Purpose - With rapid population aging in Korea, changes in the population structure will result in a rise in the fiscal burden. This paper investigates the effects of population aging on fiscal spending based on Korea's province data and country panel data from the OECD. Research design, data, and methodology - We use province-level fiscal data from Local Finance Integrated Open System and the Korean Statistical Information Service and also collect country panel data from the OECD. To investigate the relationship between population aging and fiscal expenditures, our analysis uses the fixed effects model. Results - The empirical analysis based on Korean local finance and country panel data show that population aging has a positive impact on social welfare expenditures and it also has a positive impact on spending related to children and the elderly, implying that population aging may lead to an increase in fiscal spending via an increase in social welfare expenditures and spending related to children and the elderly. Conclusion - These empirical results suggest that countries like Korea that expect to experience rapid population aging need to pay more attention to prepare for the expected increase in age-related spending in the near future.

본 논문은 개인수준의 인구사회학적 요인과 지역수준의 공공복지 지출규모가 개인의 자원활동(자원봉사 및 기부)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 다층적으로 분석한 연구이다. 분석을 위해 37,648명의 개인자료와 16개 광역자치단체 자료에 대해 위계적 선형모형(HLM) 분석방법을 활용하였다. 분석결과 개인특성에 해당하는 성별, 나이, 경제활동, 소득수준, 교육수준 요인은 모두 유의미한 영향이 나타난 반면 지역의 공공복지지출 규모는 개인의 자원봉사와 기부에 대해 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 공공복지와 자원활동의 관계에 대한 이론 및 정책적, 실천적 시사점을 제시하고, 연구의 한계와 향후 연구 주제를 제언하였다.

In this study there was the analysis of government incentives and resident support of public crematoriums, typically identified in Korea as a locally unwanted land use (LULUs), in the metropolitan area. The study looked at what government programs would be potential incentives for allowing the crematoriums to exist in metropolitan communities. Such programs were diverse, with projects focused on: enhancing resident welfare, increasing resident income, funeral facilities and management consignment, community oriented programs, education, funding, and others. Among them, it was found that residents were most in support of programs for enhancing resident welfare and increasing income among residents. In order to resolve the complexities of community support for LULUs and government incentives to shift public perception of cremation, three main policies are proposed. First, it would be necessary to compliment additional project support policies which provide medical services, resident prefered projects, and improvement of substandard housing. Second, it would be important to establish ordinances concretely identifying residential support projects based on community needs assessment. Lastly, it would be of the government's best interest to build policies for resident supported projects that reflect local conditions and the residents' demands for allowing non-preferred facilities to be built, and then to analyze the economic feasibility of these demands.

Child Friendly Cities (CFC) is a framework for action with the aim of implementing the UN CRC led by local government in an urban context. A number of surveys with 755 children and adolescents were conducted in order to assess the community's child-friendliness level of Seoul. The results of this study were as follows : 1) Comprehensive assessment of the city's child-friendliness was overall seen to be negative. 2) In regards to the city's child-friendliness, the assessments of Children were more positive than those of the adolescents. 3) Boys assessed the city's child-friendliness more positively than girls. 4) The children and adolescents living in more wealthy communities assessed the city's child-friendliness more positively than those living in poorer areas. This study suggested that a local action plan for the Child Friendly Cities must be implemented to fulfill the CFC standards.

The objective of this study is to examine and provide guidelines for regional governments, communities, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty-reduction activities that are more effective, efficient, and targeted. Besides, this research's specific aims are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimization of potential sources of local income, 2) increasing per-capita income, and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and social-economic inequality of the community. The study was conducted in North Morowali District, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, in 2018-2019. The research approach used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. Data sources include sources from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Regional Statistics. The results of this study are based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) indicators that there are four priority scales in poverty reduction, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV). Therefore, as a solution to poverty alleviation strategies, the cost approach through regional economic optimization and local income sources and community empowerment factors are essential. Apart from that, the involvement between elements (government, organizations, society, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize poverty reduction can be optimally overcome.

The purpose of this study was to explore how married female immigrants adjust to their lives in Korea. A total of 15 women from three different countries participated in the study. The major issues that these women faced included communication breakdowns with their husband and other family members, financial problems as well as problems with raising children in a different culture. The findings showed that such problems were usually rooted in a lack of Korean cultural knowledge and skills. Additionally, the inaccurate use of the language by married female immigrants who have lived in Korea for longer than six months was often fossilized. For instance, because they usually learned the language in a local dialect, it took them longer to distinguish the dialect from standard Korean. The results found that married female immigrants who received both Korean lessons and family life education instructions overcame their culture shock and adapted to Korean culture more easily than those who did not receive such instructions.

