전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 물가(物價)를 안정(安定)시킬 뿐만 아니라 서민생활의 부담을 덜어줌으로써 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것처럼 이해되고 있으나 과연 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)가 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 기여하는 것인가. 본(本) 논문(論文)에서는 우리나라 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)의 소득분배효과(所得分配效果) 측면(側面)을 좀 더 구체적으로 검토해 보았다. 전력요금변화(電力料金變化)는 세가지 경로를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 첫째는 전력요금(電力料金) 가격구조(價格構造)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 우리나라 전력요금구조(電力料金構造)는 가정용(家庭用) 전력요금(電力料金)이 산업용(産業用) 전력요금(電力料金)보다 더 높기 때문에 일반서민계층(一般庶民階層)으로부터 요금(料金)을 징수하여 산업자본가(産業資本家)들을 보조해주는 결과(結果)가 되고 있어 전력요금구조(電力料金構造) 자체(自體)는 소득분배(所得分配)에 역진적(逆進的)이라고 할 수 있다. 둘째는 가계전력(家計電力) 소비지출(消費支出)의 변화(變化)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향(影響)을 미치게 된다. 가계소득계층별(家計所得階層別) 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)은 저소득계층(低所得階層)이 상대적으로 더 큰 것으로 나타나고 있어 동일률(同一率)의 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 저소득계층(低所得階層)에게 상대적으로 많은 절감효과(節減效果)를 유발(誘發)하게 되어 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에 도움이 된다. 그러나 가계소득(家計所得) 중 전력비지출(電力費支出) 비중(比重)이 불과 1~2%에 머물고 있기 때문에 그로 인한 소득분배(所得分配) 개선효과(改善效果)는 아주 미미하다. 셋째는 기업(企業)의 원가절감(原價節減)과 이로 인한 당기순이익(當期純利益) 증가(增加)를 통하여 소득분배(所得分配)에 영향을 미치게 된다. 당기순이익(當期純利益)이 증가(增加)될 때 일차적인 혜택을 보는 계층(階層)은 산업자본가(産業資本家)들이며 이들은 대체로 고소득계층(高所得階層)에 속한다. 따라서 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 고소득(高所得) 산업자본가(産業資本家) 계층(階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시키는 측면(側面)에서는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 심화시키게 된다. 전력요금(電力料金)이 10% 인하(引下)될 경우를 가정하여 소득분배효과(所得分配效果)를 계량적(計量的)으로 분석해 본 결과 전력요금인하(電力料金引下)는 전력비지출(電力費支出) 절감(節減)을 통하여 저소득계층(低所得階層)의 가처분소득(可處分所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 효과가 있는 것은 사실이다. 그러나 기업(企業)의 당기순이익(當期純利益)을 급격히 증가(增加)시켜 고소득계층(高所得階層)의 소득(所得)을 증대(增大)시켜 주는 결과를 가져오게 됨으로써 전체적으로는 계층간(階層間)의 소득격차(所得隔差)를 오히려 심화시키는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 따라서 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 차원(次元)에서의 소득분배(所得分配)는 별로 개선(改善)되지 못하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 물론 전력요금(電力料金)의 조정에 있어서 소득분배(所得分配) 문제(問題)를 가장 우선적으로 고려하여야 한다는 의미는 아니다. 전력요금조정(電力料金調整)은 물가안정(物價安定), 수출산업(輸出産業) 경쟁력(競爭力) 강화(强化), 에너지소비절약 등 여러가지 국민경제적(國民經濟的) 요소(要素)들을 고려하여 결정(決定)되고 있다. 다만 물가안정(物價安定)이나 수출산업지원(輸出産業支援)을 위하여 전력요금(電力料金)을 인하(引下)하는 경우에도 현행가격체계(現行價格體系)와 소비구조하(消費構造下)에서는 그것이 소득분배개선(所得分配改善)에는 전혀 도움을 주지 못하고 오히려 소득분배상태(所得分配狀態)를 악화시키고 있음을 유의할 필요가 있다.

