여러 개인이 가구를 구성하여 시장소득을 공유하고 내구재를 공동 소비함에 따라 가구소득의 불평등은 시장소득의 불평등에 비해 상당히 완화될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가구규모 및 구성의 변화가 가구 구성의 불평등 완화 효과를 어떻게 변화시켰는지에 대해 분석한다. 우선 가구원 수의 분포와 가구 구성원 신분의 분포 변화는 대체로 가구 구성의 소득불평등완화 효과를 억제시켜 온 것으로 평가되는데, 그 배경에는 고령화 및 핵가족화에 따른 노인가구의 증가를 반영한 가구의 소규모화가 주요 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 반면 가구 내에서 배우자 및 가구원의 추가적인 취업과 소득은 가구 구성의 소득불평등완화 효과에 지속적으로 기여하여 온 것으로 평가된다. 따라서 가구 구성을 통한 소득불평등완화 효과를 유지하기 위해서는, 첫째, 전반적인 취업을 촉진함과 동시에, 둘째, 저소득 노인 가구에 대한 합리적인 지원정책과 더불어 비효율적으로 세대 간 동거(co-habitation)를 억제하는 요인을 개선하는 균형된 정책 조합이 필요하다고 판단된다.

Using data from the 2008 Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, this study investigated the income class differences in the modes, amount of time, and expenses for caring and educating a child in early childhood. The sample consisted of 1,849 households with a child aged 6 years or less. The major findings were as follows. First, the lower-income class was more likely to rely on child care centers and less likely to use services provided by kindergarten or private education. Their total amount of time required to provide care and education for their child was about 4 or 5 hours less than that of the other income classes; this result was due to the fact that they consumed less hours for home care, kindergarten, and private education. Second, we found there were more similarities than differences between middle-income and upper-income classes in the modes, amount of time, and expenses to care for and educate their young children; however, the middle-income class used less private education than the upper-income classes in terms of usage rate and length of time. Lastly, the other variables which were significantly related with the amount of time and expenses for child care and education included mother's employment, age of the child, and having siblings, and the family size. Based on the results, implications for public policy on early childhood care and education were suggested.

This study was carried out to compare the dietary behaviors and nutrient intakes among the students(13 years of age) of middle schools between in industrial complex and in non-industrial complex. The subjects of each group were composed of 192 male and female teenagers living in Ansan city in Korea, and this study was performed by questionnaire and dietary survey. As a result, mothers' education level and monthly family income were lower in industrial complex-families(ICF) than those in non-industrial complex-families(NICF). The subjects in ICF took dinner more irregularly than did those in NICF. The subjects in ICF skipped the meals often as there was no person preparing meals'. The subjects in ICF tended to take ra-myun, cookie or bread more often as a lunch, and they considered size and price of snack more imporandy when they chose snack than those in NICF. And the subjects in ICF had lower degree of flood habits and satisfaction on their meals than those in NICF. The daily intakes of calorie, vitamin B$_2$, calcium and iron of subjects of two groups were lower than the Korean RDA, and these intakes were lower in ICF than in NICF. These findings show that dietary behaviors and nutrient intakes were poor among the students of middle schools in ICF, in part it seems to be related to the fact that the group of ICF has low family income and mothers of ICF have the jobs that are finished late or irregularly. Therefore, these results underscore the need to provide the nutritional education for the students of middle schools and their mothers in ICF with respect to the importance of optimal nutrition through sound dietary behaviors during the adolescence.

