This study is aimed at identifying and evaluating the current operating model of elderly group homes in Korea, which were introduced with the amendment to the Welfare of the Aged Act in 2008, based on a survey of 25 managers of such homes. There are several key themes identified in the evaluation of their operation in terms of human resources, service, space and finance. The number of employees at the homes complied with the applicable law, with the majority having more employees than the minimum legal requirement for the care of residents. A wide variety of service programs were offered for residents. Typically located within detached houses purchased on the first floor, the homes varied in size from 73 square meters to 560 square meters, with each having a distinctly residence-like atmosphere. The greatest challenge such homes face was a shortage of financial resources. Many struggled to operate because they have no other source of revenue than payments from residents. Consequently, to help promote elderly group homes, there needs to be state-level support for the view that providing assistance for self-sufficient elders can save social costs in the long run by delaying their transition to a physical state requiring constant nursing.

The objective of this study is to examine and provide guidelines for regional governments, communities, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty-reduction activities that are more effective, efficient, and targeted. Besides, this research's specific aims are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimization of potential sources of local income, 2) increasing per-capita income, and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and social-economic inequality of the community. The study was conducted in North Morowali District, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, in 2018-2019. The research approach used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. Data sources include sources from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Regional Statistics. The results of this study are based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) indicators that there are four priority scales in poverty reduction, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV). Therefore, as a solution to poverty alleviation strategies, the cost approach through regional economic optimization and local income sources and community empowerment factors are essential. Apart from that, the involvement between elements (government, organizations, society, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize poverty reduction can be optimally overcome.

This study examines and analyzes the effect of innovation on the price to book value mediated by managerial ownership in Indonesian companies. In order to achieve the goals and objectives, the company increases its value by increasing shareholders. Improving the welfare of shareholders can be done through investment and financial policies, and is reflected in share prices in the capital market. The higher the share price, the better the owner's welfare, and the company's value will also increase. The population of this study is the manufacturing companies - as many as 162 - listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2012-2017. By using a purposive sampling method, 25 companies met the criteria for the sample. The data comes from the companies' annual report taken from the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. The data is further analyzed using partial least square (PLS). The results of the study showed that innovation has a significant effect on price to book value. The companies with high marketing innovation produce high company performance as well. The companies get a commensurate reward from marketing innovation activities to carry out continuous marketing innovations. In addition, managerial ownership does not mediate the relationship between innovation and price to book value.

This study aimed to investigate the levels of assets and income of male- and female-headed households. A series of analyses of data from the 2013 Korean Household Finance and Welfare Survey on the economic resources of single-parent households were conducted. One of the major findings was that in a comparison between male-headed households and female-headed households, the levels of assets and income in female-headed households were lower than those in male-headed households. The labor income in male households was almost two times higher than that in female households. Housing conditions with respect to male households were more secure and better than those in female households. The factors influencing the levels of economic resources in single-parent households varied in terms of the type of economic resources. Gender, employment status, family characteristics and household income were statistically significant factors with respect to the levels of assets in single-parent households. The level of household income was influenced by gender, education, employment status and the number of household members. The effect of employment status on housing conditions was significant.

As an effort to achieve sustainable development and increase people's welfare, financial inclusion has become the policy agenda of many countries. Therefore, the effect of financial inclusion on economic growth, poverty, income inequality, and financial stability in several countries in Asia has become the goal and this is the subject of this study. Financial inclusion is measured by 3 dimensions, namely banking penetration, access to banking services, and use of banking services. Poverty ratio below the national poverty line and the Gini coefficient are used as indicators of poverty and income inequality. Financial stability is measured by Bank Z-Score and bank nonperforming loans. The results from the hypothesis test shows that all dimensions of financial stability simultaneously have significant influence on economic growth, poverty, income inequality, and financial stability. On the other hand, the partial impact of financial inclusion dimension on economic growth, poverty alleviation, income inequality, and financial stability in ten countries of Asia has not been optimal. The derived results of this study is required to be interpreted and considered by the Governments of each country in developing strategies for increasing financial inclusion, so that the policy to achieve sustainable development and enhancement of people's welfare can be achieved.

