The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of family mealtime on the childrens' school adaptation. This study uses data from the 2012 Survey on Child Education and School Involvement of Parents by the Center for Family-School Partnership Policy Research at Seoul National University. Survey data was collected from 1500 parents with school-aged children. For the data analysis, Chi sqaure test and hierarchical linear regression analyses were conducted. The results of these analyses showed that the numbers of family meals shared averaged 4.26 times per week for breakfast and 4.33 times per week for dinner. There were significant differences in the number of family meals shared together according to school level, residence area, and parent employment status, and household income. In addition, childrens' school adaptation was significantly different depending on school level, parent gender, parent education, and parent employment status. Finally, according to the hierarchical regression analyses, the number of family meals shared significantly predicted childrens' school adaptation. The greater number of family meals shared, the stronger the childrens' school adaptation. These results indicate that family mealtime has a positive effect on childrens' school adaptation. This study suggests that family mealtime is an indicator of family strength and it needs to guarantee family shared time at least to have a dinner together. This study could provide grounds for making family policy and education policy in order to guarantee family shared time.

This study attempted to explore how middle aged married men and women prospected a Centenarian society and what implications their prospect cast for family policy. We conducted focus group interviews with five groups in order to identify their subjective prospects on marital relations, parent-child relations, caregiving from family or institutions, and alternative living arrangement. From those interviews, we found that married men and women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s possessed ambivalent attitudes toward their marital relationship, either acknowledging an importance of marital relationship or accepting long-standing disrespectful marital relationship. They also had a dualistic perspective on parent-child relationship, accepting parental responsibility for children and even grand-children but maintaining low expectations for children. What they needed was age appropriate opportunities for work or leisure and better community services and facilities. These results showed that the middle-aged was concerned experiencing unprecedented family situations. They needed family life education and services in order to adapt to the Centenarian society. Since family policy has viewed this age group out of service target, programs and services have been underdeveloped for this group. Expecting a Centenarian society however, we need to expand the boundary of family policy and take a new perspective. We need to develop and implement marital education programs, community-based self-care services, and age-appropriated opportunities for work, leisure, and social relations.

본 연구는 두 가지의 연구관심으로부터 출발한다. 첫째, 가족정책 연구 분야에서 가족법이 등한시되었다는 것인데, 가족법은 가족생활에 대한 국가 개입의 핵심임에도 불구하고 비교연구방법을 사용한 선행연구의 부족으로 많이 다루어지지 못하였다. 둘째, 법학에서의 가족 및 가족정책의 개념 및 접근 방법을 살펴봄으로써 가족정책의 외연이 넓혀질 수 있다는 것이다. 이 둘을 결합하여 본 연구는 법학에서의 부양 공동체라는 분석틀을 도출하여 유형구분의 시각에서 한국과 EU 16개국의 가족법의 주요 내용을 비교하고자 한다. 사용되는 방법론은 주관적 해석을 배제하여 부부관계와 부모자녀관계에서 부양의무와 관련되는 주요 내용을 살펴본 후, 사생활과 자율성이라는 기준을 통해 가족법 체제의 유형구분을 군집분석을 통해 시행하는 것이다. 분석결과를 살펴보면 군집분석 대상 16개국은 북구(노르웨이, 스웨덴) 서북유럽(덴마크, 프랑스, 영국, 핀란드, 벨기에) 그리고 중남유럽(이태리, 스페인, 오스트리아, 포르투갈, 네덜란드, 그리스, 아일랜드, 독일, 한국)등 세 개의 군집으로 분류되었다. OECD 21개국의 가족정책을 대상으로 군집분석을 한 선행연구와 비교하면, 세 개의 군집으로 분류되는 것은 동일하지만 덴마크와 핀란드는 가족정책에 의하면 북구군집에 속하였으나 가족법의 분류에서는 서북유럽 군집으로, 독일, 오스트리아, 네덜란드, 아일랜드 등은 유럽대륙·영연방군집에 속하였으나 중남유럽군집으로 분류되었다는 차이가 있다. 본 연구의 이론적 함의는 가족법에서도 가족정책의 군집분석과 같이 세 개의 군집으로 구분되었다는 점에서 일관성이 있으나, 몇 개의 국가는 가족정책과 가족법에 속하는 유형이 다르다는 점에서 포괄적인 의미의 가족정책이 항상 일관성을 가지는 것은 아님을 알 수 있다.

