Resident participation or tenant empowerment is becoming an important concept of planning, provision of welfare services, and management of housing.

The purpose of this study was to identify the perception of management staff on residents' participation in public rental housing. For this, 198 management staff of public rental housing under Korea Housing Management were surveyed using questionnaire distributed by email during February 18 to 27, 2009.

본(本) 연구(硏究)의 목적(目的)은 남북한(南北韓) 통화(通貨)의 구매력(購買力)을 상품가격(商品價格) 및 단위비용(單位費用)을 이용해 직접 비교(比較)해 보고자 하는 데 있다. 연구결과(硏究結果)에 따르면 북한(北韓)의 공식가격 및 공식임금을 이용하는 경우 남북한(南北韓) 통화(通貨)간의 구매력(購買力) 차이는 현재 북한(北韓)이 국제무역에서 통용하고 있는 상업환율(商業換率)보다 높게 나타나고 있다. 그러나 이 결과가 실제적으로 북한통화(北韓通貨)의 구매력(購買力)을 대변해 준다고 보기는 어렵다. 무엇보다도 현재 북한(北韓)에서의 가격(價格) 및 임금(賃金)이 실제적인 수요(需要) 공급상태(供給狀態)를 반영하기보다는 정부에 의해 낮게 책정되기 때문이다. 북한통화(北韓通貨)의 구매력(購買力)이 이 논문에서 공식가격(公式價格)을 이용해 얻은 결과보다 낮다는 것은 일부 품목을 암시장가격(暗市場價格)으로 대치해 얻은 결과를 통해서 확인할 수 있다. 또한 다른 사회주의(社會主義) 국가들의 체제전환(體制轉換) 경험에 비추어 볼 때 북한통화(北韓通貨)의 실제구매력(實際購買力)은 현재 상업환율(商業換率)이 나타내는 것보다도 작을 것으로 추측된다. 이 논문의 또 다른 실증결과(實證結果)는 남한(南韓)과 북한(北韓)의 가격구조(價格構造)가 상당히 다르게 나타나고 있다는 것이다. 북한(北韓)에서는 미가공식료품(美加工食料品), 주거비(住居費), 보건(保健) 의료(醫療) 등이 남한(南韓)에 비해 상대적으로 저렴(低廉)한 반면 가공(加工)된 식료품(食料品), 가구(家具) 및 가사용품(家事用品), 피복(被服) 신발 등은 상대적으로 남한(南韓)에 비해 높은 가격이 유지되고 있다. 이러한 남한(南韓)과 북한(北韓)의 가격구조(價格構造) 차이(差異)는 경제성장(經濟成長) 및 사회변화(社會變化)에 따른 차이가 일부 있기도 하지만 북한체제(北韓體制)에서의 인위적(人爲的)인 가격책정(價格策定)에 의한 가격구조(價格構造)의 왜곡(歪曲)으로 인한 차이가 상당히 큰 것으로 짐작된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the economic deprivation of male-headed or female-headed households. Household having children under the age of 18 are categorized into three types according to the gender of household head: male-headed household, female-headed household, and dual-parents household. The findings from data, for this study came from the Korean Labor Panel Study in 2003. The analysis shows that the household's age, education, residence types, etc are key explanatory variables in determining whether to be in poverty. While the public income transfer is most effective in reducing poverty in female-headed households, the private income source is relatively more useful among male-headed families. Since single-household families are particularly at risk, public policy makers should pay special attentions to developing and expanding welfare-to-work programs which provides work incentives to overcome relative poverty and community networks on child care.
