The purpose of this study is to explore whether the phenomenon of both married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with their parents in Korean society is "unilaterally parasitic" on the child's side, or is "interdependent", characterized by expectation and dependence from the parent's side. As a result of this study possessing the characteristics of theoretic research, the following propensities of parent-dependent adults have been discussed. First of all, it was discovered that the ratio of adult children dependent on and cohabiting with their parents is considerable. Second, parents cohabiting with their adult children have unfavorable sociological features, such as high age, low level of education and income, and lower standards of education and income, compared to parents in normal households. Third, it was found that parent-dependent adults in Korean society maintain a relatively high rate of financial activity and stable employment-based occupation status. Fourth, it was shown that the level of satisfaction on the relationship between parent-dependent adults and their parents was discovered to be high, which is contrastive to the prediction of negative results based on some previous researches. Single adult children's age, their level of education and financial activity status, and their parents' age and level of education were deducted as variables related to the level of satisfaction of the relationship between parents and their children. It seems that the issue of married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with their parents in Korean society should be approached from various perspectives such as political, economic, socio-cultural and developmental aspects. On the basis of this fundamental awareness and several of the materials, it is pertinent that approaches to both married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with parents in Korean society should be distinguished from approaches to those in Japanese or Western society because it reflects the uniqueness of Korean society. In the phenomenon of married and unmarried adults' cohabiting with their parents in Korean society, there are several factors besides the economic factor, especially the socio-cultural factor that have the characteristics of mutual dependence between parents and their children rather than those of unilateral parasitism, in contrast with the phenomenon in Japanese or Western society. This research was aimed to contribute by establishing basic data for policy making by providing necessary information to treat the issues of instability and anxiety related to families and reflection on the matters of generations and parent-child relationships in current Korean society.

Family has emerged as a key concept for health, and it has been identified as one of the most important conditions. The relationship between health habit and its management is different depending on family. The odd pair family, mostly rural lower income class, worry to have poor health because of no spouse and small family size. One thousand eight hundred and seventy(1870) subjects were collected in 9 provinces through the sampling of Probability Proportional to Size (PPS). Questionnaire method was conducted on health checking, bath states, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and the prevalence of farmer's health related problems. The main results were as follows: 1) The characteristics of odd pair families are that the head of household is female(77% ), the size of family is small(1.76 persons), the education level is low(7.5 years for male, 3.1 years for female) and the age group is old (male: 89.78 year old, female: 73.69 year old). 2) For the odd pair family, the frequency of health checking is quite low with one or two times per year(l0.2%) and the rate of no-health checking is much higher(35.8%) .3) Bathing utility is not available 29.6% of the odd pair family and only cold water is supplied at home for the 11.5 % of them. However, for the paired family, 9.8 % of them has no bathing utility and the rate of the family supplied with only cold water is just 7.9%. 4) The bathing frequency score of odd pair family is l.74points for male and 1.25 points for female. 5) The rate of smoking habits for odd pair family is 68.5 % and specially it is 7.6% for female, which is higher comparing with that of pair family. 6) The smoking frequency score of odd pair family is 1.57 points. 7) Alcohol drinking frequency score of odd pair family is 1.79 points for male, and 3.24points for female. 8) Farmers' syndrome(FS) revealed 38.7% of odd pair family and it is lower than that of pair family(57.3%). Special pain of FS was huckle bone and muscle(28.4%) and articular pain(24.l %). The pain rate of huckle bone and muscle(43.l %) and articular pain(33.5%) were higher in a year in odd pair family were lower than those of pair family: farming machine caused accidents(6.5%) and pesticide poisoning(5.7%). l0) The odd pair family use more frequently medical clinic or public health center for the treatment of FS(74.7%) and pesticide poisoning(62.5%) than the pair family for FS(69.0%) and for pesticide poisoning(.53.6%). The score of FS treatment is 5.70 points for odd pair family and it is not significantly different from 5.62 points of the paired family. The result of pesticide poisoning treatment score is as same as that of FS.

