The purpose of this study was to examine the consumers' purchasing behavior of budget-priced cosmetics according to the shopping orientation. Questionnaires used for this study were composed of 57 questions including 21 questions about cosmetic shopping orientation, 32 questions about budget-priced cosmetic purchasing behavior and four questions about demographic variables. Questionnaires were administrated to 20 to 49 aged 317 women who have shopping experience on budget-priced cosmetics. Data were analyzed by using factor analysis, cluster analysis, ANOVA, ${\chi}^2$-test, correlation, crosstabulation analysis, and scheffe test utilizing SPSS/WIN. The results were as follows. First, shopping orientation of cosmetics were classified into 5 factors: 'interest and impulsive purchasing tendency', 'price-oriented purchasing tendency', 'ration-oriented purchasing tendency', 'famous brand-oriented purchasing tendency' and 'brand royalty- oriented purchasing tendency'. According to the shopping orientation of cosmetics, the respondents were classified into 4 groups: 'passive shopping group', 'rational shopping group', 'active shopping group', 'neutral shopping group'. Second, when comparing each group's purchasing behavior of budget-priced cosmetics with shopping orientation of cosmetics, there was not significant difference in one time purchasing cost and the number of shop visits. In case of demographic variables concerning purchasing behavior of budget-priced cosmetics, there was significant differences in one time purchasing cost according to age, level of education and employment status. The number of shop visits had also difference according to age, level of education and monthly family income. Based on these results, marketing strategies for demographic characteristics of target market rather than the shopping orientation are needed.

Smoking is accountable for the fatality of a substantial number of persons and increases the likelihood of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Although data have shown high prevalence rates of cigarette smoking in Saudi Arabia, relatively little is known about the broader scope. The objectives of this study were to investigate socio-demographic factors, patterns of use and cessation behavior associated with smoking in Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study utilized a cross-sectional, multi-step design of sampling. Residents (N=1,497; aged 15 years and older) were recruited from seven administrative areas in Southwest Saudi Arabia. A pretested questionnaire was utilized to obtain data on participant cigarette smoking, including their daily use, age, education, income, marital status and employment status. The current study is the first of its kind to gather data cessation behavior of Saudi subjects. With the exception of 1.5% females, all the respondents were male. The majority of the respondents were married, had a university level of education, were employed, and were younger than 34 years old. The same trends were also observed among smokers' samples. The current prevalence of cigarette smoking was 49.2% and 65.7% of smokers had smoking at less than 18 years of age. The mean daily use amongst smokers was 7.98 cigarettes (SD=4.587). More than 50% of the study sample had tried at least once to quit smoking. However, 42% of the smokers participating had never. On the other hand, about 25% of the respondents were willing to consider quitting smoking in the future. Modeling of cigarette smoking suggested that the most significant independent predictors of smoking behavior were geographic area, gender, marital status, education, job and age. Considerable variation in smoking prevalence was noted related with participant sociodemographics. Findings recommend the necessity for control and intervention programs in Saudi community.

Background: Prevalence of chronic pain and its association with demographic characteristics have been reported by different studies from different geographical regions in the world. However, data from many Middle East countries including Iran (especially southern Iran) are scare. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the prevalence of chronic pain and its association with demographic, psychological and socioeconomic factors in an Iranian population. Methods: In this population-based survey, the target population was comprised of subjects aged 20 to 85 years residing in Jahrom, southern Iran during 2009-2011. All eligible subjects were invited to participate in the study. Before a detailed questionnaire was given; face to face interviews were done for each individual. Results: There were 719 men and 874 women with an average age of 40.5 years at the onset of the study. Among the study population, 38.9% (620/1,593) complained of chronic pain, of whom 40.8% (253/620) were men and 59.2% (367/620) were women. Foot and joint pain were observed in 31.9%. Hip and spine pain, migraine and tension headaches, heart pain, and abdomen pain were observed in 21.5%, 15.5%, 9.5%, and 8.0% of chronic pain cases, respectively. There was a significant association among the covariables age, sex, overweight, educational level, income, and type of employment with chronic pain as the dependent variable (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: Our findings show the prevalence of chronic pain and its association with demographic, psychological and socioeconomic factors. Individuals with low incomes and less education became accustomed to pain due to a lack of knowledge.

조직의 성과를 결정하는 데 리더가 중요하다는 것은 많은 사람들이 인지하고 있지만, 리더의 중요성을 실증적으로 보여주는 연구는 많지 않다. 리더의 역할 이외에 조직성과에 영향을 미치는 다양한 요인들을 적절히 통제하지 못하면 리더가 조직성과에 미치는 인과효과를 제대로 추정하기 어렵기 때문이다. 본 연구는 우리나라에서 광역단체장이 외생적으로 궐위(闕位)되는 자연실험적 상황을 활용해, 광역단체장의 부재가 지역의 경제적 성과에 미치는 인과효과를 추정한다. 광역단체장의 부재로 인해 해당 지역은 고용률이 하락하고, 신용카드 사용액이 감소하는 등 지역경제에 부정적인 영향을 받는다. 이런 부정적인 효과는 특히 여성과 청년층 및 장년층 등 취약계층의 노동시장에서 좀 더 크게 나타난다. 또한, 광역단체장의 소속 정당 및 재선 여부, 궐위 사유 등 특성에 따라 단체장 부재 효과는 이질적으로 나타난다. 우리나라에서 광역단체장의 부재가 지역경제에 미치는 부정적인 효과는 광역단체장이 지역경제 발전에 중요한 요소임을 시사하며, 리더가 중요하다는 일반적 인식에 대한 하나의 실증적 근거를 제시한다.

