The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of socio-demographic factors on food consumption frequencies among adolescents in Korea. Data were obtained from the Seventh Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2011 KYRBS), a nationwide representative sample of 75,643 (37,873 males and 37,770 females) middle and high school students. It was carried out as a self-administered on-line survey. The frequency of eating breakfast was 4.8 times per week for middle school students and 4.6 times per week for high school students (p < 0.001). Higher levels of perceived household economic status, family affluence scale (FAS) and education attainment of mother were associated with more frequent breakfast eating. The frequencies of consumption of vegetables and milk were higher in males than in females (p < 0.001). The frequency of consumption fruits was higher in females than in males (p < 0.01). Higher levels of perceived household economic status, FAS and education attainment of mother were associated with more frequent consumption of vegetable, fruits and milk. The frequencies of consumption of soda, fast food and instant noodls were higher in males than in females (p < 0.001). The frequency of consumption of snacks was higher in females than in males. Adolescents with lower levels of FAS and education attainment of mother were at risk for skipping breakfast and consuming of soda, fast food and instant noodls more frequently. Whereas, adolescents with higher levels of FAS, education attainment of mother were more likely to be frequent consumers of vegetable, fruits and milk. These findings demonstrated that being high school students and belonging to lower level of socio-economic status (SES) were associated with undesirable food habits.

This study examined the characteristics of the relationship of environmental variables that is HOME socio-demographic variables and children's verbal ability at age five. Especially this study investigated causal relationships among the variables which are supposed to affect children's verbal ability. The subjects of this study were 60 children at age five and their mothers. Instruments included inventory of home stimulation(HOME) inventory of socio-demographic variables inventory of the children's verbal ability and intelligence test. The results obtained from study were as follows: 1. For the most part environmental variables had a significant positive correlation with children's verbal ability 2. The variables that significantly predicted boy's verbal ability were aspects of physical environment breadth of experienc. And the variables that significantly predicted girls' verbal ability were developmental stimulation economic status of the home. 3. The results of the analysis of the causal model showed that the kind of variables that affected boy's verbal ability directly were indirect stimulation direct stimulation. And the kind of variables that affected girls' verbal ability directly were direct stimulation econmic status of the home inditect stimulation. 4. Another causal model of the environmental variables affecting children's verbal ability were formulated by exogenous variables(socio-demographic variables) and by endogenous variables (HOME, children's intelligence). The results of the analysis of the causal model showed that only HOME variables significantly affected boy's and girls' verbal ability directly.

The purpose of this study was to assess risk indicators of depressive symptoms such as demographic, socio-economical domains (age, gender, marital status, education, child, religion, income, health, friendship) and personality domains (neurotic personality, self-esteem and life goal attitude) of community dwelling elderly persons. A total of 300 community-residing elderly participants aged 65+ in a metropolitan city in Korea, were recruited for this interview survey. The interview covered demographic and socio-economic characteristics, and administration of the 20-item Korean Version of CES-D, the 10-item Self-esteem, the 19-item Neuroticism and the 10-itm Goal Instability scale. The prevalence of significant depressive symptoms (CES-D scale >= 21) was 31%. Logistic regression analysis showed high risk for depression was associated with high neuroticism, less intimate friendship, high goa1 instability, and childlessness, respectively in the order of significance. Factors in the personality domains were more strongly associated with depressive symptoms than factors in the socio- economical domains. Both cultural and universal meaning of the findings was discussed with regard to intervention.

This study examines how economic and psychological characteristics affect the quality of life (QoL) of elderly individuals age 60 and older, who live in the Seoul-metropolitan area. Relationships among socio-demographic status, economic conditions, psychological characteristics, family life, health status, and QoL are examined by t-test and ANOVA(Duncan's test as post hoc multiple comparisons), and the multiple regression analysis is used to estimate QoL determinants in the elderly. The major findings of the study are as follows. First, younger age, higher education levels, better health status, harmonious family relations, higher levels of household income, lower levels of loneliness, and higher self-esteems are related to higher QoL levels. Second, the impacts of factors on QoL are differentiated according to tercile groups that divide monthly allowance of respondents into three categories: below normal (threshold amount below 21MW), near normal (threshold amount between 21MW and 35MW), and above normal (threshold amount above 35MW). For each tercile group, poor health status or higher loneliness have negative effects on QoL, while harmonious family relationship has a positive effect. For the below-normal group, years of education or self-esteem have positive effects, while age or retirement status have negative effects when controlling for other factors. For the near-normal group, being married, or perceived financial insecurity create lower QoL levels, while higher self-esteem increases QoL levels. For the above-normal group, being widowed, employed, or retired have positive effects on QoL, when controlling for other variables. Third, even among elderly with high allowances, the effects of health status and family relationship are significant determinants that explain QoL levels. This result suggests that, for te elderly, poor health status and poor family relationships severely decrease QoL in later life, regardless of economic condition.