A nutrition survey of 128 perschool children, 4 to 6 years old, in the Saemaul Youlgok day care center, located in one uplane, overpolulated, poor area of the city of Seoul, sponsered by the Korean Red Cross Society, was undertaken between August 21 and 31, 1984, to investigate dietary and nutritional status. RESULTS: Mean values of height, weight, arm circumference, girth of chest, and head circumference ranged from 95 to 100% of KIST mean. However, 4.8~14.2% of the subjects were assessed as undernourished in terms of 'weight for height'. Mean hemoglobin vcalue was 12.1±0.7gm%, and mean hematocrit value was 38.5±2.2%; 4.1% of the subjects were proven to be anemic according to the criterion of hemoglobin established by the ICNND. Mean urinary urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio was 11.4±3.8. Regarding mean energy and nutrient intake, the following percentages had intakes below two-thirds of the 1985 RDAs: 28.8% of children, for protein; 48.8% of children, for iron; and 28.8% of children, for calcium. About 25% of children had vitamin A intake below one-third of the recommended allowance. Carbohydrate provided 71% of total energy intake; protein accounted for 13%; fat provided 16%. Energy intake was divided among breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks in a percentage ration of 19:26:21:34. The lunch, and snacks which were served at the day care center provided 36.5~79.1% of daily energy and nutrient intake. The survey clarified that the day care feding largely supplemented the inadequate dietary intakes of these young children at home. According to factor analysis of energy and nutrient intake, there were two factor groups : the first factor group, for energy, protein, carbohydrate, iron and niacin, mainly provided by grains; and the second factor group, for calcium, vitamin A, thamin, riboflavin and ascorbic acid, provided by vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products. The survey also revealed significant correlation coefficients between family factors such as family income, educational level of parents, and number of children; and dietary or nutritional status of the subjects.

본 논문에서는 지역규모에 따라 초등학생의 ICT 리터러시 점수가 차이나는 원인을 분석하였다. 선행연구에 따르면 2016년 측정된 초등학생들의 ICT 리터러시 점수는 대도시, 중소도시, 읍면지역 순으로 높게 나타났다. 이에 본 논문에서는 그 원인을 알아보고자 지역규모별 초등학생들의 평소 ICT 활용 습관 차이와 ICT 리터러시 점수를 비교하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 지역규모가 클수록 초등학생들의 ICT 리터러시 점수가 높은 원인은 큰 지역에 거주하는 학생들이 작은 지역에 거주하는 학생들보다 가정에서 컴퓨터를 사용하는 기회가 더 많고 컴퓨터를 이용하여 학습 활동을 더 많이 하며, 정보(컴퓨터)교육을 받은 경험도 더 많기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 지역 간 초등학생의 정보격차를 줄이기 위하여 지역규모가 작은 저소득계층의 자녀들에 대한 컴퓨터 지원과 함께 가정에서 컴퓨터를 활용한 학습 활동 안내 그리고 정보(컴퓨터)교육 기회 확대 등을 종합적으로 지원할 것을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 미국 North Carolina의 Durham Chad and Development Study에 참여하는 161 가족의 자료를 이용하여 소득 수준과 인종에 따라 가족들이 선택하는 영아 보육의 특성을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 생후 1년 동안의 영아 보육 선택에 있어 시간에 따른 변화 또한 분석하였다. 소득이 높은 가족들은 더 낮은 소득의 가족들과 비교하였을 때 어머니가 아닌 다른 사람에 의한 영아 보육을 더 많이 이용하였다. 흑인 가족들은 백인 가족에 비해 영아 보육을 더 많이 이용하였다. 저소득 가족은 친척에 의한 보육을 많이 사용하였고, 고소득의 가족은 데이케어 센터와 같은 보다 형식적인 보육에 의존하는 경향이 보였으나, 소득이 보육의 형태에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 저소득층 가족은 영아 보육을 더 이른 시기에 시작하였으며, 유의하게 적은 보육 비용을 지출하였다. 이러한 본 연구 결과들은 저소득층을 위한 영아보육 정책의 중요성과 더불어 영아를 위한 보육 선택에 있어 문화적 차이의 역할을 재조명하였다고 볼 수 있다.

