This study reviews and analyzes the current status and conditions of child-rearing issues related to single-parent families and pinpoints related problems. It undertakes for single-parent families with children in elementary and middle schools to determine limitations that prevent single-parent families from obtaining in existing policies and legislation. The study introduces policy guidelines to ensure childcare for single-parent families. The results are follows. First, the basic policies supporting single-parent families should be broadened to include not only low-income, single-parent families but also higher-income, single-parent families, which would allow all such families to be given first priority at childcare centers. Second, to resolve discrimination and prejudice toward single-parent families, articles about education and single-parent families should be included in the Single-Parent Support Act. Third, substantial and customized support policies tailored to the growth-stages of children are needed. Fourth, programs to improve the relationship between children and single parents should be developed and promoted. Finally, various family types, such as single-father or multi-cultural single-parent families, must be considered.

우리나라는 1921년 태화기독교 여성관 탁아프로그램으로 보육이 시작된 이후 1991년 영유아보육법이 제정되는 등 질적인 보육을 제공할 수 있는 정책적 기반이 꾸준히 발전해왔다. 약 90년 정도 된 보육의 역사에서 보육정책을 담당하는 부처는 시대에 따라, 그리고 관련 법의 규정에 따라 보건사회부, 농업진흥청, 내무부, 문교부, 노동부 등 여러 부처로 분산되어 왔으나, 1991년 제정된 영유아보육법에 의해 보건복지부로 일원화되었고 2004년에는 여성가족부로, 2007년에는 다시 보건복지부로 이관되었다. 우리나라의 보육정책은 1991년 제정된 영유아보육법을 기점으로 교육부 관할의 유치원과 보건복지부 관할의 어린이집의 이원체제로 운영되어 왔다. 최근 출산율의 급속한 저하로 인해 출산율 회복을 위한 정책 개발과 보육의 질적 향상을 도모할 수 있는 방안에 대한 필요성에 의해 다양한 보육정책이 시행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 현재 보육정책의 주요 특징과 앞으로 다가올 시대를 위해 보육정책이 나아가야 할 방향과 과제에 대해 논의하였다.

본 연구는 아동학대와 신고의무제에 대한 보육교사의 인식과 경험을 파악하기 위해, 아동학대에 대한 인식, 신고의무제도에 대한 법과 절차, 아동학대 발견과 신고에 대한 경험 등에 관한 자기보고식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 아동학대와 신고의무제도에 대한 보육교사의 인식은 매우 높게 나타났다. 특히 개정된 아동복지법과 아동 학대 특례법에 대한 이해수준도 높게 나타났다. 아동학대 발견시 신고해야 하는 규정과 절차 등 이론적 이해수준은 매우 높게 나타났는데, 아동학대와 관련된 지식은 대중매체와 아동학대 훈련 프로그램을 통해서 얻은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 아동학대와 관련된 인식은 보육교사의 연령, 어린이집 유형, 교사기간, 교육수준에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실제 아동학대를 발견했을 때 신고한 경험은 매우 낮게 나타났다. 보육교사는 아동학대에 대한 높은 인식에 비해 낮은 신고인식을 가지고 있어서 실제 아동학대 예방에 기여하지 못하고 있었다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여 보육교사의 신고비율을 높일 수 있는 프로그램 개발을 위한 시사점을 제안하였다.

Childcare related studies have focused on the characteristics of care work, policy aspects, user family satisfaction, and job satisfaction of childcare helpers. But there have been few studies on family system characteristics that support childcare givers. Thus, this study conducted on the topic, "How to characterize the family resilience of long-term childcare givers?" The subjects belong to a healthy family support center in U. City, who belong to a group with an income in the top 20 % of about 20 persons working for more than 3 years. In an interview, qualitative questions were used Walsh's family resilience. The results are as follows. First, they had economic hardship, but their family would stand together and build up a family's power based on the couple's faith. They had a family role model based on their parents' family that included inherited maternity qualities from their mother. Second, the flexibility of the family organization changed to autonomous or co-role type and the connectivity. Especially, they appear as a family's leader. Third, their family communication was active, shared-care, responsible and passionate with family affection and understanding. The conclusions results are as follows. Participants were high school graduates as well as had work experience. They were characterized by positive family energy, a family belief system, family-based resources, flexibility, connectivity, open family communication and expression skills. Therefore, it can be suggested that it is necessary to check the family's resilience during an interview for the reliable, long-term supply of human resources for childcare activities.

