This study contributes to the existing literature by empirically exploring the causes of child labor in the Indonesian labor market. Factors identified include rate of poverty, average wages, education participation, and quality of education. This study utilized an aggregate data of 301 districts and cities across 34 provinces sourced from the National Labor Force Survey and the National School/Madrasah Accreditation Board of the Republic of Indonesia. Using a multiple regression analysis, the study found strong evidence of the positive effect of poverty on child labor. Conversely, the study documented the adverse impact of average wages on child labor in Indonesia. Similarly, the participation in the education system also contributed negatively to the child labor. Finally, the quality of education services is found to have a negative effect on child labor in Indonesia. The findings of this study suggest that, in efforts to reduce the involvement of children in the workforce, the poverty eradication program should be enhanced. The wages should be continuously improved, at least, in par with the changes in prices. Finally, the quality of education and its services ought to be further enhanced to attract more child student participation rates across junior high schools nationwide.

The study covers three components of the facility for protecting public utilities market participants in the public utilities market: prevention of potential poverty, reduction of existing poverty and compensation to the injured party in a case of tort that exacerbates or threatens to exacerbate its poverty. The analysis is based on official statistical information on the activities of the public utilities sector. Operational information of public utility service providers regarding certain indicators of their activity in the work was not studied. This approach narrows the empirical basis of the study, but at the present stage in the context of different rates of implementation of changes in regions, sectors and at the level of individual entities, as well as lack of uniformity in the structure of indicators published by service providers, analysis allows to identify «bottlenecks» of legal regulation, which are systemic in nature and largely independent of the subjective factor.

이 연구의 목적은 한국을 포함한 OECD 주요국을 대상으로 사회구조적 요인, 복지제도, 노동시장 및 정치제도 등 독신모가구 빈곤의 국가 간 다양성에 영향을 끼치는 거시적 원인을 규명하는 것이다. 1981년부터 2012년 기간에 대해 불균형패널설계(unbalanced panel design)방법을 적용한 결합시계열회귀분석을 실시했다. 연구결과 독신모가구의 빈곤율은 국가 간 다양성이 현저했다. 1인당GDP는 빈곤위험감소에 기여하지 못했고, 여성고용율과 15세미만 아동비율은 빈곤위험을 증가시켰다. 전체사회복지지출, 아동에 대한 현금지출, 노조조직률, 정규직에 대한 고용보호, 비례대표선거제도, 누적좌파내각, 누적여성의석수는 독신모가구의 빈곤위험을 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 한국은 경제성장 일변도와 노동시장유연화 위주의 탈빈곤전략에서 탈피해 보편적 복지제도, 아동에 대한 복지급여와 일-가정양립정책을 확대할 필요가 있다. 나아가 노조조직률향상과 고용보호확대 등 조정된 노동시장제도를 설계하고, 비례대표선거제도 등 합의제정치모델을 도입해 좌파정치세력과 여성의 정치적 대표성을 확립할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 동학적 미시모의실험(Micro-simulation) 모형인 MMESP(ver. 2.1)를 활용하여 절대빈곤선으로 간주되는 최저생계비를 기준으로 공적연금 수급액수준을 장기적으로 전망 평가한다. 즉, 본 논문에서 제시하는 노인빈곤율은 공적연금소득만을 고려한 전망치임을 주의할 필요가 있다. 그 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공적연금액의 장기적 변화는 경제성장효과와 제도효과로 분해할 수 있다. 두 효과를 모두 고려하는 경우, 공적연금액이 최저생계비 이하인 노인가구는 2040년대에 20% 정도수준까지 감소한다. 그러나 경제성장효과를 제외한 제도효과만을 고려하는 경우 노인빈곤율은 장기적으로 90% 내외 수준에 이를 것으로 전망된다. 둘째, 기초연금을 A값의 10% 수준으로 고정한다고 할지라도 경제성장효과를 제외한 공적연금 제도 효과만을 보면, CPI에 연동하는 현행 제도에 비해 노인빈곤율을 10%p 정도 더 축소시킬 뿐이다. 셋째, 현행 국민연금의 급여산식에는 소득수준과 가입기간의 현실적인 상관관계가 고려되지 못함으로써 소득계층간 연금급여의 소득대체율이 역전될 가능성이 높다. 넷째, 2007년 개혁으로 소득대체율이 인하되지 않았다면 현행 체계(국민연금+기초연금)에 비해 과거 체계가 노인빈곤 완화 측면에서는 더 효과적일 수 있다. 즉, 개혁 이전의 제도 하에서는 국민연금만으로도 노인빈곤율은 약 70% 수준까지 축소되었을 것이다. 이것은 2007년 개혁을 통한 연금재정 상의 이득을 얻기 위해 지불한 비용이다. 연금개혁의 올바른 평가는 사회적 편익과 비용을 동시에 고려할 때 가능하다는 점에서 기존 논의에 대한 재검토와 향후 발전적인 논의가 필요하다.