이 연구는 2017년부터 고령사회에 진입한 우리나라의 국내 노인복지시설, 특히 경로당이 어떠한 서비스를 제공하고 있는지 알아보고 차후 발전 방향을 제시하였다. 발전 방향 제시를 위해서 독일, 스웨덴, 일본, 3곳의 사례를 조사하였고 12명의 고령층을 대상으로 심층인터뷰를 진행하였다. 심층인터뷰와 사례조사에 따르면 첫째, 많은 프로그램으로 사람들이 많이 참여할 수 있도록 하는 것, 둘째, 경로당이 결코 나이가 많은 노인들만 이용하는 곳이 아니라는 분위기로 만들어야 한다는 것, 셋째, 노인들이 스스로 사회에 참여하고 자립할 수 있도록 프로그램을 제공하는 것이 중요하다. 현재 경로당은 지역별로 다른 프로그램을 적용하고 있어 어떤 방식으로 프로그램이 진행되는지 알지 못했다는 점이 이 연구의 한계점이다. 향후 연구에서는 국내의 경로당 사례를 조사하여 국내의 특성에 맞고 지역 차이 없이 공통으로 진행될 수 있는 프로그램의 구체적인 제안이 필요하다.

이 연구는 오늘날 일할 기회를 상실하고 있는 지역 청년세대에게 일할 기회와 사회탐색 경험을 제공하면서 소득을 보장해 줄 수 있는 방안을 '일자리보장제'에서 찾고자 한다. 일자리보장제는 일할 의지와 능력이 있는 모든 시민에게 정부(지자체)가 일자리를 제공하는 것으로 기본소득의 개념에 가까우며, 이 연구에서는 청년세대를 대상으로 검토하였다. 이를 위해 사회적경제인 환경친화적, 가족 친화적 마을기업과 연계해 일과 사회적 가치 경험, 소득보장을 지원할 수 있는 추진체계를 제안하였다. 청년세대의 시대정신은 사회발전에 있어 중요한 견인차 역할을 하여야 한다. 그러나 고용 없는 성장시대의 사회양극화 현상 속에서 사회발전의 주역이 돼야 할 청년세대들이 노동권과 생존권을 보장받지 못하고 희망을 잃어가고 있는 것이 오늘날 우리 사회 청년의 현실이다. 청년실업이 심각한 사회문제가 되면서 지자체마다 청년구직을 위해 청년수당이나 취업지원사업 등을 추진하고 있다. 광주광역시 역시 2017년부터 「광주청년일경험드림」사업을 추진해 청년구직자에게 공공기관 및 기업에서의 일 경험과 일정 소득을 지원하고 있다. 이 사업은 청년들에게 일과 소득지원 측면에서 만족도가 높은 편이긴 하지만, 단시간·단기간 근무로 인한 업무습득의 한계와 정규직 전환의 문제는 해결되어야 할 숙제로 지적되고 있다.

본 연구는 서울 영등포구 대림동 인근에 집단적으로 거주 및 활동하고 있는 중국 동포들을 심층 면담하는 질적연구방법을 사용하였다. 이를 통해 이들의 이주초기와 현재의 지역사회에 대한 인식변화 및 현실문제를 극복하려는 대응방법을 고찰하였다. 이들이 처해 있는 현실과 갈등, 현안의 극복 노력, 동포사회 내부변화와 지향방향 등을 이해하는 것은 우리사회로의 통합에 핵심변수가 된다. 이들은 이미 방대한 거주지를 형성했고 소수자집단화 되었으며 인정투쟁을 하는 동시에 권력의 열세를 극복하고자 정치권력을 쟁취하려고 시도하고 있다. 이들에 대한 사회복지적 개입은 외국인 유입으로 초래되는 사회파편화 방지를 위해 보다 적극적인 것이어야 하고 다민족 다문화 현상에 대한 우리의 적응과 이들을 주민으로 받아들이기 위한 상호계몽적인 질서를 구축, 전파하기 위한 방안이어야 한다.

This study aims to propose the improvement direction of spatial organization of orphanage facilities by reflecting the international trend of child welfare facilities including 'enhancement of habitability', 'opening to the local community' and 'multi-functionality' on the basis of ideas of 'right of housing' and 'normalization'. Orphanage facilities are evolving from 'facilities' to accommodate unfortunate children to the concept of the 'community-care', and the residential space is also rapidly shifting to 'cottage' type resembling a residential type of ordinary family so as to enhance the self-esteem and relationship. To suggest the future-oriented changeability of current orphanage facilities, the present study conducted a nationwide survey of child welfare facilities and four Visiting researches of cottage type orphanage with different locations to investigate the appropriateness of housing type, organization of common use space, mode of management and facilities criteria. The results of this study are following: 1) For enhancement of habitability it is suggested that cottage type with various plans in the form of ordinary housing is appropriate, that the number of children per cottage is six or so, and that the number of less than two or three children per room is recommended. At the same time the adjustment of facilities criteria, simplified or complex, is suggested to support a similar residence pattern to ordinary home. 2) Specialized programs must be introduced to establish a base of welfare-network for community children according to features of location and a complex management must be sought in the connection with neighboring public facilities. 3) To secure the residential environment and quality of life for children, the concept of a simple playground space by the current facilities criteria must be broken away to reinforce the network of various outdoor spaces closely connected with living space.
