Purpose: This study was conducted to figure out the physical development and health status of elementary children in poverty. Method: 306 children in poverty registered in 3 regional children centers located in Incheon were selected. The results were compared with those of the physical status of students all over the country in 2008. Result: The children in poverty were relatively poor in the growth state such as height and weight, compared with those in non-disadvantage family children. In eyesight to be corrected, the children in poverty reached 26%. As a result of a blood laboratory test, the children with high T-cholesterol reached 5.84%; high SGOT/GPT 6.3%. In anemia, 41.4% of boys in poverty were suffering from it, compared to 7.5% of girls. In Internet addiction, children in poverty showed lower value than those in non-disadvantage children, but there are correlated between CDI and internet addiction test. Conclusions: These results implies the children in poverty have more physical and emotional problems, so they are in danger of related to health. These matters mean that the management by professional health care should be provided, and the plan and policy for promoting health for the children in vulnerable group should be established and provided.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the environment of poverty children as reported by the children on a questionnaire. The conception of the environment was divided into the physical environment and the sociopsychological environment. The dimensions of the physical environment included household, cultural, and play conditions. The sociopsychological environment included structural (family values, family relationships, and the reinforcement system) and process variables(affect, care, and communication). For the purpose of this survey was administered to 122 children living in a poverty area and 102 children living in a middle-high income area. Statistics used for data analysis were frequency, distribution, percentile, mean and one-way ANOVA. Major findings showed that (1) The physical environment as reported by the poverty children was meager compared with that of children in the middle-high income area: the households were more overcrowded, and cultural conditions, play materials, and space was more limited. (2) The Structural conditions of the sociopsychological environment as perceived by poverty children were more material and physical than that of children in the middle-high income area: family values were oriented more toward materialism: family relationships were more negative and distant: and the reinforcement system was based more on material reward and physical punishment. (3) Process variables were perceived by poverty children as more laissez-faire and rigid; the parents neglected their children and communicated unilaterally more than the middle-high income parents. (4) Poverty children's perception of the causes of poverty and wealth were perceived as personal and social factors.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate factors that influence sleep duration and sleep time poverty in terms of family characteristics, child characteristics, and time use. A series of data analyses were conducted on children's time use in two-parent families based on the 2013 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey. One major finding is that children's sleep duration and the probability of having a sleep time poverty are related to their mothers' job classifications. The factors influencing the duration of sleep time and the sleep time poverty are similar in terms of family characteristics and children's time use. The mother's job classification, family income, number of younger siblings, number of older siblings, children's private tutoring hours, computer game hours, and TV hours are statistically significant factors affecting the duration of sleep time and the probability of having a sleep time poverty. However, the factor with greatest influence on sleep time duration is private tutoring hours and the factor most affecting sleep time poverty is computer game hours. The mother's job classification is a relatively powerful determinant for predicting her children's sleep duration and sleep time poverty.

Little attempt has been made to empirically investigate the effects of childhood poverty on children's educational attainments and their everyday life in Bangladesh. Quality education is a prominent aspiration in the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), but there are few studies of school improvement in relation to the educational achievement of disadvantaged children living in rural Bangladesh. This article offers a theoretical understanding of childhood poverty and educational exclusion, building on the empirical research carried out in two rural areas to explore the following questions: Why do so many socio-economically disadvantaged children tend to dropout from formal secondary school? and Why do some succeed? After exploring the challenges of childhood poverty and educational exclusion, it shows how the challenges could be mitigated through attention to the ecology of human development in the contexts of individual children. Complex ways in which efforts can be made to tackle the challenges of childhood poverty are influenced by ecological factors within the context of the study. Recommendations for policy and practice are offered based on the findings to improve formal secondary schooling for socio-economically disadvantaged children in Bangladesh.

