본 연구는 청소년 한부모의 사회적 배제와 사회적 관계망 특성이 부모효능감과 양육스트레스, 부정적 양육 행동에 미치는 영향과 한부모가족 정책 지원의 조절효과를 검증하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 자료는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 실시한 '청소년 임신 출산 및 자녀 양육 실태조사' 원자료 중 일부로, 조사 당시 자녀를 양육 중인 24세 이하의 청소년 한부모 262명의데이터만을 추출하여 분석을 실시하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 청소년 한부모들은 경제적으로 어려운 비양친 가정에서 자란 경우가 절반에 가까우며, 대부분 비취업 상태에서 월평균 60만원 정도의 소득으로 미취학 자녀를 양육하고 있어 자립이어려운 상황이었다. 둘째, 청소년 한부모의 부모효능감 향상에는 가족 등의 지지가, 바람직한부모 행동 유발에는 가까운 이들과의 밀도있는 관계가 유의미한 영향 요인으로 검증되어 사회적 배제보다 사회적 관계망이 양육 태도와 행동에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 청소년 한부모의 부모효능감과 양육 스트레스에 있어 사회적 배제 및 사회적 관계망으로 인한일부의 부정적 영향이 정책 지원으로 완화됨이 검증되었다. 분석을 통해 한부모가족 정책 지원이 물리적 차원을 넘어 일부 심리정서에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 사회적 기제임이 밝혀졌으며, 중장기적으로 소득과 고용지원, 수당지급 형식 외에 양육 기술 습득 등의 조력이 가능한 돌봄지원을 강화해야 함을 제안하였다.

The adolescent birth rate has doubled in the recent decade. As a result, the Korean government has implemented support for adolescent single-parent families by expanding the scope of coverage of the Single-parent Family Support Act in 2010. In order to understand whether experiences of facility entry programs and the Single-parent Family Support Act for adolescent single-parents were helpful or not, this study verified the relationship to mental health. This study utilized a part of the National Youth Policy Institute's 'Research on the Actual Condition of the Adolescent Pregnancy, Birth and Rearing Children.' Participants of the study were 218 adolescent single-parents at the age of 24 and younger. This study used the research methods of descriptive statistical analysis, ${\chi}^2$test, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. The findings and discussion of this study are as below: Firstly, the depression level of adolescent single-parents who had been raised by grandparents was higher than other family types to a meaningful standard and adolescent single-parent's cognition of the original family's economic level was related to self-esteem and parenting efficacy. Secondly, the practical single-parent family support policy for adolescent single-parent's pregnancy, birth and rearing children has shown a higher reception rate, and medical service of facility entry programs has a higher satisfaction level. However, some of the facility entry programs and the Single-parent Family Support Act have a low reception rate and it should be considered whether to maintain them or not.Lastly, parts of facility entry programs and the Single-parent Family Support Act for adolescent single-parents have increased self-esteem and parenting efficacy and reduced parenting stress and depression's levels.

The Korean government implemented better support for adolescent single-parent families by expanding the coverage of the Single-parent Family Support Act in 2010. In order to understand the effect, this study verified the moderating effect of the single-parent family policy's support for child rearing in the context of adolescent female single-parent's stress levels and education sustainability. This study utilized part of the National Youth Policy Institute's 'Research on the Actual Condition of the Adolescent Pregnancy, Birth and Rearing Children'. Participants of the study were 248 adolescent single-parents aged 24 and below. The findings and discussion of this study are as follows. First, the stress level of adolescent female single-parent in continuing studies was lower than those for discontinued studies. Students who discontinued their education in the middle of studies showed an increase in life stress level relative to age because they had a low level of education and had discontinued studies before pregnancy. Second, the public nanny service has been verified as an element to increase the continuation of education by controlling the level of stress. It is advisable to fortify and expand the scope of support for childcare services in the form of a study assistant or child education assistant. Last, adolescent single-parent childcare subsidies have been verified as a direct factor that raised the meaningful level of education continuity potential to a meaningful standard that can be seen as a more effective method than general policy support for single-parent families.

