in planning the family's food consumption. While Western food styles and practices can provide a variety of food selections and service styles, care should be taken not to over utilize the quick service restaurants' in place of traditional foods.