Objective: This study aims to analyze parents' perception of the suitability of the 'Childcare Support Center (C.S.C.)' and the 'Early Childhood Education Promotion Institute(E.C.E.P.I)' as home care support service providers. Methods: The goals and content of the home parenting support service offered by the C.S.C. and E.C.E.P.I. were analyzes based on information collected from their websites, publications, and various promotional materials. There were categories into 18 services across 5 categories. Responses of 421 parents, gathered through a questionnaire developed with reference to previous studies, were collected and analyzed. Results: Parents reported high degree of suitability for the organizations they used. Those familiar with both institutions found E.C.E.P.I. more suitable overall. However the C.S.C. was considered particularity suitable by parents of children aged 0-2 years and by those with no prior experience with either institution. The perceived suitability of the two institutions varied by service, depending on factors such as the age group of the children, whether the parents lived in the metropolitan area, and whether they were part of a double-income household. Conclusion/Implications: These findings have practical implications for development of integrated policies for early childhood education and childcare, which should take into account parents' perceptions of the functions of institutions.

The study explored the work-life balance of three dual-earning couples using the household economics approach according to the hermeneutics paradigm. Three families were analysed. The couples were interviewed individually with a non-structural interview guide about their work history and life history, and with a semi-structured interview and structured questionnaire about their work hours, childcare practice, husband-wife relation, household income and expenditure, and daily and weekly schedule. The results revealed the different paths and various strategies to adjust work-life balance among the cases. Strategies were discussed to facilitate changes in labor market policy, childcare policy, working place culture and family's daily life planning.

The purpose of this study was to obtain a fundamental data for developing a policy concerning women and child rearing and a parent education program for young parents who are around their childbirth, a period crucially important both for the parents in terms of the role adjustment, career management, and family finance, and for the infants in terms of its physical and psychological well-being. The subjects were 509 mothers before and after childbirth currently living in the Metropolitan City of Daejeon. Data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews in two major areas of pregnancy-delivery-childcare and parent education. Data were analyzed using SAS, mostly through frequency analysis, percentiles, t-tests, and F-tests. Results of descriptive analyses were organized along the following areas and issues: Pregnancy(family planning, regular check-ups, difficulties, prenatal education, costs, etc.); delivery(type of delivery, delivery related experience, costs, clinic/medical institute of choice, worries/problems, help/supports, etc.); postpartum care(place, kinds of help and helper, costs, postpartum care facilities, etc.); childcare circumstances(place, carer, time schedules, childcare centers or facilities feeding and weaning, etc.); husband's attitudes and involvement in the overall process; working mothers(maternity leave, temporary retirement for child rearing, etc.); and, parent education(family planning, pregnancy, delivery, postpartum care, child rearing, areas or issues needing parent education, facilitative and hindering factors to ideal parenting, etc.). Differences between groups of pregnant mothers and postpartum mothers, working- and non-working mothers, groups of different income levels, mothers and fathers of different educational levels, mothers of first pregnancy(or childbirth) and experienced mothers were also analyzed. Several conclusions with suggestions were drawn in relation to the need for strong implementation as well as developing of policies on women and childcare and for developing a new parent education program for parents before and after childbirth.

본 글은 한 사회에서 가족책임주의가 발현되는 양태로서 돌봄 제공방식의 유형화에 대한 이론적 검토를 했다. 먼저 국내외에서 혼란스럽게 사용되고 있는 가족주의와 가족책임주의를 구분했다. 이러한 구분을 통해 본 연구는 가족책임주의가 부분적으로 복지국가의 미발달로 인해 나타나는 현상이지만(과도기적 가족책임주의), 한 사회의 돌봄 제공방식을 규정하는 준거(준거적 가족책임주의)로 영향을 미치고 있다고 주장했다. 특히 가족책임주의가 돌봄 제공방식을 통해 발현되는 양태를 탈가족화와 가족화, 공적책임과 사적책임이라는 두 축을 통해 6가지의 전형적 유형화가 가능하다는 것을 논거 했다. 이러한 논의에 근거하면 한국에서 가족책임주의가 발현되는 양상은 단순히 복지국가의 미발달로 인한 결과가 아니라 한국사회의 습속으로 자리 잡고 있는 가족책임주의가 한국 사회의 돌봄 제공방식에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 추정이 가능하다. 이는 한국사회가 아무리 돌봄과 관련해 탈가족화의 제도적 인프라를 확충한다고 해도 한국사회가 북유럽 복지국가들의 돌봄 제공방식과 유사해 질 수 없다는 것을 의미한다.

This study investigated the attitudes toward childbearing and the need for policies supporting childcare according to the mothers' employment status. Data from 6 employed and 6 unemployed housewives with 1 child were collected using in-depth interviews. The main results from the data analysis comprised 4 themes: 1. the ideal and the real about childbearing; 2. changed experiences after bearing the first child; 3. the meaning of parenting; and 4. husband's division of household/caring labor. A difference between employed and unemployed housewives was founded in their attitude toward childbearing. Furthermore, it was verified that the respondents were not satisfied with present policies and services for childbearing and childcare and they required existing policies to be more effective. The implications for related polices are suggested on the basis of these findings.