This study analyzed the distribution of forest income and other variable sources of rural household income and considered their importance for the reduction of income inequality and poverty. We employed Gini decomposition to measure the contribution of forest income and other sources of income to income equality and assess whether they were inequality-increasing or inequality-decreasing in the 14 villages. The forest income Gini correlation with total income was very high, $R_k=0.6960$, and the forest income share of total rural household income was 35% ($S_k=0.3570$). If the income earned from forest activities was removed, the Gini index would increase by 10.3%. Thus, if people could not access forest resources because of vast deforestation, perhaps from the limitations of government-managed forestry, unplanned clearing of forest land for agriculture or the granting of ELCs, there would be an increase in income inequality and poverty among rural households. The findings suggest that policy makers should look beyond agriculture for rural development, as forest resources provide meaningful subsistence income and perhaps contribute to both preventing and reducing poverty and inequality in rural communities. The study found that non-farm activities were inequality-increasing sources of income. The share of non-farm income to the total rural household income was $S_k=0.1290$ and the Gini index of non-farm income was very high, $G_k=0.8780$, compared with forest and farm income. This disagrees with other studies which have reported that non-farm income was inequality-decreasing for the rural poor.

The goal of this study is to understand how financial inclusion (FI) as influenced by Internet subscribers in India, affects India's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This study makes use of secondary data that was collected from 16 Indian states and one Union Territory between the fiscal years of 2018 and 2020. The goal of this study has been investigated using panel data regression analysis (PDR). And the study's findings indicate that wages received through MNREGA accounts and post office operating accounts under the supervision of Internet subscribers have a significant negative impact on India's SDGs, demonstrating how financial inclusion is harming the country's efforts to achieve sustainable development. This study suggests that it is important to pay attention to rural areas' access to the digital environment and their degree of digital literacy. These findings imply that improving the MGNREGA program and employees' pay might help the government alleviate poverty in India. Financial inclusion also depends heavily on financial literacy. The government should improve its digital infrastructure in rural and urban areas so that people there may better understand and utilize it given that it promotes financial inclusion, digitalization, economic advancement, rural development, and poverty reduction.

본 연구는 저소득층의 4년제 대학진학을 제약하는 두 가지 요인, 즉 등록금 납부여력 부족과 불우한 성장환경의 누적적 영향에 따른 학업능력 부족 중 무엇의 영향이 더 큰지 살펴보았다. 희귀분석 결과, 중학교 시기의 학업성취와 몇몇 가정배경 변수들은 유의한 반면, 이들 변인 통제 시 대학진학 시기의 가구소득은 4년제 대학 진학에 거의 영향을 주지 못했다. 또한 Carneiro and Heckman(2003)이 미국 고등교육 격차 원인규명을 위해 수행한 분석을 한국 상황에 적용해 본 결과, 학업능력 및 가정배경의 격차로 4년제대에 진학하지 못하는 비율이 등록금 납부가 어려워 진학하지 못하는 비율을 크게 능가했다. 이는 등록금 인하와 같은 단기적 제약요인의 완화만으로는 대입격차문제 해결이 힘듦을 시사한다.

The forest of the Huaphanh Province (HP) has continued to decrease at 0.6% (10,560 ha) per year from 1992 to 2010. In the past few decades, the government of Laos and the Huaphanh Provincial Authority have been trying to address the root causes of deforestation. This study attempts to examine the factors effecting the decrease of the forest cover in the HP by analyzing the influence of the local socio-economic development and implementation of forest management policies on changes in the forest cover. The social data of the province focused on population growth and distribution between urban and rural areas including the number of poor people and the economic growth of three sectors, namely agriculture and forestry, industry, and service, while the implementation of the state forest management policy focused on the state forest management plan, tree plantation, forest land use planning and allocation to households, and shifting cultivation including annual upland rice and maize cultivation. In addition, government reports on socio-economic and rural development including poverty eradication of other provinces, where an increase in the forest cover was observed, were also collected and analyzed using qualitative and comparative analysis. The results from this study indicate that the decrease in forest cover in the Huaphanh Province appears to depend on a very slow economic growth and reduction in rural poverty of the province. The increase in the rural population in the province led to an increase in farm households and are as for shifting cultivation. As a result, forests were cleared leading to a decrease in the forest cover.

사회보장제도에 대한 정책평가의 핵심은 그것이 국민들을 사회적 위험으로부터 얼마나 효과적으로 보호하고 있는지를 살펴보는 데 있다. 본 논문은 <한국복지패널>자료를 이용하여 현재 시행중인 5개 주요 소득보장제도가 빈곤의 위험에 대처하는 데 얼마나 효과가 있는지를 포괄성과 충분성에 주목하여 분석하였다. 이때 각 제도별로는 물론 5개 제도 묶음이 나타내는 효과에 대해서 살펴보았고, 그 효과를 세분화된 집단별로 비교하였다. 그 결과 빈곤층 가운데 약 35%가 소득보장제도의 혜택을 전혀 받지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 노인층에 대한 소득보장제도의 포괄성과 충분성은 상대적으로 높았으나 비노인층, 특히 실업자에 대한 포괄성과 충분성이 매우 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 점들은 한국의 소득보장제도가 여전히 많은 개선의 여지를 남겨두고 있다는 점, 특히 근로연령층 대상 소득보장제도의 개선과 확충이 필요하다는 사실을 시사한다.