Abdominal obesity (AO) is a strong risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which has shown a remarkable increase in Korea. This study aimed to identify prevalence of AO and related risk factors in Korean adults. A total of 5,132 men and women aged 20-85 years old from the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were included in the analyses. AO was defined as waist circumference >=90 cm in men and >=85 cm in women as proposed by Korean Society of Obesity. Multiple logistic regression was carried out to identify risk factors for AO. Three models were specified: (i) demographic and socioeconomic factors (model 1: age, education, poverty income ratio, employment), (ii) lifestyle factors and covariates (model 2: physical activity, cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, dietary quality, type 2 diabetes, co-morbidity) and (iii) demographic, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors (model 3). The prevalence of AO was 24.1 % in men, 23.5% in women. High poverty income ratio in men and low education attainment in women were risk factors for AO in model. 1. There was a significant association of AO with alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and dietary quality in men, alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking in women. These factors except alcohol consumption in men became insignificant in model 3. This findings underscore the importance of developing AO prevention programs in Korea that target the at risk groups identified in this study. A program focusing on low income men or less educated women would be more efficient.

본 연구의 목적은 한국에서 빈곤의 여성화 경향이 실제로 나타나고 있는지 또한 빈곤의 여성화 경향이 실제로 있다면 그 원인은 무엇인지를 밝히는 것이다. 연구의 자료로는 1998년부터 2005년까지 8개년도의 한국노동패널 데이터를 이용하였으며, 분석대상은 18세 이상 남성과 여성 개인을 분석단위로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 1998년 이래 우리나라에서 빈곤의 여성화가 나타나고 있으며 그 경향이 더욱 심화되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이러한 여성의 빈곤화 경향에 영향을 미치는 요인을 살펴본 결과, 횡단면 분석에서는 교육수준과 노동형태가 유의한 영향을 미쳤으나 종단면 분석에서는 가구원 수나 가구 내 취업자 수 같은 가구형태 관련 변수가 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 여성의 빈곤화 경향을 완화시키기 위해 여성의 노동시장내 차별을 막는 제도적 장치의 마련과 시민권적 개념에 기초한 소득보장 프로그램의 마련 등이 시급하게 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

Since the International Treaty on Prohibition of Female's Night Labor was agreed at the Bern's Conference in 1906, the International Labor Organization (I.L.O.) established after the World War II, has adopted innumerable international labor treaties. According to the laws of the advanced countries, the first priority of their protection has been placed on juvenile and female workers. The legal protection of female workers and equal treatments such as wage and promotion between men and women have become important world problems. In this thesis, the great principle of the Labor Standard Law, protection regarding working house, risk and harm in performance of jobs, protection of mother-workers, protection of women workers in advanced countries and the present status of welfare facilities for women workers in our country will be studied. The most important points this thesis has placed stress and appealed, are as follows : 1. The scope and variety of women workers' jobs should be broadened. 2. Opportunity for promotion should be guaranteed for women workers based upon the ability and capacity of individual woman worker. 3. Equal wage principle between men and women workers, should be established based upon the idea that men and women should be equal. 4.

본 연구는 복지제도의 확대는 찬성하지만 재원 확보를 위한 증세는 거부하는 '눔프'현상에 관한 것이다. 최근 복지제도의 개혁과정에서 이해관계의 충돌에 따른 갈등 발생의 핵심으로 부각되고 있는 계층, 젠더, 연령 집단을 중심으로, 주요 복지제도별 눔프현상의 규모와 요인을 분석하여, 복지제도에 내재한 불평등 구조와 눔프현상 사이의 관련성을 규명하고자 한다. 분석을 위해 한국복지패널의 부가조사인 복지인식 조사를 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 급여 대상이 특정 취약계층으로 제한되는 제도에 비해 전체 사회구성원의 복지향상에 기여할 수 있다고 판단되는 건강정책, 연금, 고용정책, 주거정책 등에서 낮은 눔프현상이 관찰되었다. 눔프현상의 규모와 발생 가능성은 '소득 1분위', '여성', '20대 이하'에서 높게 나타나, 복지제도에 내재한 불평등 기제와 눔프현상의 높은 관련성이 확인되었다. 보편적 복지로의 전환과 복지제도에 내재된 불평등 요인의 개선이 눔프현상의 완화와 복지확대를 가능하게 하는 대안임을 보여주는 결과이다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate whether working married women in different occupational classes affected diverse health outcomes. Methods : We used data for married women aged 25-59 (N=2,273) from the 2005 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. Outcome measures included physical/mental and subjective/objective indicators (selfrated poor health, chronic diseases, depression, and suicidal ideation from reported results; metabolic syndrome dyslipidemia from health examination results). Agestandardized prevalence and logistic regression were employed to assess health status according to three types working groups (housewives, married women in manual jobs, married women in non-manual jobs). Sociodemographic factors (age, numbers of children under 7, education, household income) and health behaviors (health examination, sleep, rest, exercise, smoking, drinking) and a psychological factor (stress) were considered as covariates. Results : Non-manual married female workers in Korea showed better health status in all five health outcomes than housewives. The positive health effect for the non-manual group persisted in absolute (age-adjusted prevalence) and relative (odds ratio) measures, but multivariate analyses showed an insignificant association of the non-manual group with dyslipidemia. Manual female workers showed significantly higher age-adjusted prevalence of almost all health outcomes than housewives except chronic disease, but the associations disappeared after further adjustment for covariates regarding sleep, rest, and stress. Conclusions : Our results suggest that examining the health impact of work on married women requires the consideration of occupational class.
