The purpose of this study is to review the characteristics of the policy for supporting child care and education in Korea. In order to suggest the theoretical and practical issues for child care and education policy, it is necessary to evaluate the existing policies. Based on the review of the literature, the legal system, and the policy, the child care support system in Korea is evaluated to be fragmentary and inconsistent. And Korean child care policy is a mixture of the conservative and the liberal one. In order to meet the needs of the family and children of Korea, more progress approach to child care policy is needed. The suggestions of this study are to have Korean government give more weight on societal care of children, introduce children's allowance, integrating child care and education system and developing policy monitoring systems in Korea.

As the fertility rate of Korea has recently decreased to the lowest level in the world, the recognition of the needs for social support for the child-care has been increased. This resulted in the announcement of National Policy of Child-Rearing Support in 2004. This study attempted to propose the activation of the family child-care for the preparation of the introduction of the National Policy of Child-Rearing Support. Using literature review and interview, the following research questions were addressed. Firstly, the actual situation of the family child-care was compared with that of the other types of child-care. Secondly, the policies of child-rearing support and the family child-care systems in other countries such as United Kingdom, Sweden and Japan were introduced. Finally, activations of the family child-care were discussed in terms of the introduction of the National Policy of Child-Rearing Support. The results of this study implies that the family child-care in Korea is different from that of other countries as well as other types of child-care in Korea. Also, it suggests that key factors of the activation of the family child-care in Korea are to identify as the small, informal and family-like child-care, to differentiate as the infant-care and non-standard time child-care from other types of child-care, and to increase the level of professionalization. In conclusion, family child-care should become an alternative for the low fertility problem.

This study investigated the performance of the child care policies implemented by the former government and analyzes some changes in child care policies by the new government in Korea. The criteria for evaluating child care policies of both governments were based on suggestions gleaned from OECD policy review papers on Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) in 2004 and 2006. As suggested by the OECD, the input of financial investment in public sectors, universal approaches to child care, measures of quality programs, efforts for improving the work environment of child care workers and selecting effective ways of providing financial support for child care were applied in order to evaluate the child care policies in Korea. A number of policy documents and literature published by both governments from 2003-2009 were reviewed in order to evaluate and compare the former child care policies with the more recent ones. The child care policies enacted by the former Korean government were characterized as the remarkable increases in financial investment to establish a child care infrastructure for quality programs and services, and efforts to enact universal approaches to child care, policy making based on scientific data on child care. These advances were tempered by the observation that despite all these improvements, both investment and expansion in the public child care sector were far below sufficient levels. In contrast, some changes in the child care policies by the new government were criticized in terms of weakening public child care, reinforcing private child care and it's conservative financial support system.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop a child-care support policy strategy in response to the decrease in the population of children aged 0-5 years. This will be achieved by collecting opinions from a panel of experts on child-care support policies through a Delphi survey. Methods: To achieve the purpose of this study, a panel of 20 experts in child-care policy was selected, and a Delphi survey was conducted over three sessions. Data collected through the Delphi survey underwent analysis, including frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, content validity ratio, coefficient of variation, agreement, and convergence. Data processing was carried out using Excel 2016 and SPSS 26.0. Results: As a result of the study, a child-care support policy strategy addressing the decrease in the population of children aged 0-5 years was developed, comprising three policy areas, nine policy tasks, and 38 detailed policy tasks. Conclusion/Implications: Based on these results, it is anticipated that the study will not only enable the preparation of a strategy for child-care support policy to address the decrease in the population of children aged 0-5 years but also offer significant implications for shaping the direction of child-care support policy in alignment with the common good.

While child care policy has mainly focused on the financial support for child care centers, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs recently announced the introduction of a child care allowances. The purpose of this study is to investigate how mothers and directors of child care centers perceived this child care allowance. One hundred and seventeen directors and one hundred and fifty six mothers in the Seoul, Kyunggi-Do, and Cheonbuk-Do areas participated in the survey. The results demonstrated that both the mothers and the directors of child care center exhibit more differences than similarities in terms of their views of child care allowances. Moreover, the perception on some issues of child care allowance differed significantly depending on the types of child care center in question, the mother's economic participation or family income. Issues of importance to the successful introduction of a child care allowance system were also discussed.

The result of this study can be summarized as follows. (1) The working mothers considered both parents have the responsibility on child care and strongly demanded the national support on child care. (2) The working mothers prefered own mother and relatives to child care center as a carer of infants and toddlers, but prefered child care center for children age 3-5.

2009년 7월부터 도입된 양육수당은 보육시설을 이용하지 않고 가정 내에서 양육되는 아동에 대한 형평성 차원에서 양육수당이 제공되는 것으로 보육시설을 이용하지 않는 국민기초생활수급자와 차상위 계층 2세 미만 영아에 대해 월 10만 원을 아동양육수당으로 제공하면서 시작되었다. 그러나 2013년에는 소득에 관계없이 만 0~2세의 아동을 대상으로 만 0세 20만 원, 만 1세 15만 원, 만 2~5세 10만 원의 지원금을 제공하기로 개정되었다. 2013년의 이러한 정책변화는 전년도인 2012년의 양육수당 정책과 비교해 볼 때, 760%의 재정 증액이 이루어진 것으로 그 지원의 확대 정도가 이례적으로 매우 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 양육수당의 급격한 확대에 주목하며 양육수당 정책형성과정에 대한 정책네트워크 분석을 시도하였다. 분석 결과, 지방선거, 총선 및 대선이 정책형성 과정 행위자들의 상호작용 및 네트워크 구조 등에 즉각적인 영향을 주었는데, 즉 정당 행위자들은 양육수당의 확대가 정당 행위자들의 이익(선거결과)에 직접적인 영향을 준다고 판단하고 있었다. 이러한 정책경쟁 과정에서 정부부처들과의 예산과 관련된 갈등은 오히려 논의를 다양화시켜 양육수당 논의는 활성화 되었다. 또한 총선 이후 새누리당의 공약에서 시작된 양육수당의 확대는 비슷한 복지 공약 등을 내세운 박근혜 후보가 대통령에 당선되면서 구체적으로 정책채택 단계로 접어들어 정책형성과정과 정책채택과의 밀접한 관계도 확인하였다.
