The interest and expenditure for children is increasing than in the past because the number of nuclear family is growing, the children's space is configured independently in most homes from infancy, therefore, the market of children's furniture is expanding in spite of the reduction in the population of children. There are not many products considering age, gender, and play behavior in children's furniture market in Korea. The bed, desk, chair, and closet for children under 2 years hold a large majority of children's furniture, there are not a lot of preschool children's furniture for the children aged 4 to 7. As the children aged 4 to 7 experience physical, emotional, and cognitive growth at the same time, the space configuration and furniture choice for these children is educationally very important. Therefore, in this study, we present the importance and necessity of playable furniture to promote the physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive development of the children aged 4 to 7 among preschool children. We found the concept and basic condition of playable furniture to collect the base data for developing playable furniture and provided the basic data for the development of an ideal playable furniture by comparing and analyzing the cases of 157 items of 14 domestic playable furniture companies and 365 items of 30 overseas in aspect of play functions, forms, materials and colors.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the decisions regarding second births. Especially, analysis focused on the connections between desire for a second birth and the family factors such as family values and marital relations because they have been rarely known until now. Data was from 1,156 married women that had only one child and had been part of the national data collected by KIHASA in 2003. Major findings can be summarized as follows. First, it was found that value-related factors affect the likelihood of a second birth. The degree of parental responsibility is negatively related with the desire for a second birth. However, the perceived ideal number of children is positively related to it. Second, it was found that the quality of family relations influences the decision for the second birth. Particularly, marital satisfaction is likely to be the most important factor tending to mediate the effects of socio-demographic factors and value-related factors on the plan for a second birth. These results suggest that the effects of social norms on the number of children and timing of childbearing which exist in the family are becoming weaker. Nevertheless, the traditional value of children such as a preference for a son can still be found.

The average respondent had 3.6 living children. 3. Most of the respondents had knowledge of contraceptive methods such as the Loop(78, 5%) and Oral pill (87.0%). 4. Seventy seven percent of the respondents recognized the Health Center as an available source for family planning. 5. About seventy percent of the respondents approved of family planning. 6.

본 연구는 간호대학생의 결혼의식 및 출산의식, 예비부모역할 정도를 알아보고, 결혼의식과 출산의식이 예비부모역할에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 B시 소재 4년제 대학의 간호대학생 202명이며, 자료수집기간은 2015년 5월 11일에서 15일까지였다. 수집된 자료는 t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients와 multiple regression으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 대상자의 예비부모역할 정도는 경제상태, 이상자녀 수, 희망자녀 수에 따라 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 간호대학생들은 배타적 결혼관이 높았으며, 출산의식과 예비부모역할 정도은 중간보다 높게 나타났다. 예비부모역할은 낭만적 결혼관, 소극적 결혼관과는 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 출산의식과는 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었는데, 하위요인 중 저출산 원인 및 심각성 인식과 국가 기업의 출산지원에 대한 태도와 양의 상관관계가 있었고 각각 통계적으로 유의하였다. 예비부모역할을 설명하는 유의한 변수는 국가 기업의 출산지원에 대한 태도, 희망자녀수, 경제적 수준, 소극적 결혼관으로 나타났다. 이 중 국가 기업의 출산지원에 대한 태도가 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수이었으며, 전체 설명력은 26.9%이었다. 따라서 간호대학생의 예비부모역할의 인식을 높이기 위해서는 경제지원과 보육시설 지원 등 국가와 기업의 출산지원을 높이는 정책과 예비부모교육 프로그램을 개발하고 활용하는 방안이 필요하다.

According to the research taken by the National Statistical Office, the fertility rate of a Korean fertile female is 1.17. This figure is the lowest in the world, and the reduction in the fertility rate over the last 30 years was the biggest in the world. It can be seen as a warning alarm about the effects of a low birth rate and a silver society. Assuming that there are several factors involved in this phenomenon, this study inquired into the attitude towards children, attitude towards nourishing children, attitude towards sex roles and the harmony between the jobs and families of married females, and examined the factors that influence the willingness to give birth. Final 581 copies of the survey questionnaire were used for analysis and the collected data were analysed by SPSS, Pearson's correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Three main conclusions were reached: Firstly, the value variables, such as sex-role attitudes and the preference for work or home, affect the willingness to give birth. Therefore, it can be said that one's values have a significant effect on these variables and the willingness to give birth. Secondly, both working morns and housewives have a strong tendency to give a birth if they are supported on child rearing. Finally, the employment of the married women itself can be a variable that can affect childbirth. In other words, the working hours affect employed married women so as sex-role attitudes, the preference between work and home, ideal number of children, and the income to housewives. Also, even in whole married women, the employment itself can be a major factor of the willingness to have a baby. Therefore, unemployed married women have more of a tendency to have children than employed married women.
