This paper examines the effect of active labor market policy on the unemployment rates in 8 welfare states. This paper focuses on the following questions: what are the major predictors of the changes in unemployment rates?; and what is the effect of active labor market policy in reducing unemployment rates? Using the data from Comparative Welfare States Data Set by Stephens (1997), Key Indicators of the Labour Market by ILO (1999) and Social Expenditure Database by OECD (1999), this paper attempts to answer the above research questions. Fuller-Battese model, a data analysis method in pooled cross-sectional time-series analysis, is adopted to identify variables predicting changes in unemployment rates. This paper analyzes the predictors by using 3 analysis models about 2 types of unemployment (overall unemployment and long term unemployment). Results are as follows: (1) economic variable such as changes in GDP has a positive effect in reducing unemployment rates; (2) active labor market policy has a positive effect in reducing unemployment rates as well; (3) job brokering service among 3 major active labor market programs has a positive effect in reducing unemployment rates; and (4) there is an interaction effect between unemployment benefit level and active labor market policy in reducing unemployment rates. Through the empirical analysis, this paper provides valuable knowledge about effects of active labor market policy on unemployment in 8 welfare states and discusses implications for the active labor market policy in Korea.

이 연구는 한국사회에서 사회복지 정책을 어떻게 전개해 나가야 할 것인지에 관한 관심 속에서 선진복지국가인 스웨덴의 사회복지제도가 어떻게 발전해 나갔는지를 인구변천에 초점을 맞추어 살펴보고 있다. 먼저 스웨덴과 한국의 인구발전과정을 인구변천모형에 따라 분석하고, 인구변천 단계에 따라 사회복지가 어떻게 발전해 나왔는지를 주로 사회복지 법규를 통해 규명하고 있다. 다음 각 단계별 법규와 사회보장비 지출을 검토하여 스웨덴의 복지발달과정의 이념을 규명한 후, 한국의 사회복지정책이 어떤 방향을 나가야 할지를 제시하고 있다. 연구결과 스웨덴에 비해 한국의 사회보장비지출은 절대 부족상태이며, 스웨덴이 보편주의적 서비스를 강조하는데 비해 한국은 특수집단에 대한 서비스를 강조하고 있음이 부각되었다. 또 한국은 특수한 역사적, 문화적 요인에 의해 보훈계통의 비용이 지불되고 있다. 이 연구의 정책적 함의는 한국사회도 앞으로 소극적인 복지정책보다는 스웨덴에서 처럼 보편주의, 생산주의 및 가정복지를 바탕으로 한 복지민주주의 정책에 대한 적극적인 자세가 필요함을 제시하고 있다.

This paper makes some contributions on optimal environmental taxes in the generalized utilitarian social welfare function. It is not to suggest as to appropriate environmental tax rates but to contribute the direction of environmental tax policy. The tax rates depend on parameters of individual utility function (CES utility function) and social welfare function and income tax rate. The major findings are that, as the elasticity of substitution between labor and leisure and the concavity of social welfare function increase, both the optimal tax rates and the government demogrants rise. And, as the parameter of environmental pollution in the individual utility function increases, the optimal tax rates also increase. For the future study, this model involves the income tax and the capital tax as endogenous variables and the wage changes due to international trade.

The purpose of this study was to find out the characteristics of the direct workers and the organizations delivering services to the children in low-income families, and to identify major factors that affect the number and degree centrality of service network. The research sample was 141 organizations. and the data were collected by a survey questionnaire and analyzed by UCINET V and multiple regression. The results show that the classification of organizations, the work-autonomy, the license of social welfare have a significant effect on the number of network organization, and the license of social welfare, the subjective body of organizations, the number of children in charge have a significant effect on the degree centrality of service network, among the independent variables. Based on the research results, implications for the future practice are discussed.

Suicide is a major problem in Korean health care and a serious social problem. In Korea, 12,463 people (24.3 per 100,000) lost their lives due to suicide in 2017. Although the government has established three National Comprehensive Plan of Suicide Prevention (2004, 2009, 2016), and National Action Plan of Suicide Prevention (2018), the suicide rate is still high. The suicide rate of the elderly is especially high. This is due to the economic vulnerability of the elderly in Korea. Therefore, in order to prevent suicide in Korea, mental health care approach and social welfare approach should be integrated. The intervention of preventing suicide of suicide attempters should include social welfare services as well as mental health program and should be based on community. There are many health problems, including prevention of suicide, which can not be solved only by the efforts of health care. Many health problems are social problems and the integrated approach is needed to solve them. In order to solve many health care problems and improve health, integrated approach of health, social science, and humanities is needed.