The purpose of this study was to examine whether childbirth encouragement policy is actually helping those childbirth, and also discuss the possible directions of this policy to unfold in the future, should take. For this, We have surveyed 412 married and 437 unmarried men and women in order to investigate the individual values that influence childbirth, From these respondents and we interviewed and surveyed recipients of grants (244people), administrative officers in charge (41people), and experts (34people) to investigate their social view on the Korean government's impact. The results of this study are as follows: Firstly, most of the people (unmarried 70.3%, married 69.1%) surveyed said that important life objectives for them. Secondly, most of the people(male 44.4%, female 73.8%) surveyed said that once married shied away from having babies, (a) due to the finance and childcare burden is heavy of running a family while both parents are fulltime employed (b) because it is difficult to get pregnant due to health problems, and (c) foremost because having several children exacerbates their financial burden. Thirdly, grant recipients(75.4%), administrative officers in charge(65.9%), and experts(53.0%) all said that childbirth encouragement policy currently being implemented has little impact on their childbirth. Finally, it was established that the incentives to encourage childbirth is best suited for individuals that favor having many children.

The presidential election and the inauguration of the new government are a period of the policy window opening. The newly launched government is expected to improve the quality of life of the people. The Yoon Suk-yeol Government is also launched with new expectations with a transitional period in health care. The sustainability of health care in Korea is threatened. The environment of health care and the main policy issues of health care are difficult to secure the necessary finance for health care in spite of the increasing health care burden. Accordingly, the Yoon Suk-yeol Government's health care policy aims to provide intensive support to those in need of health and welfare and to improve the health of the people through investment in health. And for integrating fragmented health care and welfare services and creating people-centered community-based health care, a health care innovation center will be established for the evaluation platform of new delivery and payment systems, a health care development plan will be established for the blueprint of health care, and reorganizing the central & local government should be reviewed. Although we are facing unfavorable situations such as the distribution of the National Assembly, inflation, and the possibility of economic recession, we expect that announced health care policies will be implemented, recognizing that health care innovation is the only way to improve health care sustainability.

It is commonplace to refer to the Nordic countries of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland as a distinctive and homogenous welfare regime. As far as social housing is concerned, however, the institutional heritage of the respective countries significantly frames the ways in which social housing is understood, regulated and subsidized, and, in turn, how housing regimes respond to the general challenges to the national welfare states. The paper presents a historical institutionalist approach to understanding the diversity of regime responses in the modern era characterized by increasing marketization, welfare criticism and internationalization. The aim is to provide outside readers a theoretically guided empirical insight into Scandinavian social housing policy. The paper first lines up the core of the inbuilt argument of historical institutionalism in housing policy. Secondly, it briefly introduces the distinctive ideal typical features of the five housing regimes, which reveals the first internal distinction between the universal policies of Sweden and Denmark selective policies of Iceland and Finland. The Norwegian case constitutes a transitional model from general to selective during the past quarter of a decade. The third section then concentrates on the differences between Denmark, Sweden and Norway in which social housing is, our was originally, embedded in a universal welfare policy targeting the general level of housing quality for the entire population. Differences stand out, however, between finance, ownership, regulation and governance. The historical institutional argument is, that these differences frame the way in which actors operating on the respective policy arenas can and do respond to challenges. Here, in this section we lose Norway, which de facto has come to operate in a residual manner, due to contemporary effects of the long historical heritage of home ownership. The fourth section then discusses the recent challenges of welfare criticism, internationalization and marketization to the universal models in Denmark and Sweden. Here, it is argued that the institutional differences between the Swedish model of municipal ownership and the Danish model of independent cooperative social housing associations provides different sources of resistance to the prospective dismantlement of social housing as we know it. The fifth section presents the recent Danish reform of the governance model of social housing policy in which the housing associations are conceived of as 'dialogue partners' in the local housing policy, expected to create solutions to, rather than produce problems in social housing areas. The reform testifies to the strategic ability of the Danish social housing associations to employ their historically grounded institutional relative independence of the public system.