Accidents involving children are an important cause of death and disability. They also have enomorous financial implications. In order to prevent childhood accidents, research and education for safety should be strengthened. The purpose of this study was to determine how often young children have accidents and what factors affect the accident rate. The sample consisted of 771 children who were in the second, third and forth grades of two elementary schools located in Kyung-gi Province. One school had students from middle class families living in apartment complexes and the other, students from lower income families mainly living in single houses. The questionnaires included items on the occurance of accidents and the parents' attitudes regarding accidents during the academic year from March 1997 to February 1998. The Questionnaires were distributed to conventiently selected students to be compeleted by their parents and collected during the period of May 28, to June 6, 1998. The data were analyzed using SAS PC statistical package. The results of the study are as follows ; 1. Of 771 student subjects, 393 had 887 accidental injuries during the study period. 2. The month, the day and the time with the highest accident rate were May, Sunday, and between 1 and 4 p. m. each. 3. In the analysis of the location where the injury took place, the most frequent place was on around their homes followed by school and, then, inside the home 4. Most of the accidents were caused by carelessness on the part of the children and the most frequent type of injury was an abrasion. 5. Children most injured their legs 6. They were treated at home most often and usually emergency treatment was performed by family members with, disinfection being the main type of first aid. Cost of the treatment ranged from 8,000 to 20,000 won in most cases. 7. House type and parents' education level were statistically significant in chi-square analysis. 8. Parents educate their children about traffic safety most frequently followed by fire safety and, then, prevention of violence. 9.

이 연구에서는 외환위기가 발생한 후 년 동안 한국사회에서 어떠한 변화가 있었는지를 소득 및 소비생활의 변화와 소비의식을 중심으로 살펴보고, 이와 함께 외환위기를 전후하여 경제적인 난관과 동시에 발생한 개인해체 및 사회해체를 포함하여 제반 사회문제들을 함께 살펴봄으로써 외환위기에 따른 충격의 정도와 범위가 개인 및 집단에 미친 영향을 고찰한다. 외환위기 이후 10년 동안의 중산층 귀속감을 통하여 중산층 잔류 및 이탈을 살펴보았을 때, 과거에 중산층이었던 사람들의 약 60%가 중산층에 잔류하였고 나머지 40%는 중산층에서 이탈하여 지위의 하락을 경험하였다. 외환위기 이후 3명 중 1명 이상이 소득과 자산이 감소된 것으로 보고되었다 자산 및 소득의 감소는 개인들의 일상생활과 소비생활에도 영향을 미쳤는데, 자산이나 소득이 감소한 사람들에게서 실업, 부도와 신용불량, 건강악화, 우울증과 자살충동, 그리고 가족해체 등을 경험한 비중이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 계층이동에 따라서도 유사한 양상을 보여, 중산층에서 이탈한 사람일수록 이러한 개인해체 및 가족해체와 같은 일상의 부정적인 변화를 많이 경험한 것으로 나타났다. 외환위기의 충격으로 소비심리가 위축되고 생활비규모의 축소 및 건전소비가 확산되었으나, 소비행위는 양극화되는 반면 다른 한편으로는 명품선호 경향과 지위소비의식은 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 것을 볼 수 있다. 계층별 소비생활에서도 핵심적 중산층은 교육비부담을 하층은 생계비 부담을, 가장 많이 지목하고 있는 가운데, 소득이나 자산이 감소한 집단과 중산층에서 이탈한 집단일수록 사교육비의 부담을 많이 느끼며 강한 교육가치를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타나 자녀교육에 대한 투자는 지속성이 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 이와 같이 외환위기의 굴절양상이 계층별로 차별화되어 나타나고 있으며 특히 자산과 소득의 증가 및 감소여부와 계층이동의 양상이 일상의 변화 및 소비생활의 양극화를 초래하는 주요한 원인이 되고 있다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the preference for living with adult children of the baby-boomer generation and the elderly based on independent variables such as demographic characteristics, the values of their children and the consciousness for supporting their parents. The National Survey of Korean Families was done by the Ministry of Equality and Family in 2010. Respondents were 664 baby boomers and 628 elderly, and the results are as follows. First, the baby boomers rely heavily on their spouse, whereas the elderly rely heavily on their children. While both groups desire to live with their spouse in their later years, and the elderly rely the most on their children, they are reluctant to live together. This result shows that the elderly have high expectations for financial and emotional support from their children, but in reality, the elderly have lower expectations for living together and they prefer to live alone or with their spouse. Second, the boomers, who for the most part live in big cities, have comparatively high average monthly income and jobs and own a house, consider filial obligation as their own responsibility and yet tend to live independently. The boomers, who have a relatively high education level, consider living with aged parents as the children's obligation and consider their children as the most reliable people in their lives, and thus have high expectations to live together with their children. Third, the elderly, with a spouse, who consider having raised children to be their happiness, while considering providing financial support for the aging parents to be the children's responsibility, at the same time accept that the obligation of support lies on themselves, the government or the society, and thus have lower expectations of living with their children in later years. The elderly, now living with their family, with generous financial plans for their aging years and considering the children's success as their own success, have higher expectations of living together with their children.