Farm households consumption pattern from 1960 to 1968 was analized as follows. First, the influence of the price on the consumption pattern was observed by year for 9 years. Second, the influence of farm households and by size of the consmption pattern was analized by year for whole household and by size of the arable land. Third, the present status and problems of farm families consumption pattern was attempted to be found out compared with the pattern of all families of Seoul. Forth, the pattern of food expenditure which has the largest proportion in the living expenditure was analized. Following results and conclusions are obtained from the above analysis.1. The average nominal increase rate of all farm households has been increased gradually for 9 years, mostly due to the rise in household goods prices paid by farmers. 2. The living expenditure varies with the price and the disposal income, The influence of the latter is greater than that of the former. 3. The Engel's Coefficient of farmers. the average of which was 54.9%, recently tends to decrease gradually. The larger is the size of arable land, the lower is the Coefficient of farm households. But the Coefficient of farm households is higher than that of city families. 4. In general the proportion of food expenditure has a great influence on the consumption pattern, The average percentage of miscellaneous expenditure is 23.9% and it is next to food expenditure. The relationship between them is going reversely. Housing expenditure has usually the constant proportion. But the difference of the proportion between farm households (4.0%) and city families (17.1%) is considerable. Clothing expenditure and fuel and light expenditure have small variations. The former tends to increase with the income, and the latter tends to decrease with it or is constant. 5. Considering the food expenditure pattern, the average percentage (78.4%)of staple food of farm household is remarkably high compared with Seoul (48.3%) and other cities (54.0%). The decrease of the percentage of staple food expenditure in farm households is not so much as cities. 6. The propertion of the staple food expenditure of Farm families don't have so much differences by the size of arable land. But the rice proportion of staple foods has the tendency to increase with the income level. Subsidery food expenditure doesn't increase by year and by size of the land, while the consumption of meat and manufactured foods tends to increase with size of the land. But even big farm households don't reach to the level of cities in consumption of them. 7. Food consumption pattern may be influenced by the factors such as the knowledge of wife about nutrition, customs, consumption habits, and so on. The difference between farm households and city families in food consumption pattern is inferred from the above factors. Presently, the increasing income of the people promote the consumption of all items of living expenditure both in cities and farm households. But the Engel's Coeffcient and the proportion of the staple food expenditure is expected to decrease in farm households more than in cities.

The purpose of this study was to examine the economic status of retired elderly households. This study especially looked for the differences in the economic status among retired elderly households and the level of subjective financial strain. The data were drawn from the data of 2000 Korean Labor and Income Panel Study (KLIPS) conducted by the Korea Labor Institute. The major findings are as follows: 1) The levels of income in the retired households were found to be lower than those of the employed elderly households, and the transfer income took the biggest portion out of 5 income types reflecting high economic dependency. 2) The levels of expenditure were found to be similar to the minimum living cost, and the food cost at home was 41.9% of the expenditure. 3) About 40% and 27.3% of households reported that they felt financial strain due to food expenditures at home and health care respectively. 4) Ninety percent of all assets were found to be real estate, reflecting the lack of asset liquidity. Further, retired elderly households were classified as 'not at all strained financially', 'moderate', 'seriously strained', and 'extremely strained' groups according to their subjective assessment. The last two groups showed the lower level of income and expenditures than the first two groups. In particular, 26.5% of retired elderly households belonged to 'extremely strained' group and showed very serious economic problems.

