이 논문은 혼인 및 이혼신고자료를 활용하여 1990년 이후 한국인의 국제결혼 증가추이와 이에 관련되는 사회인구학적 특성들을 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 이 논문은 국제결혼의 증가를 혼인력 변화의 한 단면으로 규정하고 그 인과구조에 관한 설명 틀을 제시하고 있다. 국제결혼의 급격한 증가를 초래한 주요 원인으로는 출산력의 지속적인 저하, 출생성비의 상승, 농촌-도시 인구이동, 양성평등 관념의 확산과 세계화가 강조되었다. 이 논문의 분석에 사용된 주요 자료는 $1999{\sim}2004$년 혼인신고자료와 $2000{\sim}2004$년의 이혼신고자료이다. 이 논문은 국제결혼한 부부들의 연령, 초혼 여부, 교육, 직업, 거주지 등의 특성을 분석하는데 초점을 맞추었다. 그리고 이혼한 부부의 인구학적 특성에 관한 분석도 이루어졌다. 이 연구의 분석결과는 국제결혼의 다양성이 그동안 간과되어 왔다는 사실을 확인해 준다. 한국 남자와 여자의 국제결혼은 부부의 사회인구학적 특성에서 확연하게 대비된다. 그리고 외국인 배우자의 국적에 따라서도 커다란 차이가 발견된다. 혼인적령인구의 성비불균형으로 인하여 혼인시장에 가해진 압박에 의해 촉진된 국제 결혼은 주로 한국 남자와 중국, 동남아시아 및 구소련연방 국가의 여자와의 결혼에 적용될 수 있다. 이에 비해 한국 남자와 선진국 여자의 결혼이나 한국 여자의 국제결혼은 가치관의 변화와 세계화에 따른 인적교류의 확대에 기인하는바 크다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to review the trend in international marriage of Koreans based on Census data from 2001 to 2007 and to analyse socio-demographic characteristics of the married couples. This study remarks that as the primary causes underlying the recent increase in international marriages of Koreans, the change of worldwide condition such as globalization and localization, the condition of countries to leave immigrants, the change of sex/age ratio in population, and the change of value systems are addressed. Census data from the marriage and divorce registration for the period 2001-2007 are analysed. This study covers analysis of foreign partners' nationalities, remarriage, age gap between partners, education levels, male partners' occupation, region of residence and divorce in international marriage of Koreans.

This study aims at identifying the recent change in marriage behaviors in Korea. The data used here is the vital statistics compiled from the vital registration system of which registration form is put on one from together with the civil registration form. According to the results of this analysis, since 1970 the number of marriages has steadily increased from about 300, 000 in the former of 1970s to about 400, 000 in the latter of 1980s, appproximately coincided with the change in population size at the marriageable age span. The few exceptions that can be seen in the 1970s seem to result from the impact of social upheavals during 1950s; since the birth cohorts affected by the low fertility during the Korean war and the post-war baby-boom generations chracterized by the high fertility entered the marriage market in the 1970s. However, the marriage rate shows a little increase from around 7 in the former of 1970s to around 9 in the latter of 1980s, indicating that the marriage prevalence has been more or less inconsiderably changed during this period. It is also found that the proportion of remarriage to the total marriages has increased to around 10 per cent in 1989, while decreasing that of first marriage. This fact can be attributable to the higher prevalence of divorces and the collapsing of the Confucianism ethic which contributed to expediting the remarriage of widows. Although this proportion is insignificant compared with that of the of more developed countries, it is not difficult to say that the proportion of remarriages will continue to increase in future. The age first at first marriage(AFM) which directly affects the span exposed to the risks pregnancy has increased to the age about 28 for male and about 25 for female in recent years. However, big difference in AFM between urban and rural areas has narrowed, resultant from the increasing involuntary postponement of marriage of rural young population who have met difficulties in seeking their bride or bridegroom in rural areas characterized by the heavy out-migration of young, particularly female, population. The present study shows the reverse relationship between AFM and educational attainment; i.e, the higher the educational attainment the lower the AFM. The conditions which are taken into considerations were the class and the family in the past time but which are, educational attainment, job and personal characteristics. With regard to the age condition, in recent years the male prefers the female younger than himself on the average by 3 years and vice versa, which is reduced form 4-5 years in beginning of 1970s. The age difference bride and bridegroom tends to decrease with the educational attainment increase. This may be attributable to the fact that the persons with the higher educational attainment prefer the love marriage and hence are more likely to choose their counterparts in the about same age. The education condition is characterized by the bridegroom having the higher educational level than bride. It is also significant to note that the proportion of love marriage has increased, whereas that of traditional arranged marriage has decreased. This is true in the urban areas than the rural areas, indicating that rights as well as responsibilities for marriage have been handed over the young population from their parents. In conclusion, the change in the marriage behaviors in Korea are characterized by increasing tendency for the postponement of first marriage, higher prevalences of divorces and a result remarriages, increase of love marriages, narrowing age difference between bride and bridegroom, etc. which are the main results of rapid industrization, increase in educational and economic activity opportunities and change in the ideals of marriages during the past decades. These phenomena prevailing in Korean society would affect not only the family structure that will become less proliferiated but the population size and structure. The most important is that the changes in marriage behaviors of Koreans and their impact on the society with respect to norms, values, morals, of individual and family in the social aspect, change in population size and structure in the demograpic aspects, and economic development in the economic aspects should be integrated into the plannings towards to the future.