This study examines how economic and psychological characteristics affect the quality of life (QoL) of elderly individuals age 60 and older, who live in the Seoul-metropolitan area. Relationships among socio-demographic status, economic conditions, psychological characteristics, family life, health status, and QoL are examined by t-test and ANOVA(Duncan's test as post hoc multiple comparisons), and the multiple regression analysis is used to estimate QoL determinants in the elderly. The major findings of the study are as follows. First, younger age, higher education levels, better health status, harmonious family relations, higher levels of household income, lower levels of loneliness, and higher self-esteems are related to higher QoL levels. Second, the impacts of factors on QoL are differentiated according to tercile groups that divide monthly allowance of respondents into three categories: below normal (threshold amount below 21MW), near normal (threshold amount between 21MW and 35MW), and above normal (threshold amount above 35MW). For each tercile group, poor health status or higher loneliness have negative effects on QoL, while harmonious family relationship has a positive effect. For the below-normal group, years of education or self-esteem have positive effects, while age or retirement status have negative effects when controlling for other factors. For the near-normal group, being married, or perceived financial insecurity create lower QoL levels, while higher self-esteem increases QoL levels. For the above-normal group, being widowed, employed, or retired have positive effects on QoL, when controlling for other variables. Third, even among elderly with high allowances, the effects of health status and family relationship are significant determinants that explain QoL levels. This result suggests that, for te elderly, poor health status and poor family relationships severely decrease QoL in later life, regardless of economic condition.

1990년대 중반부터 이혼율이 급증하여 한부모 가정이 증가하고 있다. 한부모 가정의 문제는 통상적으로 모자가정의 문제라고 인식되고 있지만, 본 연구는 최저소득층의 경우 모자가구의 형성자체가 어려워 편부가 자녀양육을 맡게 되고 따라서 편부의 사회경제적 지위가 편모에 비해 더 낮을 수도 있다는 가설을 제시하였다. 가설검증을 위해 2005년 센서스 2% 표본자료를 사용하였다. 먼저 12세 이하 아동표본을 바탕으로 한부모 가구 부모의 특성을 분석한 결과, 양친가구 모와 부, 별거가구 모와 부, 무배우 모와 부 중에서 무배우 부의 교육수준이 가장 낮았는데, 특히 중학교 이하의 비율이 가장 높았다. 무배우 모에 비해서 무배우 부의 취업률은 높지만 취업자만 볼 때 직업적 지위는 더 낮았다. 무배우 부가 속한 가구의 가구주도 무배우 모가 속한 가구의 가구주보다 교육수준이 낮았다. 다음, 분석에서 암시된 저소득여성의 자녀별거성향을 확인하기 위하여 12세 이하 자녀를 가진 이혼모 표본을 이용하여 자녀와 비동거하는 요인을 살펴보았다. 여성의 사회적 경제적 자원이 적을수록 자녀 비동거의 확률이 높다는 것이 확인되었다. 즉, 여성의 교육수준이 자녀 비동거와 뚜렷한 부의 관계를 보였고, 부모와의 동거가 자녀 비동거를 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 가구의 분포를 보면 무배우 모의 수가 무배우 부보다 더 많은 것이 사실이지만 한부모 가구의 사회경제적 지위가 일반적으로 양부모가구보다 현저히 낮다는 사실과 더불어 무배우 부 가정의 취약성에 주목할 필요가 있다.