With the increase of single-parent families in the Korean society, the perception of the function and structure of the family is changing. Thus, a public transition toward embracing single-parent families as another form of family is necessary. This study focuses on the families of divorced female single-parents using Walsh's family resilience framework with a strengths-based perspective. It aims to provide the basic data necessary for deducing policy-related and practical ways of supporting the families and for developing programs that help divorced female single-parent families maintain and reinforce resilience. Qualitative analysis was used as the research method. A preceding literature review was also carried out to collect data. The major findings of this study include the following: First, it was found that the average age of divorce is around 30-40, with children of school age. The mothers' level of education was relatively high, ranging from high school graduates to graduate school students. On Rothwell and Cohen's happiness scale, their objective level of happiness was higher (74.1) than that of the average Korean (64). Second, it was found they were very careful to avoid violence in everyday life as an after-effect of domestic violence, which was the major cause of their divorce. Third, their positive and optimistic attitudes about life even in adversity can be interpreted as Walsh's belief systems taking a more important role among other characteristics of family resilience.

This study aimed to examine the impact of academic background on full-time employment and on other important issues concerning job security and care faced by single-parent youths. The study alse aimed to verify the effect of related support on full-time employment. The analysis targeted 262 single parents under 24 years of age who were raising their children, and the main results were as follows: First, the ratio of adulthood was high for those who were employed, and the academic achievement of full-time workers was also significantly high. However, the rate of discontinuities in school was also high among those who were employed, especially those seeking full-time employment, whose desire to stay in school was higher than that of other difficulties of single, teenage parents. Second, the vocational education experience of single, teenage parents was 32 percent overall, and the rate of those seeking full-time employment was also relatively high, reaching 44 percent. However, the results of this study did not verify the direct effect of vocational education experience on full-time employment nor the interaction effect of the academic background. Therefore, a thorough review of the effectiveness of a vocational education program for young, single parents wishing to gain employment is necessary. Third, the overall rate of those who received a public nanny service was 31 percent, while the rate of full-time workers who experienced this service was significantly higher reaching 59 percent. In the research model verification, single parents who received a public nanny service were 3.8 times more likely to get a full-time job than those who did not, and receiving a public nanny service showed a regulatory effect between academic studies and full-time employment. The higher the academic level of the parents, the higher their possibility of full-time employment.

본 연구는 저소득 모자가구주의 대부분이 일을 하고 있음에도 불구하고 경제적으로 여전히 어려운 노동빈민(working poor)으로서의 위치에서 벗어나지 못하고 있다는 문제의식 속에서 비롯되었으며, 저소득모자가구의 생활실태를 최근 사회과학 내에서 논의되고 있는 사회적 배제 개념을 이용하여 분석하고 이의 극복방안으로서 사회적 통합과 연대모색을 제안하였다. 구체적으로 본 연구는 남성가장을 중심으로 한 일반가구, 일반 모자가구, 사회적 빈곤선 이하에 놓인 저소득모자가구를 대상으로 각 가구유형별 특성과 생활실태를 비교분석하고 이를 통해 전반적인 모자가구의 사회적 배제과정을 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 2000년 지역사회복지협의회의 "사회복지욕구조사" 원자료를 이차분석(secondary analysis) 하였으며 총 3,182가구가 최종적으로 분석에 포함되었다. 연구결과에 의하면 전반적으로 모자가구는 일반모자가구, 저소득모자가구에 상관없이 고용형태, 주거형태, 소득, 소비생활 측면에서 일반(남성가장)가구에 비해 어려움을 겪고 있었다. 일반가구에 비해 모자가구는 가족으로부터 자원을 제공받기보다는 오히려 장애, 만성질환 등의 가족원을 보호해야 하는 상당한 부담을 안고 있었으며, 사회적 안전망에서도 모자가구는 전반적으로 제외되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 모자가구가 일반가구에 비하여 전반적으로 사회적으로 취약해지거나 고립될 가능성이 매우 높은 현실을 반영하며, 현재 공식적으로 빈곤층, 혹은 저소득층으로 분류되지는 않았지만 일반모자가구도 포괄적인 사회적 안전 망이 확립되지 않는다면 향후 저소득층으로 배제될 가능성이 매우 높다는 사실을 확인시켰다. 마지막으로 연구결과에 기초하여, 전체 모자가족의 사회적 배제를 극복할 수 있는 사회적 통합방안이 모색되었다.