This study examined the factors related to family caregiver satisfaction with institutional care services for beneficiaries under the Public Long-Term Care Insurance(PLTCI) system. Determining what contributes to family caregiver satisfaction is a critical step toward implementing effective quality improvement strategies. A national cross-sectional descriptive survey was conducted from November to December 2008, using proportionate quota sampling based on the location and level of Long-Term Care of the beneficiaries. Total 1,745 family caregivers wrote informed consents and 733 (response rate 42%) completed questionnaires, which included caregiver characteristics, organizational resources, primary objective and subjective stressors, perceived quality of services, and family caregiver satisfaction. Family caregivers were satisfied overall with institutional care. In multiple regression analysis, there was a statistically significant difference in degree of family caregiver satisfaction according to caregiver characteristics(relationship to beneficiary), primary objective stressors (insurance type of beneficiary), perceived quality of services(respect to family caregivers' idea, ADL support, expertness of staff, careful concern of staff, fulfillment of client's requests, and safety of institution's environment). In public long-term care, satisfaction efforts are in an early stage of development. This study is meaningful as the first attempt to measure family caregiver satisfaction with institutional care for beneficiaries under the PLTCI system, and to identify factors affecting the satisfaction. Among the identified factors, the policy makers, the insurer, and the providers need to pay attention to perceived quality of services, in particular, to improve customer satisfaction. Our findings can provide quality care improvement initiatives in the public long-term care setting.

The number of Healthy Family Support Centers has dramatically increased and the services for healthy families such as family education, family counsel, family culture and family care have increased during the past ten years since the Framework Act on Healthy Families was enacted. This growth is largely credited to Healthy Family Specialists. At a time when the family policy delivery system is changing, it is most urgent to enhance the capability of Healthy Family Specialists. In this study, we aim to investigate the current capability of Healthy Family Specialists and suggest the education plan for their empowerment. We collected data from 151 Healthy Family Support Centers by mail and e-mail in June 2014. There were total of 1,001 subjects for analysis(781 by mail and 220 by e-mail). We analyzed the capabilities of Healthy Family Specialist by service areas according to work-related characteristics and possession of a license. Our findings revealed that the capabilities of Healthy Family Specialist varied depending on the service year and whether or not having a licence. These results suggest that the education program for empowerment will provide a differentiated content according to the service year and whether or not having a license. This study contributes to a better understanding of Healthy Family Specialists' current capability and provides insights on how to enhance their capability in order to change the family policy delivery system.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a family impact analysis to examine the effects of policies to lower fertility in families in Korea. Data were collected from a purposive sample of three groups of government officials, family scholars, and staff at family-related organizations and associations. 105 family policy professionals responded to the self-report questionnaire. The family impact analysis scale was formulated by the researcher based on Ooms'(1995)'A checklist for assessing the impact of policies on families' and Lawson & Lawson's(2001)'An example on family impact analysis checklist or inventory.' The results showed there were eight factors in the family impact analysis on the policies to low fertility in Korea; strengthening family membership and stability; providing various convenient public services; recognizing family interdependence; recognizing the efficiency of implementing policies and support of vulnerable families; strengthening the family function of childbirth; recognizing family relationships; preventing family problems and empowering families; and recognizing family diversity. The conclusions and implications of these findings were also discussed.

The aim of this study is to suggest the introduction of family impact analysis. Family impact analysis is needed to evaluate family policies from the family perspective. This study deals with the definition of family impact analysis and the cases of other impact analysis, such as gender impact assessment and employment impact analysis. In addition, this study suggests the introduction of family impact analysis with evaluation methods, evaluation indicators, and evaluation processes. Evaluation methods are divided into self-assessment and specific-assessment. Evaluation indicators need to be developed based on the family strength. This research also suggests the securing of family time as a basic assessment indicator. The evaluation processes consist of object selection, assessment, evaluation report, and policy improvement. Finally, this study suggests that family impact analysis is a strong strategy for promoting family-friendly policies. In order to introduce family impact analysis in a more systematic manner, further studies on the standards of assessment, formation of research institutions, and the legislative system will be necessary.