본 연구는 노인 소득원을 국가소득. 시장소득, 가구소득, 전체소득으로 구분하여 분담구조를 살펴보고, 노인특성에 따른 차이를 분석하여 노인특성에 맞는 노후소득보장체계 구축자료로 활용하기 위한 것이다. 분석결과 첫째, 노인 소득원은 시장소득이 305만원으로 가장 많았고, 국가 248만원, 가족 218만원의 순으로 시장에 많이 의존하고 있었다. 둘째, 인구사회학적 특성에 따라서는 남성노인이 여성보다 국가, 시장을 통해 소득을 많이 얻는 반면, 여성은 가족을 통해 많이 받고 있었다. 연령에 따라서는 시장소득은 젊은 노인일수록 월등히 많고, 가족소득은 고령 노인일수록 많았다. 시장소득이 많은 비중을 차지하는 노인소득구성의 특성상 경제활동을 할 수 있는 젊은 노인들의 전체소득이 많았다. 지역에 따라서는 국가소득, 가족소득은 도시화된 지역이 많은 반면, 시장소득은 읍면지역이 많았으며, 배우자 유 무에 따라서는 국가소득, 시장소득은 배우자가 있는 경우가 많은 반면, 가족소득은 없는 경우가 더 많았다. 셋째, 소득수준에 따라서는 국가소득, 시장소득은 고소득층이 가장 많은 반면 가족소득은 고소득층이 가장 적었다. 저소득층 노인의 경우 가족소득에 의존하고 있어서 빈곤상태가 지속될 가능성이 큰 것이다. 넷째, 건강상태에 따른 소득원별 차이를 분석한 결과 건강수준이 좋을수록 국가와 시장소득이 높고 낮을수록 가족 등 사적인 영역에 많이 의존하고 있었다. 이상의 분담구조별 차이는 요인분석결과에서도 동일하게 나타났다. 따라서 우리나라 노인은 시장과 가족소득 의존이 서구국가보다 높으며 여성, 저소득층, 건강상태가 나쁜 노인 등 취약한 특성을 가진 경우에 가족 시장소득에 많이 의존하고 있어서 공적소득지원체계의 보완이 필요하다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of breakfast service on nutritional status, hematological status, and attentiveness of children in low-income families. The subjects were 19 boys and 13 girls between 7 and 11 years old. The subjects were divided into a control group and a breakfast service (BS) group, in which 12 boys and 5 girls received breakfast from February 1 to December 31, 2010. The results can be summarized as follows: intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin $B_2$, niacin, and vitamin C in the BS group were significantly higher than those in the control group. In the BS group, the intakes of calcium, folic acid, and vitamin C were lower than 75% of recommended intake levels. There were no significant differences in the total blood protein level and total cholesterol level between the BS group and control group. A blood albumin level was significantly higher in the BS group than in the control group. Systolic blood pressure was higher in the BS group than in the control group, whereas the diastolic blood pressure showed no significant difference between the groups. A dietary attitude score increased according to breakfast service and nutritional education. No significant differences were found in the capacity value and continuity value between the two groups, but the control value was significantly higher in the BS group than in the control group. Therefore, to sustain the effect of breakfast service and improve nutritional status for children skipping breakfast in low-income families, nutrition intervention services, as well as legal and financial support by the government should be provided.

본 연구의 목적은 한국복지패널데이터의 흡연음주 현황과 관련 건강위험요인을 연구분석 하는 데 있다. 성, 연령, 외래의료이용횟수, 주관적 건강수준, 흡연수준, 음주수준, 우울증상, 저소득 등이 주요 분석변수였다. 복지패널데이터에 있는 건강변수가 제한된 관계로 분석도 제한적으로 실시되었다. 흡연율은 성별 차이가 컸고, 특히 연령이 젊을수록 높았으며, 저소득 층에서 더 높았다. 20-29세 연령층의 경우 흡연율이 일반계층은 23.3%였고, 저소득층에서는 25%였다. 20대 남성흡연율은 일반가구 48.1%, 저 소득가구 47.4%로 큰 차이가 없었으나 30대에서는 일반가구 60.7%, 저 소득가구 71.0%로 가장 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 여성의 경우 전 연령층에서 저 소득층이 흡연율이 높았고 50대에서 일반가구 3.9%, 저 소득가구 10.5%로 가장 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 음주율 특성을 보면 일반가구에서 음주율은 오히려 높게 나타났는데, 일반가구는 전혀 안마신다는 비율이 36.7%, 저 소득가구는 58.4%였다. 흡연과 고위험 음주문제 모두에서 성별, 연령과 교육수준, 소득계층 등의 인구사회학적 변수가 유의한 영향요인인 것으로 분석되었다. 남성, 이십대 및 삼십대 연령층, 고졸이하의 학력, 저소득 가구일수록 건강위험요인의 정도가 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 전반적으로는 여성의 건강이 더 안 좋다. 저소득층 여성의 흡연율은 일반가구 여성의 흡연 율보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 저소득층일수록 건강위험행동을 경험하고, 더 많은 의료서비스 경험이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 보건소 이용경험은 저소득층은 4.6%, 일반계층은 1% 정도였다. 2005년도의 건강영양조사결과에서도 건강수준이나 활동제한의 정도가 각 연령별로 분석해도 저소득층일수록 더 안 좋은 상태인 것으로 나타난 바 있다. 본 연구에서 흡연과 음주와 관련된 심리적 요인과 소득수준의 요인이 유의한 영향력이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 건강위험행동과 관련하여 개인의 심리적 요인에 대하여 향후 심층적인 연구를 할 필요가 있다. 사회경제적 어려움으로 인하여 개인이 경험하는 우울과 같은 심리적 요인이 건강위험행동을 지속하게 하는 요인이 될 수 있기 때문이다.