Objectives: This study compared the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight between native-born and foreign-born women. Methods: By Using the birth registration data, every woman who gave birth between 2010 and 2016 in Korea was included in the analysis. Duration from marriage to pregnancy was measured by month and multiple socioeconomic and demographic characteristics were controlled. Preterm birth (<37 weeks) and low birth weight (<2.5 kg) were used for outcome variables. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for data analysis with Stata. Results: The risks of preterm birth and low birth weight for native-born and foreign-born women differed according to the duration of marriage or birth order. For the first infant, foreign-born women were more likely to have pereterm birth or low birth weight than the native-born in the early stage of marriage but nativeborn women had higher risks than the foreign-born in the middle and later stage of marriage. For the second infant, foreign-born women were less likely to have pereterm birth or low birth weight than the native-born regardless of the duration of marriage. Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrates that the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight for foreign-born women is concentrated on the early stage of marriage. Institutional and cultural supports should be given to foreign-born women to help their early settlement in the Korean society.

Objective: This study aimed to determine effects of doctor-patient communication on the quality of life among breast cancer survivors in 16 communities in southern China. Methods: Multistage random sampling was to use to recruit 260 females from the Guangzhou Cancer Registry Database who were diagnosed with breast cancer. A questionnaire provided data on the doctor-patient communication (including the doctor's attitude, the patient's participation with the medical decision and information about the disease) and QOL (quality of life), as measured using FACT-B. Univariate analysis, non-conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the associations between the doctor-patient communication and QOL. Results: Females who received good attitudes from doctors demonstrated higher FACT-B (OR=4.65, 95% CI: 1.68-12.86), social well-being (OR=5.88, 95% CI: 2.16-16.05), emotional well-being (OR=4.77, 95% CI: 1.92-11.88), and functional well-being ((OR=5.26, 95% CI: 1.90-14.52) compared to the females who encountered worse attitudes from their doctor, adjusting for age, education, marriage, employment, family income, years since diagnosis, TNM stage, radiation therapy, chemotherapy and side effects, particularly when the TNM stage was 0-II and the patients exhibited no side effects. Regardless of the length of time after diagnosis, doctors' good attitudes resulted in higher QOL scores. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the doctor-patient communication has a significant association with the QOL of breast cancer survivors, mainly dependent on the doctors' attitude. Effective intervention is required to develop optimal doctor-patient communication.

지난 약 십년사이 급변하는 한국의 가족환경 속에서 대중매체들은 혼인신고 지연 등을 포함 하여 동거(cohabitation)가 많이 증가하고 있다고 보고한다. 본 연구에서는 동거자의 특성을 검증하고, 한국가족에서 동거가 가지는 의미를 탐구하고자 하였다. 조사의 초점은 아니었지만 동거의 일면을 밝혀줄 수 있는 2개의 전국조사, 즉 혼인신고와 사회통계조사, 자료를 바탕으로 다변인 로짓분석을 실시하였다. 결과들은 대체로 서구문헌에서 제시하는 이론적 틀을 수용한다. 첫째, 동거는 이혼의 증가 등 가족제도의 전반적인 변화와 관련되어있다. 혼전동거의 비율이 초혼보다 재혼에서 높았고, 초혼과는 달리 이혼 후 재혼에서는 교육수준에 따른 혼전동거비율의 차이가 거의 없었다. 둘째, 취업이나 학력 등의 면에서 사회경제적 자원이 적은 남자들이 많은 남자들에 비하여 결혼보다 동거를 택할 확률이 대체로 높았다. 셋째, 부부간 취업, 교육수준, 연령차이 등 사회경제적 지위를 비교해 보면, 결혼커플보다 동거커플에서 성역할 평등 혹은 성역 할 반전이 더 활발한 것 같다. 학력, 취업, 가족가치관, 연령 등 동거커플들의 특성이 미혼자 및 이혼자뿐 아니라 결혼부부와도 특별히 유사하지 않다는 면에서, 현재 우리나라에서 행해지는 동거를 단순히 결혼의 연장선으로 볼 수는 없는 것 같다. 결혼을 하되 당분간 두고 본다는 의미를 넘어서, 동거를 선택할 수밖에 없는 이유가 있는 것이 아닌가 생각된다. 결혼을 유지하기 어려운 사회적 여건 때문에 동거가 확산되고 있는지, 그 원인, 과정 및 결과에 관한 보다 체계적인 후속 연구가 요청된다.