The graying of populations is emerging as an international issue around the world, and this is a problem that is rapidly advancing in Korea as well, signaling the need for financial preparations for the aged. For this purpose, various retirement pension systems are being employed as preparatory measures for the nation's elderly. Using data from 1474 people in the 2007 panel study of National Security for the Retired, the present work attempts to look at satisfaction rates with regard to public pension receipts for the national pension and special occupational pensions according to general characteristics and factors related to the preparation for an aging society. Satisfaction with retirement pension receipts according to the type of pension was high for special occupation retirement pensions, individual retirement pensions and the national retirement pension, in that order. Looking at satisfaction rates based on the general characteristics of pension recipients, the study revealed that for the national pension, satisfaction was highest for groups with above-average physical and psychological health, groups who think appropriate living expenses for the elderly are lower, groups in which a partner also earns income, and groups who had amply prepared for their expected living expenses in later life. Regarding special occupation retirement pensions, satisfaction was high for groups over the age of 70, groups with good psychological health, and groups sufficiently prepared for their living expenses in later expenses, compared to groups for which these factors did not apply. In terms of the relative influences impacting retirement pension recipient satisfaction, satisfaction with the national pension was highest when the primary source to cover elderly living expenses was a resource other than income earned by the recipient and their partner and/or income received from children. Concerning special occupation retirement pensions, satisfaction was highest among those whose education terminated before middle school, and for those in good physical health. Based on the above results, it is vital that plans exist for preparing sufficiently for the living expenses of the elderly and for facilitating the physical and psychological health of pension recipients. Plans are also necessary to, ensure that citizens are provided with easily accessible educational programs and activities regarding general installment savings and deposits, stocks and bonds, real estate investments, individual retirement pensions, private insurance, severance pay pensions, and public pensions.

최근(最近)의 분배개선(分配改善)을 위한 자본(資本) 및 자본소득(資本所得)에 대한 조세강화논의(租稅强化論議)와 관련하여, 본고(本稿)에서는 자본소득세(資本所得稅)와 상속세(相續稅)에 의한 정부(政府)의 재분배정책(再分配政策)의 실효성(實效性)을 이론적(理論的)으로 검토하여 보았다. 분석(分析)을 위해서 임금소득(賃金所得)에 의존하는 노동자계층(勞動者階層)과 상속(相續)된 자산(資産)으로부터의 소득(所得)에 의존하는 자본가계층(資本家階層)이 공존(共存)하는 중복세대모형을 구성하였으며, 정부(政府)가 자본소득세(資本所得稅) 및 상속세(相續稅)로부터의 세수(稅收)를 노동자계층(勞動者階層)에게 이전(移轉)시킬 경우, 어느 정도의 노동자계층(勞動者階層)의 후생증대효과(厚生增大效果)가 있는가를 살펴보고자 하였다. 본고(本稿)의 분석(分析)에 의하면 두 조세(租稅) 모두 자본가(資本家)로부터 노동자(勞動者)에게로의 세부담(稅負擔)의 전가(轉嫁) 및 후생상실(厚生喪失)(dead-weight loss)효과(效果)가 소득이전효과(所得移轉效果)를 초과하게 되어 장기적(長期的)으로 재분배적(再分配的) 유효성(有效性)이 상실(喪失)되며, 또한 이러한 부(負)의 효과(效果)는 상속세(相續稅)의 경우가 자본소득세(資本所得稅)보다 오히려 커지게 됨을 대체적(代替的) 전가분석(轉嫁分析)(differential incidence)응 통하여 도출하였다. 따라서 자본세(資本稅)를 이용한 재분배정책(再分配政策)이 장기적(長期的)으로 실효(實效)를 거두기 위해서는 저축(貯蓄) 및 투자동기(投資動機)를 제고(提高)시킬 수 있는 정책수단(政策手段)이 병행(竝行)되어야 할 것이다.