본 연구에서는 아동·가족 복지지출의 결정요인들이 무엇인지, 기존의 총량 복지지출 결정요인을 설명하는 이론들이 아동·가족 복지지출 결정요인에서도 유용한지 고찰하고 아동·가족 복지지출에 영향을 미치는 고유의 요인을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 결합시계열 분석방법을 이용하여 OECD 회원국 14개 국가의 26년간 자료를 분석하였다. 분석결과 산업화 이론의 경우 여성경제활동참가율이 높을수록 아동·가족 복지지출 총량이 증가하고, 아동인구 비율은 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타나 아동·가족 복지지출의 수요측 요인은 아동의 욕구가 아닌 일하는 여성의 욕구인 것을 알 수 있었다. 권력자원론의 경우 좌파내각 비율과 노조조직률 변수를 투입하여 권력자원론이 아동·가족복지지출에서도 어느 정도 유효한 설명인 것으로 판단할 수 있었다. 여성의 경제적·정치적 권한 강화가 아동·가족복지 지출에 부분적으로 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 아동·가족복지지출 결정요인의 여성주의 이론을 통한 설명 가능성을 제시하였다. 신제도주의론에서는 정책유제의 영향은 확인할 수 있었으나, 구축효과를 확인할 수는 없었다. 이를 통해 기존의 복지지출 결정요인을 설명하는 이론적 기반을 아동가족지출 영역으로까지 확대하여 해석할 수 있다는 것을 검증하였다는 점에서 이론적 함의를 찾을 수 있다. 또한 복지국가의 예산 제약 상황에서 점차 증가하는 새로운 사회적 위험에 효과적으로 대응하기 위하여 어떤 정치경제적·제도적 기반이 필요한지에 대해 본 연구가 시사하는 바가 크다.

본 연구는 '자녀유무별 여성임금격차(Family gap)' 의 국가별 차이를 가져오는 제도적 요인을 탐색하기 위해 OECD 14개국을 대상으로 가족정책, 노동시장 및 사회구조와 Family gap의 관계를 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 때 가족정책을 여성의 노동역할을 지원하는 '고용지원 가족정책' 과 양육역할을 지원하는 '양육지원 가족정책' 으로 분류하여 각각이 가지는 정책적 지향에 따라 Family gap에 미치는 영향을 구분하였으며 노동시장 및 사회구조를 분석하기 위한 변수로 노동시장 성분절 구조, 임금불평등 구조, 여성의 사회적 지위와 경제적 상황을 모형에 포함하였다. 분석을 위하여 먼저 헤크만 2단계추정법(Heckman's two stage estimation)을 통해 국가별 Family gap 크기를 측정한 후 퍼지셋분석(FSQCA)을 통해 어떠한 제도적 조합이 낮은 Family gap을 가져오는지 검증하였다. 분석결과 낮은 Family gap은 '고용지원 가족정책' 의 발달과 '낮은 임금불평등 구조' 의 결합인과관계(conjunctual causation)에 의해 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과를 통해 '자녀가 있는 여성' 의 양육으로 인한 불리함을 줄이고 상대적인 임금수준을 높이기 위한 제도적 노력으로 여성의 고용지속 및 양육의 사회화를 지원하고 여성과 남성 모두의 일-가족 양립을 지향하는 가족정책의 확충과 함께 낮은 노동지위에 있는 여성의 임금 및 고용조건의 보호가 우선과제가 된다는 정책적 함의를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the policy demands of the family sector for work-family balance, with a focus on the child care and household labor provisions. For empirical analysis, data were collected from 197 dual-income families with at least one young child under age 10 in the metropolitan area via self-administered questionnaires. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, child care provisions for working mothers and fathers were insufficient and unfair, and the ratio of child care provisions offered by familial child care network was high. The characteristics of child care provisions for working parents were associated with family structure, working conditions, and demographic variables. Second, household labor provisions for working mothers and fathers were also insufficient and unfair, and the ratio of socialization was high. Third, the level of family satisfaction varied by the level of child care and household labor provisions, respectively, controlling family structure, working conditions, and demographic variables. The empirical results of the study provided policy implications for work-family balance.
