This study was conducted to compare the effects of layout of furniture (a perch, nest, and sandbox) in cages on behavior and welfare of hens. Two hundred and sixteen Hyline Brown laying hens were divided into five groups (treatments) with four replicates per group: small furnished cages (SFC), medium furnished cages type I (MFC-I), medium furnished cages type II (MFC-II), and medium furnished cages type III (MFC-III) and conventional cages (CC). The experiment started at 18 week of age and finished at 52 week of age. Hens' behaviors were filmed during the following periods: 8:00 to 10:00; 13:00 to 14:00; 16:00 to 17:00 on three separate days and two hens from each cage were measured for welfare parameters at 50 wk of age. The results showed that feeding and laying of all hens showed no effect by cage type (p>0.05), and the hens in the furnished cages had significantly lower standing and higher walking than CC hens (p<0.05). The birds in MFC-III had significant higher preening, scratching and feather-pecking behavior than in the other cages (p<0.05). No difference in nesting behavior was found in the hens between the furnished cages (p>0.05). The hens in MFC-I, -II, and -III showed a significant higher socializing behavior than SFC and CC (p<0.05). The lowest perching was for the hens in SFC and the highest perching found for the hens in MFC-III. Overall, the hens in CC showed poorer welfare conditions than the furnished cages, in which the feather condition score, gait score and tonic immobility duration of the hens in CC was significantly higher than SFC, MFC-I, MFC-II, and MFC-III (p<0.05). In conclusion, the furnished cage design affected both behavior and welfare states of hens. Overall, MFC-III cage design was better than SFC, MFC-I, and MFC-II cage designs.

이 연구의 목적은 첫째, 국가간 복지인식 균열의 차이가 존재하는지를 분석함으로써 각국의 제도적 특징이 복지인식 결정구조에 어떻게 반영되는지를 살펴보는 것이다. 둘째, 한국의 경우 다른 복지레짐에 속한 국가들과 비교해 볼 때 복지인식 결정구조에 어떤 특징을 보이는지 분석하고, 한국 복지인식의 특성을 명확히 함으로써 한국복지국가 발전을 위한 연대와 분열 지점을 밝혀내고자 한다. 이는 한국복지국가 발전을 위한 전략 마련의 단초가 될 수 있다. 이를 위해 우선, 각 복지레짐에 속한 스웨덴, 프랑스, 미국의 복지에 대한 국가책임 인식점수를 비교하였다. 다음으로 성, 연령, 교육수준, 소득계층, 고용지위 등이 복지인식에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 스웨덴, 프랑스, 미국은 복지에 대한 국가책임 인식에 차이를 보이며, 스웨덴, 프랑스 미국의 순으로 인식점수가 높다. 한국의 경우 미국보다 인식점수가 더 낮으며, 이 차이는 의미 있는 차이로서 한국 복지인식 구조에 대한 심층적인 해석을 필요로 한다. 국가별 복지인식 결정구조의 경우, 스웨덴과 프랑스는 복지인식 결정요인에 큰 차이가 없으며, 미국, 한국은 각각 고유한 특성을 보인다. 성, 계층, 고용지위에 대해 스웨덴, 프랑스, 미국이 동일한 결과를 보인다. 여성일수록, 소득계층이 낮을수록, 고용지위가 불안정할수록 국가의 복지책임에 대한 인식수준은 높아진다. 연령의 경우 스웨덴, 프랑스, 한국은 연령이 높을수록 복지책임 인식수준이 높아지는데 반해 미국은 반대의 결과를 보인다. 또한 미국은 교육수준이 높을수록 복지인식 점수가 낮다. 한편 한국은 스웨덴, 프랑스, 미국과 다른 복지인식 결정구조를 갖고 있다. 여성이 오히려 남성보다 복지인식 점수가 낮으며, 계층은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는다. 이러한 복지인식 구조에 대한 파악은 복지패러다임 전환을 위한 합의와 갈등 지점을 제시함으로써 복지국가 전략 구축의 기반이 된다.