이 연구의 주된 목적은 국제결혼 부부 중에서 이혼한 부부의 사회인구학적 특징이 어떻게 변화하였는가를 살펴보고, 이들 부부의 연령과 교육 같은 사회인구학적 차이가 결혼 안정성에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는가를 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 통계청이 발표한 1995년부터 2005년까지의 혼인 및 이혼신고자료를 사용하였다. 분석결과는 크게 세 가지로 나누어볼 수 있다. 첫째, 국제결혼 부부의 사회인구학적 특징과 차이는 외국 출신 배우자의 성별과 국적에 따라 다르다. 사회인구학적 특징과 차이는 남편이 외국 출신인가 아니면 부인이 외국 출신인가에 따라 달라질 뿐만 아니라, 외국 출신 배우자의 구체적인 출신 국가별로도 큰 차이를 보인다. 둘째, 사회인구학적 특징 중에서 연령과 학력의 상이성은 국제결혼의 결혼 안정성에 전반적으로 부정적인 영향을 미친다. 특히 연령 상이성이 교육 상이성보다 결혼 안정성에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 셋째, 외국 출신 배우자의 성별과 출신국가는 사회인구학적 차이와 결혼 안정성 사이의 관계에도 영향을 미친다. 외국 출신 남편과의 국제결혼에 비해 외국 출신 부인과의 국제 결혼의 경우에 연령과 학력의 상이성이 결혼 안정성에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 크다. 특히 필리핀, 몽골, 우즈베키스탄을 제외한 외국 출신 부인의 경우에는 남편과 부인의 교육수준이 동일한 경우 결혼 안정성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 외국 출신 남편의 경우에는 남편의 교육 수준이 부인보다 높을 경우 결혼 안정성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다.

Background: The purpose of the present study was to determine geographic clustering of breast cancer incidence in Kanagawa Prefecture, using cancer registry data. The study also aimed at examining the association between socio-economic factors and any identified cluster. Materials and Methods: Incidence data were collected for women who were first diagnosed with breast cancer during the period from January to December 2006 in Kanagawa. The data consisted of 2,326 incidence cases extracted from the total of 34,323 Kanagawa Cancer Registration data issued in 2011. To adjust for differences in age distribution, the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) and the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of breast cancer were calculated for each of 56 municipalities (e.g., city, special ward, town, and village) in Kanagawa by an indirect method using Kanagawa female population data. Spatial scan statistics were used to detect any area of elevated risk as a cluster for breast cancer deaths and/or incidences. The Student t-test was performed to examine differences in socio-economic variables, viz, persons per household, total fertility rate, age at first marriage for women, and marriage rate, between cluster and other regions. Results: There was a statistically significant cluster of breast cancer incidence (p=0.001) composed of 11 municipalities in southeastern area of Kanagawa Prefecture, whose SIR was 35 percent higher than that of the remainder of Kanagawa Prefecture. In this cluster, average value of age at first-marriage for women was significantly higher than in the rest of Kanagawa (p=0.017). No statistically significant clusters of breast cancer deaths were detected (p=0.53). Conclusions: There was a statistically significant cluster of high breast cancer incidence in southeastern area of Kanagawa Prefecture. It was suggested that the cluster region was related to the tendency to marry later. This study methodology will be helpful in the analysis of geographical disparities in cancer deaths and incidence.

According to the 2012 social blue book released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China's urban population reached 50% in 2011. With the migration from marriage and new household registration, many urban collective assets have been formed in cities. Due to the unclear property rights and the emptiness of the main body, the distribution of collective assets mostly depends on the village cadres. The central government is preparing relevant laws and regulations to fill this legal gap, while the scheme of restructuring is decided by the villagers' vote, the local government coordinate the land acquisition and management. With the process of urbanization, a large number of second-generation of demolition studied abroad, which has attracted worldwide attention. In addition to the huge amount of compensation, due to the continuous rising of the land price, the value of the collective property and enterprises on the land also keep rising, the management agency of these assets is named village economic cooperative. This paper seeks to analyze the current status and future direction of these wealthy organizations, propose solutions to some existing problems.

We collected age determination cases which were done at Yonsei university dental hospital, department of oral medicine from 1976 to 1999 to analyze it's tendency among Koreans. We analyzed 435 clients cases which were stored by age estimation program from January 1993 to December 1999. The results are as follows: 1. There were no significant difference in the sexual distribution (male : 52.0%, female : 48.0%) and more than half percent (51%) were 20's and 30's. 2. Among the age determination clients, those who wanted to decrease their age (50.3%) and those who wanted to increase their age (49.7%) shows similar in number. And the former case were predominant in the female clients, but the latter case in the male clients. Also the clients below six years of age were predominant in the former case, but the clients more than sixty were predominant in the latter case. 3. The purposes of age correction showed different distribution for ages: job or employment for 20's and 30's, marriage for 20's, registration for school for below six, welfare and other social services for 50 and older. 4. Age was estimated by Nolla's growth stage for 12 and under, calcification of the second and third molar for 12~20, and for 20 and over, Takei's tooth abrasion model was used. 5. The alleged age was in accordance with the documents and other information given by clients, but in the 20.6% of the estimation cases, the alleged age was discarded. In the results of the analysis of age determination cases in Koreans, many of the cases resulted from our historical turbulence and social distinctiveness, causing an increase in the necessity for age correction in each age group. For more accurate determination for each age group, further studies with Koreans must be done continuously.
