The study examined and compared relationships among self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic achievement of children in poverty and the comparative groups. The subjects of this study were 97 elementary school students who had benefited from the free meal project and 97 students as the comparative group who did not receive the benefit. Descriptive statistics, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ tests, and multiple regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that academic scores of the comparative group were statistically higher than those of children in the poverty group in Korean language, mathematics, science, and sociology. Also, self-esteem of children in the poverty group was lower than that of the comparative group's in terms of leadership and popularity. The poverty group also showed lower self-efficacy in self-regulated efficacy tasks. Finally, multiple regression analysis demonstrated that different sub-factors of self-esteem and self-efficacy predicted the academic achievement of children in poverty group and the comparative groups.

본 연구에서는 한국 사회에서 빈곤의 여성화 현상과 빈곤의 성적 격차를 실증적으로 분석해 보았다. 여성가구주 가구의 빈곤율은 16.9%로 남성가구주 가구 7.9%의 2.6배였으며, 특히 20-64세 연령계층의 여성가구주 가구의 빈곤위험이 남성가구주 가구에 비해 2.2배 높았고, 65세 이상 가구의 경우에도 빈곤위험이 1.9배였다. 경제위기를 전후한 빈곤의 성적격차의 역동적 변화를 분석한 결과, 경제위기 절정기에는 양성간에 빈곤의 보편화 현상을 보였으나, 남성가구주 가구가 경제위기에서 비교적 빠른 회복을 보이는 반면, 여성가구주 가구의 빈곤율은 경제위기 이전의 2/3 수준으로만 회복되며 빈곤 고착화 현상을 보여, 경제위기의 회복과정에서 성적 격차가 확대되었다. 또한, 빈곤의 영향요인 분석 결과, 성 자체 뿐만 아니라 성의 특성을 사회적으로 규정하는 교육수준, 취업상태 등의 요인들이 복합적으로 빈곤에 영향을 미치고 있음을 밝혔다. 이는 빈곤에 영향을 미치는 가족, 노동시장, 사회보장체계 등의 중층적 결절점에 성(gender)이 놓여져 있기 때문에, 성의 차원을 고려하지 않고서는 빈곤문제의 본질에 제대로 접근할 수 없음을 보여주는 것이다. 따라서 빈곤문제에 대한 효과적 접근을 위해서는 성적 차원을 고려한 여성친화적(women-friendly) 가족, 노동시장, 사회보장정책이 개발되고 채택되는 것이 필수적이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of anxiety and demographic variables on clothing benefits sought of college students. The subjects were 600 college students in Seoul, Korea (male 218, female 382). Five factors of clothing benefit sought derived by factor analysis : F.1 status symbol : F.2 fashion : F.3 economic : F.4 management : F.5 comfort . The poverty and the opposite sex anxiety had positive relations with status symbol and fashion in both male and female. In case of the female, the poverty and the opposite sex anxiety had negative relations with comfort. The female gave more importance to status symbol and fashion than the male did, but the male gave more importance to comfort of clothing than the female did. Status symbol of clothing was influenced by clothing expenditure and the poverty anxiety in the male(= >.349), and influenced by clothing expenditure, the poverty anxiety, and ail academic fear in the female(=.238). Fashion was influenced by clothing expenditure and the poverty anxiety in total subject(= 248/.139). In general, the college student with higher poverty anxiety gave more importance to fashion and status symbol of clothing in both male and female.

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.

높은 청년실업률과 계속되는 경기침체로 청년층의 경제적 불안이 심화되고 있지만 청년층의 빈곤을 고용의 관점에서 분석한 연구는 드물다. 특히 청년빈곤이 근로빈곤의 특성을 가진다는 점에서 이들의 고용불안정과 고용특성이 빈곤의 이행에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구가 요구된다. 본 논문은 한국복지패널데이터의 제3차(2007년)~제5차(2009년) 자료를 이용해 청년 근로능력자의 빈곤이행(빈곤탈출과 빈곤진입)에 영향을 미치는 요인을 고용형태와 고용상태 변화를 중심으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 청년층은 빈곤진입 및 탈출이 활발했으며 교육수준이 높고 비취업 상태에 놓인 경우가 많았다. 정규직일수록, 취업상태를 지속할수록 빈곤을 탈출할 가능성은 높아지고 빈곤에 진입할 가능성은 낮아진다는 것을 확인하였다. 청년층의 빈곤을 완화하기 위해서는 이들의 높은 교육수준과 불안정 고용을 고려한 정책적 지원이 필요하다.

