본 연구는 미국 North Carolina의 Durham Chad and Development Study에 참여하는 161 가족의 자료를 이용하여 소득 수준과 인종에 따라 가족들이 선택하는 영아 보육의 특성을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 생후 1년 동안의 영아 보육 선택에 있어 시간에 따른 변화 또한 분석하였다. 소득이 높은 가족들은 더 낮은 소득의 가족들과 비교하였을 때 어머니가 아닌 다른 사람에 의한 영아 보육을 더 많이 이용하였다. 흑인 가족들은 백인 가족에 비해 영아 보육을 더 많이 이용하였다. 저소득 가족은 친척에 의한 보육을 많이 사용하였고, 고소득의 가족은 데이케어 센터와 같은 보다 형식적인 보육에 의존하는 경향이 보였으나, 소득이 보육의 형태에 미치는 영향은 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 저소득층 가족은 영아 보육을 더 이른 시기에 시작하였으며, 유의하게 적은 보육 비용을 지출하였다. 이러한 본 연구 결과들은 저소득층을 위한 영아보육 정책의 중요성과 더불어 영아를 위한 보육 선택에 있어 문화적 차이의 역할을 재조명하였다고 볼 수 있다.

This study evaluates the poverty experiences of low-income single mothers according to the Capability Approach of Amartya Sen. In this approach, the capability to achieve the basic functionings of life, not income itself, is the criterion of poverty. 26 single mothers were interviewed using focus-group interviews and in-depth interviews. 21 functionings on the existence level, 18 on the relatedness level, and 15 on the growth level were found in the areas of work, health, food consumption, clothing, housing, child rearing, and leisure. The results of this study suggest that low-income single mothers can achieve only some of the existence level functionings with significant help from welfare services. They can scarcely achieve higher level functionings in any of these areas.

본 연구는 저소득층을 대상으로 주거이동을 통한 주거 불안정성의 변화를 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. 주거 불안정성은 주택의 노후도, 이사 횟수, 무주택 기간, 주거비 지불능력 등의 지표를 통해 측정하였다. 분석 결과 빈곤층 가구 중 자가 가구는 노후화된 주택의 물리적인 측면에서, 차가 가구는 주거비 부담 측면에서 주거 불안정성이 매우 심각한 것으로 나타났다. 주거이동을 통한 주거 불안정성 변화 요인을 다항로짓모형을 이용하여 추정한 결과 차가 가구의 경우 여성 가구주에 비해 남성 가구주일수록, 소득이 높을수록, 연령이 높을수록 상향이동할 확률이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 거주지별로 보면 비수도권 시 도에 비해 광역시 및 수도권에서 자가 가구의 하향이동 비율이 높아지고 차가 가구의 상향이동 비율이 낮아지는 것으로 나타나 대도시에 거주하고 있는 빈곤층 가구들이 자력으로 주거 불안정성을 개선하는데 더 많은 어려움을 겪는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이전 거주지의 일반주택비율이 높을수록 빈곤층 자가 가구와 차가 가구 모두 하향이동 확률이 낮아지며, 특히 차가 가구의 상향이동 비율이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 빈곤층의 주거 불안정성 개선을 위해서는 아파트 위주의 주택공급보다 저소득층이 지불가능한 저렴한 주택 재고량을 유지시키는 정책이 더 효과적일 수 있음을 시사 해준다.

