This study investigated various alternatives for childcare among dual-earner families and discussed implications for public policy development. Eight employed married women and two of their husbands were interviewed about work-family balance. All the interviewees complained that taking cue of the children in dual-earner families is a challenge. They resort to all available alternatives because public childcare support is insufficient and inadequate. There were five different types chilcare: extended family network, public and private institutions, paid help (nannies), rearranging work schedules, and training their children to take cue of themselves. However, all these alternatives entail various problems. More and better childcare facilities and programs should be built and after-school programs should be designed. On the other hand, parents should also make more effort to prioritize children's needs in finding a balance between work and family.

The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of activity areas according to the age difference and provide the alternatives for space planning of activity areas in classroom of childcare centers. This study used the content analysis method for field survey data collected from 36 classrooms of 9 childcare centers in the Daejeon area. Floor plans were converted to Autocad drawings to analyze the characteristics of activity areas. The results of this study were as follows; 1) In case of 0 to 2-year-old classrooms, they had 6 activity areas such as gross-motor area, role play, block building, language, creative expression, exploration/manipulation area. The activity area with the most low frequency was gross-motor area. 2) In case of 0 to 2-year-old classrooms, the size of activity area was in order of gross-motor area > role play > block building > language > creative expression > exploration/manipulation area. In case of 3 to 5-year-old classrooms, the size of activity area was in order of language > art > role play > math > block building > science > tone and rhythmic area. 3) The central areas with easy access in 0 to 2-year-old classrooms were Large-motor and Imaginary Play Areas. Also, more isolated areas were Manupulatives and Block Areas. The central areas with easy access in 3 to 5-year-old classrooms were Arts, Numbers and Manupulatives. While more isolated areas were Music, Movement and Science Areas.

본 연구의 목적은 다문화청소년의 진로결정성을 규명하기 위해 부모의 진로·양육지원과 교사관계의 영향력을 분석하고, 부모의 진로·양육지원과 교사관계 사이에서 진로준비성의 매개효과의 영향력을 확인하고자 한다. 이를 위해 다문화청소년패널조사(MAPS) 데이터 중 2017년 자료(7차년도)를 활용하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 다문화청소년 부모의 진로·양육지원, 교사관계, 진로준비성은 진로결정성에 직접적으로 유의한 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 다문화청소년의 진로결정성 과정에 개인 내부적 맥락요인인 진로준비의 상대적 영향력의 중요성도 확인되었다. 셋째, 다문화청소년 부모의 진로·양육지원이 높아질수록, 교사관계가 긍정적일수록 진로결정성은 상승하는 것으로 분석되었다. 진로 준비성은 다문화청소년 부모의 진로·양육지원과 교사관계를 진로결정성에 매개해 주는 역할을 확인하였다. 이러한 분석결과를 토대로 다문화청소년의 진로결정성을 높일 수 있는 실천적 대안을 제시하였다.

This study analyzes the effects of caring for grandchildren on Korean grandparents' health, using the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging from 2006 to 2012. We investigate how caregiving is provided and analyze the effects of caregiving on grandparents' physical health, mental health, and health-related behaviors. As elderly people's health is generally frail, it is unclear whether the provision of childcare affects their health negatively. We control for the endogeneity of caregiving by an individual fixed effect (FE) model and instrumental variable-fixed effect (FE-IV) models. Using these models, we determine the endogeneity of caregiving and show that the significant effects of caregiving on health disappear as we control for endogeneity in the FE and FE-IV models. Even after controlling for endogeneity, we find that caregiving increases the probability of feeling pain as well as the number of different types of pain. Furthermore, caregiving increases the probability of restrictions on daily activities because of pain. On the other hand, caregiving reduces the symptoms of depression. In relation to health-related behaviors, caregiving reduces the probability of physical exercise and regular meals. Our results imply that although caregiving has a positive effect on mental health, the increase in physical pain and in non-healthy behaviors may lead to a deterioration of the caregiver's long-term health, which in turn may increase the medical costs of the elderly. Potential policy alternatives are discussed in the paper.

Purpose: This study aims to provide primary data for policy alternatives by identifying the problem of the nursing workforce shortage. Methods: For quantitative data, 446 questionnaires were analyzed. The mean and standard deviation were used for content description. ANOVA analysis and Scheffe? test were used to compare the differences according to the hospital level. For qualitative data, 1:1 in-depth and group interviews were conducted for six participants. Results: The factors nurses prioritized when choosing a workplace were salary, commuting distance, and work-life balance. Clinical nurses cited low wages, heavy workloads, and burnout as the most considerable difficulties in performing their duties. Factors influencing nurse's turnover intention were low wages, unmanageable workload, and rotation to unwanted departments in that order. New nurses tend not to apply to small-medium-sized hospitals, experienced nurses in their 30s-40s leave hospitals due to childcare and shift work difficulties, and nurses in their 50s and older tend to move to nursing homes rather than acute hospital settings. Conclusion: In this study, wage and workload were mentioned as the most critical factors in nurses' workplace selection, job performance difficulties, and turnover intention, so it is necessary to pay attention to this aspect when improving treatment for nurses.

뉴질랜드군은 제2차 세계대전을 기점으로 여성인력을 활용하기 시작했다. 우수한 인력 확보를 위해 다양한 노력을 기울인 끝에 여성인력의 비율이 24%까지 올라왔다. 이 수치는 군 여성인력의 역사가 뉴질랜드보다 오래된 영국, 미국, 캐나다, 호주보다 높은 수치이다. 이는 전투 직위를 여성에게 개방하고 장성급, 영관급 장교 등 군 고위직에 여성인력이진출할 수 있도록 한 뉴질랜드군 노력의 결과이다. 또한 여성의 현실적인 고민인 임신과 출산, 육아 및 수직적인 조직 문화 등에 대한 정책적 대안을 제시하였으며 특히, 부적절한 성적 행동, 괴롭힘 등으로 우수한 인재가 이탈하거나 입대하지 않는 문제를 극복하기 위해 "존중"작전을 시행했다. 존중 작전은 리더의 역할을 확립하고 피해자의 지원을 강조하였으며 사고의 데이터를 축적하여 유사 사고를 예방했다. 그리고 "Wāhine Toa(여성 전사)"프로그램을 통해 여성인력의 군 생활주기(지원-채용-근속-발전)를 고려한 맞춤형 지원으로 우수한 여성인력이 군에 유입될 수 있도록 하였다. 우리 군도 병력 부족 현상을 극복하고 선진 과학기술 군으로 도약하기 위한 방법 중 하나로 여성인력의 비율과 역할 확대를 고려하고 있다. 뉴질랜드군의 여성인력 활용 사례를 통해 시사점을 도출하여 우리 군이 나아가야 할 방향을 고찰하였다.