Purpose: To investigate the frequency of breakfast skipping and affecting factors in children in poverty. Methods: The subjects were 644 children who were receiving the services of community child center or delivery meal-box. They were asked about their socio-demographic characteristics, health behaviors and breakfast-skipping status in the survey. Results: Breakfast-skippers were 17.4% of the subjects. The count of negative health behaviors in breakfast skippers was higher than that in eaters, and the behaviors of exercise, screen time, alcohol experience, and smoking experience were worse in skippers than in eaters. The odds ratio of breakfast skipping was higher in female children (OR=2.53, p<.001), those with single father (OR=3.76, p<.001) or single mother (OR=1.83 p=.030), those with alcohol experience (OR=1.82, p=.022) and smoking experience (OR=2.80, p=.003), and under-weight ones (OR=2.54, p=.048). Conclusion: Breakfast skipping is associated with gender, family structure, alcohol experience, smoking experience and BMI. Children in poverty need comprehensive health promotion programs including interventions for breakfast skipping and health behaviors.

There has been increasing evidence of the positive effects in informal science programs to promote the youths' positive development. However, relatively a small number of informal science programs target specific student populations such as youth in poverty with little research done about the important program factors. This case study presents an exemplary informal science education program (focusing on Earth Science Education or more specifically, water in urban environments) for youth in poverty in a midwest city of the United States. This study explored the most important characteristics of the program that could lead to positive development for the youth. Through a number of observations of the program and interviews with the participants, this study employs inductive and interpretive research methods. Findings show that the program managers' beliefs about the youths' knowledge and experiences, their relationship building skills, and their cooperative work are very important. A concrete mission for the program and structured institutional support to hire the youth as paid museum staff are also important in assuming their responsibility and building identity as an active social member.

Purpose - This study reviews Cameroon's economic growth, crisis, and recovery, aiming to: review the principal factors of Cameroon's real economic growth; explore the causes of its economic crisis analyze the determinants of its economic recovery; and suggest appropriate policies to ameliorate economic growth. Research design, data, and methodology - By reviewing the relevant literature and economic indicators, we observed that from the 1980s to the present, Cameroon experienced all the possible business cycle phases: economic prosperity (until 1985), economic and social crisis (1986-1994), and renewed economic growth (after 1995). Results - As a result of the economic changes in Cameroon, its macroeconomic indicators have evolved. Poverty and inequality have changed in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Throughout the examined period, rural poverty has become more widespread, deeper, and more severe than urban poverty, while inequality has experienced greater increases in urban areas relative to rural zones. Conclusions -To reap maximum benefits and reduce poverty from these economic changes, Cameroon needs to liberalize trade and foreign exchange transactions to attract foreign investment, especially during the current globalization.

빈곤 청소년의 심리적 적응유연성, 사회적 적응유연성, 학교 적응유연성 발달궤적을 확인하고 세가지 적응유연성 영역간 종단적 상호관계 및 각 적응유연성 발달궤적에 영향을 미치는 보호요인을 규명하기 위해 한국청소년패널조사(KYPS)의 중2 패널 1차년도에서 5차년도까지의 자료와 잠재성장모형을 이용하였다. 빈곤 청소년의 심리적 적응유연성, 사회적 적응유연성, 학교 적응유연성은 4년동안 다소 증가하였다. 심리적 적응유연성 초기값이 높은 청소년의 증가속도가 상대적으로 느렸으며, 사회적 적응유연성과 학교 적응유연성은 초기값과 변화율간에 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 각 적응유연성 초기값 간에는 상관관계가 높고, 변화율간에도 상관관계가 있었다. 심리적 적응유연성 초기값은 심리적 적응유연성 변화율에만 영향을 미쳤고, 사회적 적응유연성 초기값도 사회적 적응유연성 변화율에만 영향을 미쳤다. 이 두 가지 적응유연성은 타 영역의 적응유연성 변화율에는 영향을 미치지 않았으나 학교 적응유연성 초기값은 학교 적응유연성 변화율에 영향을 미치지 않고 심리적 적응유연성 변화율에만 영향을 미쳤다. 각 적응유연성에 영향을 미치는 보호요인을 분석한 결과 자아존중감, 부모감독은 심리적 적응유연성 초기값에 영향을 미쳤으며, 자아개념, 자아존중감, 부모애착 등은 사회적 적응유연성 초기값에 영향을 미쳤다. 자아개념, 자아존중감, 가족구조, 가구소득, 진학 예상 고교 유형 등은 학교 적응유연성 초기값에 영향을 미쳤으며, 학교 적응유연성 초기값은 심리적 적응유연성 변화율에 영향을 미쳤다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 빈곤 청소년의 적응유연성 향상을 위한 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.