This study examined the insolvency likelihood of young debtors from the 2018 Household Financial and Welfare Survey. This study used the Household Default Risk Index (HDRI), which considers the ratio of total debt to total assets (DTA), and a total debt service ratio (DSR) to examine the insolvency level of debtors. The descriptive analyses showed no difference in frequency of households with a high probability of insolvency between those less than 35 years of age and those over 35 years of age. However, the median HDRI value for those less than 35 years of age was higher than those over 35 years of age. The multivariate analyses indicated that educational expenses for young Korean debtors was a factor that increased their probability of insolvency, while income was the only variable that decreased their insolvency likelihood.

Purpose - Today, the importance of the service industry has increased. Social welfare businesses that follow the non-profit principle have neglected the distribution of the service. However, an intangible service, when produced and consumed, has a similar service delivery system to common service distribution and social welfare. Therefore, the author has assumed the efficiency of the service delivery system of social welfare to be equivalent to the service distribution industry. Hence, various kinds of social welfare services for the prevention of elderly suicide, from the perspective of distribution, are discussed. Studies on generational relations have thus far investigated depression from parent-children conflict, and satisfaction with their lives. Studies on the relationship between family solidarity and elderly suicide by analyzing existing social problems are rare. This study investigated the effects of family solidarity between old parents and adult children upon elderly suicide by analyzing serious psychological and social problems. This study revealed basic measures for elderly suicide prevention through services that could elevate family solidarity from the perspective of social welfare service distribution. Research design, data, and methodology - The subjects were 468 elderly, 65 years or older, at 18 senior welfare centers and halls for the elderly at Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. Questionnaire surveys, excluding invalid answers, were analyzed. Convenience sampling was used from February 5, 2014 to March 5, 2014. The findings were: First, women and those having spouses with advanced educational backgrounds and social activities had primary solidarity such as contact solidarity, affectionate solidarity, functional solidarity (giving help), and functional solidarity (receiving help). In addition, those who had good health, from a subjective point of view, had more solidarity. Second, the elderly who were men and single, and who had poorer educational backgrounds thought of suicide, lacked social activities, and had poor health, from a subjective point of view. Third, family solidarity between old parents and adult children had significantly negative influence on the suicidal ideation of the elderly. Results - The study revealed the following implications. First, the preparation for old age should consider not only economic welfare but also the psychological welfare due to the relationship with children. Second, the phenomenon of elderly suicide because of a lack of family solidarity could increase national loss and have great influence upon welfare in old age. Therefore, planning of welfare services for the elderly should consider the value of relationships with children to improve the psychological welfare of the elderly. Third, the social expenses of government-oriented support for parents should be discussed from the people's point of view. Conclusions - The subjects of the study comprised the elderly at Seoul and Gyenggi-do; therefore, it would be difficult to extrapolate the findings to all the elderly in the nation. The subject visited senior welfare centers as well as halls for the elderly; therefore, it would be difficult to assume that the trends were representative of the elderly in the nation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing the health status and life satisfaction of elders in welfare facilities. Methods: The subjects of this study were selected randomly among those without cognitive impairment from free (140 persons) and charged (140 persons) welfare facilities in the Yeongnam area. Data was analyzed using t-test and stepwise multiple regression. Results: Health status and life satisfaction were 2.52 and 1.98, respectively, in the elders from free welfare facilities, and 2.67 and 2.08 respectively, in the elders from charged welfare facilities. In those from free facilities, life satisfaction and motivation for getting into the welfare facility were the influencing factors of health status. In those from charged facilities, life satisfaction, gender, motivation for getting into the welfare facility, limited service such as physiotherapy, age, and lack of staff and professionalism were the influence factors of health status. In those from free facilities, health status, relationship conflict with fellow elders, lack of staff and professionalism, insufficient facilities and inadequate environment, and indifference of sons and daughters were the influence factors of life satisfaction. In those from charged facilities, health status, education and age were the influence factors of life satisfaction. Conclusions: It was found that both health status and life satisfaction of elders in charged welfare facilities were higher than those in free welfare facilities.
