The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the social capital of youth and to draw implications for the policies related to development of the social capital of them. To this end, we utilized the OLS regression model and the quantile regression model exploiting the 12th year dataset of the Korean Education & Employment Panel(KEEP). First, this study shows that the effect on trust is higher than that of the counterpart when the case is a) unmarried, b) with the high level of education, c) with a large asset, d) with high self-respect and the satisfaction for financial situation, and e) social media user. On the other hand, the higher the monthly average income, the lower the trust level. In addition, when the cases are grouped into 25 quantile, 50 quantile, and 75 quantile according to the level of trust, it is revealed empirically that the factors affecting social capital formation are somewhat different. Second, this study also shows that the effect is higher in a specific condition. The effect is higher compared to the counterpart when the case is a) male, b) with children, c) metropolitan city resident, d) non-employee, e) with a large asset, f) with high level of happiness, g) with high expense of purchasing books, and h) social media user. As a result, it is found that there are no personal characteristics that have statistically significant influence on students belonging to the 25th quantile of social capital. This study suggests that, in order to support the formation of social capital of Korean youths, it is necessary to enhance their psychological satisfaction and to provide cultural support or policies. In addition, it suggests that a tailored social capital accumulation program is needed according to the level of social capital, and the support for this need to be changed according to the amount of social capital of young people.

This paper is meaningful in that it empirically studies the good job condition of which young people think and the impact of job search behavior on employment. In addition, employment status and additional job search performance were set as performance variables. The main research results of this study are as follows. First, as for the good job condition considered by young people, wages and salaries in terms of companies, job stability in terms of environment, and work-life balance in terms of individuals were found. Second, job search behavior was found to be a key variable influencing employment status and job search performance. Third, it was found that job-search stress injures employment. Finally, work experience promotes employment and job search performance. Therefore, to increase the employment success rate of young people, above all, various supports for increasing the frequency of young job seekers' active job search behavior are needed. To this end, it suggests that it is necessary to develop a customized youth policy service model and to provide systematic services to meet the needs of young people.

There have been many leading researches on the North Korean Refugees who were settling in Korea which were mostly focused on raising the Defector issues and seeking how to improve those. It is not so easy to get over social and cultural gap and differences between the South and the North prolonged for more than half a century especially when the possibility of bulk of the North Korean Refugees rushing into the South by any contingency case is very high or South and North should expand social integration on the basis of mutual exchange and cooperation. Local government should grope for any policy switch which can help them have positive postures rather than simple support policy for settlement, as well.

IMF로 인한 경제위기 시기에 도시에서 농촌으로 귀농 가구가 증가하는 현상이 나타났으나 이후 경제가 활성화 되면서 감소하였다. 연도별 귀농가구의 동향은 1998년 6,409가구를 정점으로 1999년에 4,118가구로 감소하였다가 2001년경에는 매년 1000가구 미만의 수준으로 하락하였으나 2008년 말 기준으로 2,218가구에 이르는 비교적 증가하는 추세를 보이고 있다. 한편 지방자치단체 특히 인구 과소화 시군에서는 도시민 유치를 위하여 경쟁적으로 귀농자 지원조례를 제정하여 정착하는 귀농인들을 지원하고 있다. 급기야 2009년 4월에는 중앙정부 차원에서 '귀농귀촌 종합대책'이 발표되었다. 도시에서 농촌으로 이주하는 원인으로는 농업을 직업으로 선택한 결과에 따른 것도 있지만 건강한 생활 및 웰빙 전원생활 영위를 위한 이주 등 그 원인이 다양화 되어 가고 있다. 이주하는 개인의 다양한 동기와 함께 지방자치단체의 지원책 또한 하나의 유인요인이 된다고 할 수 있을 것이다. 귀농귀촌 인구가 증가세를 보이기 시작한 2000년대 중반은 정부와 지방자치단체의 귀농귀촌인 지원대책이 시작된 시기임을 볼 때 그 연계성을 짐작할 수는 있으나 검증된 바는 없다. 그렇지만 귀농인의 입장에서는 선배 귀농인이 많이 거주하거나 지원정책이 잘 되어 있는 곳을 선택하게 될 가능성은 높은 것도 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 귀농인 지원을 위하여 각 지방자치단체가 제정한 지방조례의 내용과 차이점을 분석하고자 한다. 2009년 6월 기준으로 전국 34개 시군에서 지방조례를 제정하였고 이중 13개 시군에서는 시행규칙도 완비하였다. 조례의 주된 내용은 귀농귀촌인에 대한 빈집수리비용, 의료 학자금, 영농정착금, 농지구입자금 등을 지원하는 것으로 되어 있다. 물론 그 지원 규모에 있어서는 다소의 차이가 있지만 귀농귀촌인에 대한 자금의 직접적 지원에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 귀농자들이 지역사회에 안정적으로 정착하고 정주할 수 있으려면 직접적 자금지원을 벗어나 지역네트워크를 형성하고 지원해 주는 것이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Academic interests have long left from the field of indie musicians, despite of their social and cultural values. This also means indie musician policies have enjoyed lack of evaluation. Main purpose of this study is to understand the indie musicians' environment, music activities and their job satisfaction by employing online survey method which were conducted over 105 Korean indie musicians. Survey results show that indie musicians feel the lack of performing facilities that can hold over 50 seats. Indie musician group with experience of 6 years and more has more chances of performing at big facilities. This group also tends to play more often, and earn more money from music activities. Also, analysis shows that satisfaction level of Indie musicians is affected by two factors - music activities and social reputation. From the results, we can conclude that indie musician policy needs to build grounds to harmonize supports from various field rather than play as a single supporter. Patriarchal attitude that government should do and can do everything is no more in effective at least in indie music field.

Can money buy happiness? If not, what are the factors that influence happiness? What makes people happy? What are the factors that influence happiness among Korean adults? How can we better explain factors that influence happiness? These are the research questions that led to the analyses of psychological, relational, financial resources that influence happiness. To examine differences in socio-economic status, adults and elderly from three different districts that vary wealth and income were interviewed in their own home. A total of 313 respondents (male=133, female=180) between the ages of 20 through 80 completed a questionnaire that contained background information, emotional support scale and happiness scale developed by the present researcher and resiliency of efficacy developed by Bandura(1995). The results are as follows. First, monthly income influence happiness to some extent, but when the variable was excluded from the path analysis, the goodness-of-fit did not change significantly. Although those who have more money can be happier, those without much money can also be happy. These results indicate that financial resource has limited influence on happiness. In addition, monthly income did influence self-efficacy of respondents indicating that those with more money were not necessarily more confident about themselves. Second, an important factor influencing happiness is the relational resource. Emotional support was the most powerful predictor of happiness, four to five times more important than monthly income. Third, self-efficacy influenced happiness. Those respondents with higher resiliency of efficacy had higher happiness scores and the influence was two times greater than monthly income. Moreover, self-efficacy played a mediating role between emotional support and happiness. Fourth, those respondents with higher occupational achievement reported higher happiness score and the influence was two times greater than monthly income. Fifth, success of children influenced happiness score and the influence was 1.5 times greater than monthly income. Sixth, education did not directly influence happiness, but had an indirect influence through self-efficacy and occupational achievement. Seventh, age was not related to self-efficacy and happiness.
