The purposes of this study were to analyze the needs for the balance of work-family and to provide the related policies for dual worker family. We focused on the life area of educare and school. Data were collected from 197 working mothers who have 1 or more children under age 10. The findings were: 1) after-school programs, holidays on every alternate Saturday, arbitrary no school days were not appropriate to the working parents' everyday life patterns, so the paradigm and practical conditions should be adapted to the needs of working parents. 2) the most working parents depended on the kindergarden, but the parents' satisfaction with the quality of service, time duration, the human resource of educare teacher was not sufficient, so these issues should be discussed more profoundly.

This qualitative study focused on the dual earner families' work and family life to explore the possibility of ideal work-family balance. Seven employed married women and two men were interviewed about their work-family balance during two months in 2010. We described four representative cases of having difficulty in work and life balance. And we identified the three dimensions to make their work-family balance difficult. They are motherhood ideology, ideal worker, and the limit of men's housework participation. For ideal work-family balance, we suggested alternatives. First, the companies should make various work-life balance programs and allow their workers to use them actively. Second, the government should support the needs of work-life balance and carry out various family-friendly and child care polices. Third, husbands have to participate the housework much more and the model of 'good' parents need to be modified.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of children's characteristics, family environment and child care quality in socio-emotional development of children among dual-worker families. The sample consisted of 138 children aged 5-7 and their parents. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, correlation analysis, one-way ANOVAs, and stepwise regression were used to analyze data. Results showed that there were significant sex differences in children's temperament and popularity. Mother's marital satisfaction had a negative correlation with peer rejection. Low maternal role conflict and child's age had effects on children's self-perception. Moreover, sex and age of the child, mothers' responsive parenting, number of teachers in the classroom were significant predictors for children's peer rejection.

본 연구는 한국의 노인장기요양보험제도에서 자연발생적으로 등장한 '가족요양보호사'에 대해 조사하고 분석하였다. 2012년 기준 방문요양급여의 38.4%가 노인이용자와 가족관계인 요양보호사에 의해 청구되었다. 가족의 돌봄부담을 경감하기 위해 도입한 노인장기요양보험제도에서 가족들은 왜 스스로 요양보호사가 되어 가족돌봄을 유지하는가? 본 연구에서 가족요양보호사 현상은 의도하지 않은 정책결과에 대한 규범적 분석의 대상이 아니라 정책과 정책대상의 욕구가 충돌하는 지점으로 포착되고 탐구되었다. 가족요양보호사를 선택한 가족돌봄자 10명의 사례를 선정하여 심층인터뷰를 진행하였고, 이 자료를 토대로 가족요양보호사의 발생 원인과 가족요양보호사가 받는 급여의 성격을 어떻게 인식하는지를 분석하였다. 연구결과, 생계와 돌봄을 동시에 해결해야 하는 노인가구 가족돌봄자에 의한 선택, 전통적인 가족부양의 연장선에서 이루어지는 부가적인 선택, 제도 안에서 수용되지 않는 서비스를 위한 선택이라는 세 가지 원인이 발견되었다. 연구결과는 노인가구의 소득과 서비스의 통합적 개선방안, 노인장기요양보험제도와 호혜적인 가족돌봄지원 정책의 필요성, 재가서비스의 종류와 내용의 다양화라는 제도적 개선과제를 제시하고 있다.

But Korean men's working time was continuously decreased a little every year. As Korean Companies had fired many worker during IMP economic crisis period, Korean men had to work more than before because of decreased fellows and they should have concentrated on their work at the sacrifice of private life and family-sharing time. On the other hand, some men were started to participate to do housework as a results of long-unemployment and early retirement after this periods. 5 day working system be in forced gradually since 2003 especially make men come back home and interest on housework. So Korean men's housework participation is gradually increasing by the practical application of sex-equitable politics such as 5 day working system and men's suspension regime for baby care. father's increased participation to children education and care, men's new family-oriented life style, dual-sexuality education system, and socially changed perception to husband housemaker. These interrelated trends demands us to shape a new labor division pattern in the family that make change the breadwinner/homemaker conception by the gender role. Now, all of family, men, women, and children have to join housework. It would help women, men, and all families make more human and equitable relationship.