우리 사회에서는 언론이나 젊은 세대를 중심으로"금수저-흙수저"로 구분되는 수저계급론이 크게 부각되고 있으며, 이를 통해 계층적 신분구조가 고착화되고 있다는 대중적 담론이 널리 확산되고 있다. 2000년대 말 이후 객관적인 소득분배구조의 일정한 개선이 이뤄짐에도 불구하고 국민들의 주관적 인식에 있어 오히려 계층이동/세습이나 사회공정성에 대해 부정적인 여론이 날로 확대되고 있다는 점이 주목된다. "기회불평등의 인식조사" 자료를 활용한 실증분석을 통해 사회경제적 기회불공평, 기회불평등의 심각성 그리고 노력성취에 대한 주관적 인식에 있어서 전반적으로 부정적 평가가 내려지고 있으며, 특히 주관적인 계층지위에 따라 그 부정적 평가의 정도가 높게 나타나고 있다. 사회경제적 성취기회 불공평, 기회불평등 심각성 그리고 노력성취의 주관적 인식에 대한 회귀분석을 통해서는 부모세대와 본인세대의 계층지위(-), 차별 불이익 경험(+), 연령(-), 대학 대학원의 고학력(+)이 일관되게 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 부연하면, 15세 성장기(부모세대)와 조사시점의 주관적 계층지위가 낮을수록, 차별 불이익의 경험을 가질수록, 젊은 연령층일수록, 그리고 대학 이상의 고학력자일수록 우리 사회의 기회불평등에 대해 부정적이거나 비관적인 인식태도를 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 아울러, 사회경제적 성취기회의 불공평과 기회불평등의 심각성에 대해서는 실업자 및 비정규직 또는 비경제활동이 높은 부정적 인식태도와 유의한 상관관계를 보이고 있으며, 기회불평등의 심각성과 노력성취에 대해 중위소득 가구 및 상위소득 가구가 부정적인 인식태도를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문은 부산시를 대상으로 1900년대 초(구한말)부터 현재에 이르기까지 거주지역의 불평등한 현상을 거주분화의 개념을 중심으로 사회공간적으로 분석한다. 부산은 1900년대 초 조선 전통사회의 성격을 이어받아 신분사회의 계층질서에 의한 거주선택의 제한으로 불평등한 거주공간이 형성되었다. 이후 일제에 의한 신시가지의 형성으로 기존의 한국인 거주지와 분리되는 현상을 경험하였으며 일본인과 한국인, 그리고 중국인 거주지역으로 구분되는 민족별 분화 현상도 나타났다. 해방과 한국전쟁 이후 급속하게 인구가 증가함으로써 새로운 빈민거주지역이 등장하였고 이는 이후에 전개될 거주지 분화의 주요 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 빈민지역의 문제를 해소하기 위해 1960년대부터 실시한 정책이주는 제도상의 결점으로 인하여 큰 효과를 보지 못하였다. 1990년 이후 주민의 사회경제적 지위는 주택선택에 영향을 주어 주택계층에 의한 거주지역분화를 가능하게 하였다. 중간주택계층보다는 상 하위 주택계층이 거주공간의 불평등한 분포에 큰 영향을 주었다. 맥락적이고 시계열적인 접근방법을 시도하여 거주공간의 사회공간적 불평등에 관한 인과성을 파악하려고 시도한 본 연구는 미래에 전개될 거주공간패턴을 예측하고 다른 도시들의 거주공간연구에 도움을 줄 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives: About for twenty years, immigrant women in South Korea have steadily increased due to economic growth and industrialization. According to previous studies in terms of immigrants, subjective socio-economic status(SES) as well as objective SES such as income, occupation and level of education predict health outcomes. The purpose of this study was to examine association between subjective social status and perceived health among immigrant women. Methods: We analyzed 12,531 participants from the 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families. Study variables included subjective SES in Korea, subjective SES in community and perceived health. Control variables were age, household income, employment, education, marital status, ethnicity, language proficiency. For this study, descriptive analysis, Chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed. Results: Among immigrant women, after adjusting for control variables, level of education in community was not associated with perceived health. Otherwise, subjective social status in Korea(low subjective social status reference group vs high subjective status : OR 2.056) was associated with perceived health. Conclusions: Immigrant women in Korea would be culturally affected by inherent characteristic rather than social economic status. Through this study, in order to improve health inequality among immigrant women, we should consider developing social supports and networks.

인간이 환경을 보전 복원하고자 하는 목적은 자연이 인간에게 제공하는 환경서비스를 지속적으로 공급받기 위함이다. 이러한 측면에서 유류오염에 대응하고 복원하는 근본적인 목적은 인간의 생활 및 생산환경의 지속성을 유지하기 위한 것이라 할 수 있다. 즉, 유류유출의 사회경제적 피해영향 및 복원정도 모니터링은 손상된 자연환경의 기능 회복에 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 사회경제적 영향평가는 직간접적 관련자들의 이해와 직결되어 있어 적절한 조사 및 평가 방법을 선택하는 것이 어렵고 결과를 해석하는 것도 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 허베이 스피리트호 유류유출 사고를 대상으로 생활 및 생산환경 피해 모니터링의 주요 지표인 수산, 관광부문의 영향평가를 위해 기존의 문헌 및 통계자료조사 외에 지역주민 체감조사를 병행하였다. 조사 결과, 복원의 수준은 40~50 % 수준이고, 복원정도는 둔화 혹은 감소하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 체감조사결과가 문헌 및 통계자료 조사결과 보다 2~10 점 정도 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 결론적으로 기존의 사회경제적 영향평가를 위해 기본적으로 수행하여 왔던 문헌 및 통계자료를 통한 분석이 피해영향 복원의 지표로 삼기에는 한계가 있음을 보여주었고, 실제 피해지역 주민들이 체감하는 영향과 복원정도에 대한 분석의 필요성을 제기하였다.