본 연구는 초등학교 4학년에서 6학년에 이르는 3개년에 걸쳐 종단적으로 관찰된 빈곤경험이 학업성취, 자아존중감, 우울 불안, 주의집중 문제, 공격성, 비행에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 아동의 빈곤경험을 지속빈곤, 일시빈곤, 비빈곤으로 나눠 발달산물을 비교한 결과, 학업성취에서 빈곤아동과 비빈곤아동 사이의 격차가 두드러지고 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 빈곤경험과 발달궤적의 관계를 분석한 결과, 학업성취에서는 비빈곤아동은 시간이 갈수록 성취수준이 향상되는 긍정적 변화방향을 보이나 빈곤아동은 성취수준이 낮아지는 부정적인 변화방향을 보였다. 또 주의집중 문제, 공격성, 비행의 발달궤적 변화에서는 빈곤아동은 비빈곤아동에 비해 다소 낮은 수준을 보였다. 아동의 개인적, 가족적 특성을 통제한 결과 빈곤의 영향은 학업성취에 대해서만 통계적으로 유의하였다.

본 연구는 한국복지패널 1차년도 자료를 이용하여 우리나라에서의 부모와 자녀간의 빈곤의 세대간 이전의 정도에 대한 분석결과를 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 빈곤의 세대간 이행 분석표와 부모 빈곤의 자녀 성인기 빈곤에 대한 로짓분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 부모빈곤은 자녀의 교육수준에 부정적 영향을 미치고 낮은 교육수준은 자녀의 성인기 빈곤 가능성을 현저하게 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 본 연구의 분석결과 부모 빈곤은 자녀의 교육연수의 매개효과를 통하여 성인기 빈곤을 증가시킨다는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 이러한 매개효과는 집단별 및 코호트별 분석에서도 확인되었다. 집단별 분석에 있어서는 아들에 비해 딸의 경우, 농촌출신에 비해 도시출신의 경우, 그리고 젊은 코호트에 비해 50대의 경우 상대적으로 빈곤의 세대간 이전 정도가 더 강한 것으로 나타났다.

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.

This study analyzes diverse factors in time poverty and quality of life in dual-earner families with preschool children that pertain to the individual, family, and occupation. Data were taken from the 17th edition of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study developed by the Korea Labor Institute in 2014. The sample consists of 826 households who are dual-earner families with preschool children. The major findings are as follows. First, this study identified inadequacies in personal care time for dual-earner families with preschool children. Second, the results show that gender, recognition of gender role, and overall satisfaction of occupation are related to the time poverty of dual-earner families. Men are more likely to experience time poverty than women, and equal recognition of gender role and satisfaction of occupation indicate a negative relation on the time poverty of dual-earner families with preschool children. Last, quality of life in non-time-poor groups is higher than for groups who experience time poverty. Also, health state, earned income, work-family life conflict, and overall satisfaction of occupation are commonly related to quality of life in both groups. The results suggest implications for comprehensive policies to address family time issues.

Since 1990, South Korean children living in relative poverty have increased whereas those living in absolute poverty have decreased until 2002 and then the decrease remained somewhat stagnant. A substantial body of research proposed a strong relations between child poverty and low quality well-being of the child. Poor children, in comparison to those of more affluent families, are more likely to have health, behavioral, social, and emotional problems. They are also more likely to grow up in families that provide less cognitive stimulations which, in turn, can negatively affect their cognitive and academic attainments. The present paper highlights the trends and the consequences of child poverty and suggests policy approaches based on the premise of decreasing poverty of low-income children and their families.

본 연구의 목적은 빈곤여부에 따라 아동의 가족내 사회적 자본, 가족외 사회적 자본 및 행복감에 차이가 있는지를 확인하고, 빈곤여부가 가족내 사회적 자본과 가족외 사회적 자본을 통해 아동의 행복감에 영향을 미치는지를 분석하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 <2013 한국아동청소년종합실태조사>를 통해 수집된 만9세~만12세에 해당하는 766명의 아동과 그 부모를 대상으로 한 2차 자료를 구조방정식 모형을 통해 분석하였다. 매개효과의 유의성을 검증하기 위해 부트스트래핑(bootstrapping)방법을 실시하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 빈곤아동은 일반아동에 비해 가족내 사회적 자본 뿐만 아니라 가족외 사회적 자본도 부족하며, 행복감 수준도 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 빈곤여부는 아동의 행복감에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 보다는, 매개변수로 투입된 가족내 그리고 가족외 사회적 자본을 통해 행복감에 간접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 매개경로도 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 빈곤가정 아동의 행복감에 영향을 미치는 가족내, 외의 사회적 자본을 증진시키기 위한 정책적, 실천적 제언을 제시하였다.