본 논문은 민주화 이후 정치행위자들의 의료민영화 및 의료공공성 관련 정치적 행위를 경험적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 1993년부터 2012년까지 주요 일간신문을 활용하여 내용분석하였다. 분석결과 첫째, 민주화 이후에도 정당이 국민의 요구를 수렴하여 주도적으로 정책을 결정해 나가지 못하였으며 정당은 보수적인 성향이 강하였고 일관된 정책적 이념지향성을 보이지 않았다. 둘째, 민주화 이후 공공의료 이슈에서 시민운동의 역할이 커졌음에도 불구하고 정부의 역할에 비해서는 작았다. 시민대중운동의 공공의료 발전에 대한 기여도가 대통령과 경제부처의 민영화에 대한 영향력을 상쇄할 정도는 아니었다. 셋째, 민주화 이후 김대중, 노무현, 이명박 정권 모두에서 공공의료 발전과 민영화가 함께 진행되었다. 민주화 이후 복지국가의 성격이 질적으로 변화했다고 보기 어려우나 정권별 대통령의 이념성향, 복지부의 역량, 민영화 주도 부처의 종류의 차이에 따라 복지국가 발전 정도가 달랐다.

그 동안 한국 사회에서 지방자치단체(이하 지자체) 복지사업과 재정지출에 대한 연구는 장애인, 노인, 보육 등 복지사업 대상 등을 중심으로 부문별 복지지출에 대한 영향요인 연구가 대부분 이루어져 왔다. 최근 지자체의 자체적인 복지노력도 측면에서 자체 사업에 대한 연구가 특정 지역의 사례를 중심으로 이루어지기는 하고 있지만, 자료에 대한 접근과 조사의 한계로 여러 요인이 실증적으로 고려되지 못하여 정책적 함의를 도출해 내기 어려웠다. 현재 우리사회의 복지예산과 그 지출규모는 국가 예산의 30%에 이를 만큼 높은 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이에 따라 국가적 차원에서 공공복지 전달체계의 효율적 운영과 관리를 위해 사회보장 정보시스템을 구축, 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 사용하는 지방재정시스템이 아닌 사회보장 정보시스템을 통하여 지자체 복지재정 지출과 관련, 기존 연구에서 한계점으로 지적되었던 전수데이터에 대한 접근과 조사를 실시하여 학문적이고 정책적인 함의를 도출해 내고자 한다. 사회보장정보시스템은 복지전달체계의 효율화를 위해 구축되었으며, 이를 통해 17개 부처 292개 복지사업이 집행되며, 230개 지자체 4만여 개 복지사업의 정보가 관리되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 사회보장정보시스템을 통해 관리되는 지자체 복지사업을 중심으로 지자체 복지지출에 미치는 영향요인을 탐색하고자 한다. 이를 위해 지자체 복지노력도로 대변되는 순수 시 군 구 복지예산액을 종속변수로 설정하였으며, 기존문헌 검토를 바탕으로 인구사회학적, 지역 경제적 그리고 지자체 재정적 요인을 독립변수로 설정하였다. 또한 독립변수 요인간 다중공선성 문제를 점검하였고, 다중공선성의 문제가 없는 것으로 확인된 수급자 비율, 영유아 비율, 아동청소년 비율, 복지비 비율, 구인배율, 재정자립도, 재정자주도의 총 7개 독립변수와, 소속 정당을 통제변수로 사용하여 결정요인의 변화를 분석하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면 기본모델에서는 복지비 비율, 영유아 비율, 재정자립도, 재정자주도, 구인배율이 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 기존 문헌에서 분석되지 못했던 시 군 구별 복지지출 영향요인의 차이점을 분석하였다. 또한 복지예산 총량 데이터에 근거한 기존 연구들이 논의하지 못했던 자체 복지사업 예산에 미치는 영향요인을 구체적으로 밝혀내는데 의의가 있다.