본 연구는 한국복지패널 1~3차년도 자료를 이용하여 우울과 국민기초생활보장제도 수급지위 변화의 관계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 수급진입은 우울수준을 증가시킨다. 이는 주로 빈곤진입을 동반한 수급진입이 경제적 스트레스를 증가시켰기 때문으로 판단된다. 둘째, 수급탈출은 우울수준을 감소시키지 않는다. 하지만 수급탈출 중에서도 탈빈곤을 동반한 수급탈출의 경우에는 우울수준을 감소시킨다. 셋째, 높은 우울수준이 수급진입확률을 증가시킨다. 넷째, 높은 우울수준이 수급탈출 확률을 감소시키지 않는다. 수급탈출을 나누어 보면, 높은 우울수준은 탈출 후에도 여전히 빈곤한 수급탈출(탈락)의 가능성을 증가시킨다.

Nutrition education is essential for the health of people with disabilities. This paper presents nutrition education topics and operational directions for people with disabilities living in social welfare facilities for people with disabilities. This study was conducted through one-on-one, in-depth interviews with 11 operators and workers at social welfare facilities where people with disabilities reside. They were asked about the current status of nutrition education at the social welfare facility for people with disabilities where the interviewee works, major diseases of residents, topics of nutrition education needed, and preferred education methods to determine the type of nutrition education for people with disabilities needed in the field. As a topic of nutrition education, dietary education for obesity prevention and management was most requested, and education on basic nutritional ingredients was also desired. It was mentioned that the educational level would be appropriate for children aged 6~9, and using materials that would attract interest was recommended. Activity-based face-to-face education was preferred for the operation of the program, and it was mentioned that education would be possible in a short period. In addition, it was mentioned that nutrition education is necessary for people with disabilities and workers at social welfare facilities for people with disabilities. Confirming the topic and operation direction of the nutrition education program required by social welfare facilities for people with disabilities will make it possible to contribute to providing nutrition education tailored to social welfare facilities for people with disabilities in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 한국 복지국가의 지출변화를 추동하는 요인에 대한 이론적 가설들을 실증적으로 분석하는 것이 목적이다. 한국복지국가 지출결정요인을 분석하는 기존연구들은 종속변수로 사용되는 사회복지지출 자료의 신뢰성, 분석방법의 타당성을 충분히 확보하고 있지 못했다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 또한 분석시기가 1990년대 말까지만을 포괄하고 있어서, 최근의 한국복지국가 변화를 충분히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 1960년 이후부터 2003년까지를 분석에 포함하며, 일관된 기준을 가지고 구축된 '비교 사회정책 데이터(Comparative Social Policy Data set)'를 활용하고, 분석방법으로서 일반화최소제곱(GLS) 방식의 시계열 회귀분석을 사용함으로써 기존 연구의 한계를 극복하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 첫째, 구조기능주의, 특히 산업화와 관련된 변수들이 가장 안정적이고 통계적으로 유의미하였다. 둘째, 실업률 변수의 영향은 독점자본주의의 심화를 반영한 결과라기보다는 경제위기 이후 실업의 증가에 대한 정부의 단기적 대응 결과로 해석하는 것이 타당하다. 셋째, 권력자원론 변수인 좌파정치의 한국적 적용은 매우 제한적으로만 타당한 것으로 분석된다. 결론적으로 한국복지국가의 발전에서 진보정치 영향력의 일면이 발견되긴했지만, 보다 정확한 결론을 위해서는 조금 더 관찰이 필요하며, 한국의 복지국가는 산업화론이 적용되는 초보적이고 자동적인 성장으로 특징 지워진다고 할 수 있다.

Science & Technology (S&T) personnel have played a major role to develop our country since S&T is the most important factor to increase national competitiveness in the 21st century. Therefore, it is very essential to increase the welfare of S&T personnel in order to increase national S&T and economic competitiveness. However, the welfare of S&T personnel has not been discussed sufficiently not only in academic research, but also in actual S&T policies. It has caused many. social problems (for example, avoiding fields of S&T of young generation, low social recognition of S&T community and so on). Under this background, this paper aims at investigating how to effectively improve S&T personnel's welfare. For this purpose, we deal with a theoretical review on the welfare of S&T personnel. After that, we will suggest 'Comprehensive Welfare Town for S&T Personnel' as a method of improving the welfare of S&T personnel.