The basic purpose of this study is to explore the household economic effects on home administration. The major goals of home administration is to promote mental and physical welfare of the family members. In order to realize mental and physical welfare, the stability and satisfaction is needed. And to promote stability and satisfaction, the efficiency must be accomplished and the efforts is required. So the four variables to measure home administration situation are as follows. 1) The degree of the stability 2) The degree of the efficiency 3) The degree of the efforts 4) The degree of the satisfaction. The factor of Household economic level is the size of the family's money income. Although size of income is not the bases for either standard of living or Socioeconomic status, it is closely related to both. To solve this problem. Some hypotheses are specified as follows. Hypotheses I The degree of the stability is different among the groups by income level. The group which is high income level will be more stable than low income level. Hypothesis II The degree of the efficiencies different among the groups by income level. The group which is high income level will be more efficient than low income level. Hypothesis III The degree of the efforts is different among the groups by income level. The group which is high income level will more effort than low income level. Hypothesis IV The degree of the satisfaction is different among the groups by income level. The group which is high income level will feel more satisfaction than low income level. In order to test those hypotheses random selection of 190 subjects from the four girls high schools in Seoul was made, and the parents of the students reported their home administration situation. The results of this study show that; 1) the group which is high income level revealed more stability than low income level. The differences of each group are revealed very significant. 2) The differences of the degree of the efficiency among the groups are unsignificant. 3) the group which is high income level revealed more effort than low income level. The differences of each group are revealed significant. 4) The group which is high income level revealed more satisfaction than low income level. The differences of each group are particularly significant. So the conclusion can be drawn from this study. Every group by income level revealed significant differences in home administration. So the household economy greatly effects on home administration.

In present study, using 1572 low-income families and 266 Head Start teachers from Family and Child Experiences Survey (FACES) in the U.S., we examined the effects of mothers' reading and the characteristics of interaction between teacher-child interaction on 4-and 5-year-olds' cognitive development represented by their verbal and numerical abilities. Frequencies of mothers' reading at home consistently predicted higher scores of children's Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and Woodcock Johnson Applied Problems. Teachers' sensitivity and permissiveness in their interactions with children in classroom were positively related to children's verbal abilities and teachers' sensitivity predicted better numerical abilities of children after controlling for mothers' reading and the characteristics of family and teacher. The findings shed light on the contributions of teacher behaviors and familial factors to children's cognitive development calling for attention to the need for parent education on cognitively stimulating family environments and continuing education for early childhood teachers focusing on quality interactions with young children.

This study categorized the households into four by the comparison of wives' and husbands' earned income, such as one with higher wives' income than husbands' in dual-earner households, with higher wives' income than husbands' in household with unemployed husbands, with lower wives' income than husbands' in dual-earner households, and with lower wives' income than husbands' in household with unemployed wives. This study compared and analyzed the objective and subjective economic well-being, and overall satisfaction of life in those households. Major results are below. First, the amount of expenditures, saving, debt were low in one-earner household with employed husbands, but average propensity to expenditure was high in those households. The amount of saving was low in one-earner households with unemployed husbands, but the average propensity to expenditure and debt were high, resulting in the low status of economic well-being. The amount of saving and monetary assets were high, but average propensity to expenditure and debt were low in households in which wives had higher income than husbands, resulting in the high status of economic well-being. Second, husbands' satisfaction for the level of family income was not different among four groups of households. Wives's satisfaction for those was the lowest when wives' income was higher than husbands', but the highest in households with unemployed wives. Wives' and husbands' expectations for the future economic well-being of the households were negative in households with unemployed husbands. On the other hand, the level of satisfaction of wives and husbands for their life was not different among four groups of households. Finally, four groups of households were discriminated by age of husbands, number of children, debt, and wives' expectation for the future economic well-being.

This study investigated the effects of young children's learning-related skills and the maternal involvement on academic abilities. The sample consisted of 310 children from 7 child-care centers located in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. All variables were measured by the teachers and the mothers of surveyed children. The instrument included the Korean Child Development Inventory(K-CDI) for 4 to 6-year olds and Preschool Learning Behavior Scale(McDermott et al 2000) and the questionnaire on mother's involvement about their children's education. The collected data was analyzed by t-test and hierarchical regression using the SPSS Program. The findings are as follows. First, regardless of the family income level, verbal comprehension and numerical abilities were positively associated with their learning-related skills of young children. Second, the interaction effect of learning-related skills and the mothers' involvement on verbal comprehension of young children in the low-income families was observed. However, no interaction effect was seen in terms of learning-related skills and the maternal involvement on verbal comprehension and numerical abilities of young children in the high-income families. These findings highlight the importance of learning-related skills and their mothers' involvement during the preschool period for the low-income family in improving the early academic achievement.