Recently, concern about family safety is rising again as an important issue with the context of family healthiness and well-being in Korean society despite of the dramatic economic growth. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of family safety of singles and single-parent households and to investigate the effect of social capital on the level of their family safety. Data are from the 10th wave of Korea Welfare Panel Study analysing one-person households(N=2,017) and single-parent households(N=172). One-person households were categorized as three groups by age(the youths/middle-aged/the elderly) and single-parent households were also three by family types(mother-child/fahter-child/grandparent-child). The major results were as follows: First, the mean of family safety index was highest among middle-aged, while single youths had the fewest problems in terms of family safety. Second, social capital was found to vary by family structure. In the one-person households, all the levels of the social capital variables, including trust, bond, acceptance, and participation, differed significantly; only two variables, bond and embracement, differed in the single-parent households. Third, social capital differed between the low-income households and others significantly. Forth, the positive effects of social capital on overcoming family safety problems were investigated. In conclusion, social capital represents an alternative resource for overcoming economic hardship for low-income one-person/single-parent households, especially for middle-aged singles and father-child single-parent households. Based on these empirical results, theoretical implications were discussed with regard to family policy and programs.

This study explored the characteristics, housing deficits and expectations for support programs of low-income renter households in housing poverty in order to provide housing policy development and improvement information. Microdata of the 2014 Korea Housing Survey was utilized as secondary data for this study. A total of 2,508,672 low-income renter households (weighted count) in the bottom 40% income ranks of entire general households living in private rental units were selected as study subjects. The major findings were as follows. (1) One point four percent of the subjects were living in non-house living quarters (e.g., shanties, vinyl greenhouses, container houses, and mud huts), 1.4% were in dosshouses, 9.9% were in basements, semi-basements or rooftop units, and 8.2% were in sub-standard units. (2) Among the households whose housing costs burdens were measurable, 75.7% were found to have housing cost burdens to pay 30% or more of their household income towards housing costs (rental costs and maintenance costs), but only 7.5% of the burdened households received a housing voucher. (3) Eighty-one percent were found to be in a housing poverty status as defined by the researcher; in addition, low-income renter households in housing poverty in Seoul tended to have a greater proportion of households headed by females, the elderly, and be persons with low-education or disabilities. (4) Households in housing poverty showed greater expectations for financial support and/or extended provisions of public rental housing than other low-income renter households.

This study investigated the effects of young children's learning-related skills and the maternal involvement on academic abilities. The sample consisted of 310 children from 7 child-care centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. All variables were measured by the teachers and the mothers of surveyed children. The instrument included the Korean Child Development Inventory(K-CDI) for 4 to 6-year olds and Preschool Learning Behavior Scale(McDermott et al 2000) and the questionnaire on mother's involvement about their children's education. The collected data was analyzed by t-test and hierarchical regression using the SPSS Program. The findings are as follows. First, regardless of the family income level, verbal comprehension and numerical abilities were positively associated with their learning-related skills of young children. Second, the interaction effect of learning-related skills and the mothers' involvement on verbal comprehension of young children in the low-income families was observed. However, no interaction effect was seen in terms of learning-related skills and the maternal involvement on verbal comprehension and numerical abilities of young children in the high-income families. These findings highlight the importance of learning-related skills and their mothers' involvement during the preschool period for the low-income family in improving the early academic achievement.

This study aims to research the effects of group art therapy program on the self-esteem and peer relationships of children in low-income and single-parent families. It was performed for 24 sessions with Lee Hyeon-Jin's(2006) and Shin Ji-Hye and Kim Gui-Bok's(2009) group art therapy program. The evaluation was performed with Park Mi-Ran's self-esteem questionnaire(2007) and Kim Taehee's peer-relationship questionnaire(2005). The subjects are 26 elementary students in low-income and single parent family who are in the 2, 3, and 4 grade and use A-regional children center and B-regional children center which are located in Gyeongbuk province. Means, standard deviations, Independent t-test and Paired t-test were conducted. Firstly, the change in self-esteem of both experiment group and control group is investigated before and after their taking group art therapy program. There are statistically meaningful enhancements in self-esteem of experimental group. But there are no statistically meaningful enhancements in self-esteem of control group. Secondly, peer-relationships in both experimental group and control group do not change between before and after taking group art therapy program. Thus, the program of group art therapy is thought to be effective therapy improving the self-esteem of child in low-income single-parent family.
