The purpose of this study was to estimate the minimum monthly food cost for the low income population. The food consumption data of 9,311 individuals from the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey was used. The monthly food cost was calculated using the Consumer Food Price Database for the year 2001 provided by the Public Health Nutrition Laboratory, Seoul National University. The low income population (n = 1,310) was characterized as older age, lower income, smaller family size, lower education level, and lower energy intake as compared with the total population (n = 8,001). The estimated food cost showed that men in the low income population needed 15% more money for purchasing food to maintain the energy intake level at the average energy intake level of men in the total population. It was also estimated that women in the low income population needed 9% more money for purchasing food to maintain the energy intake level at the average energy intake level of women in the total population. There were differences in monthly food costs depending on the sex and age, and family size. The results of this study could be used as basic information to establish minimum food cost for the low income population in Korea.

We examined the effects of family and home literacy environments on the vocabulary and reading abilities of 3 to 5-year-olds. In particular, SES was considered against home literacy environment. The sample consisted of 366 Korean children and their mothers. We found that the level of mother's education was related to the child's vocabulary test score. After controlling for family factors, home literacy environment score positively predicted children's performance both in vocabulary and reading tests. Magnitudes of differences between the two literacy groups (high and low home literacy environment) became larger in the children from relative lower income families. Magnitudes of differences for vocabulary and reading tests was strikingly large in the low-income group both in vocabulary and reading tests. These findings shed lights on the importance of parent education and family services for low-income families with preschool children.

The results of this study were as follows. First financial status of aged households specially annual total income annual current income earned income and annual total expenditure were lower than those of non-aged households. Second Gini-coefficients of aged households' income and expenditure were greater than expenditure of them.

본 연구는 저소득 가정의 조기개입 프로그램 참여 유무에 따른 영유아의 발달과 양육자인 부모의 양육스트레스의 차이를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 대상은 저소득 가정의 만 0세부터 만 5세까지의 영유아와 그 부모이며 현재 조기개입 프로그램인 드림스타트 프로그램에 참여하고 있는 영유아와 참여하지 않는 영유아 그리고 그 부모를 대상으로 하였다. 연구도구로 영유아의 발달을 측정하기 위하여 K-ASQ 검사를 실시하였고, 양육자의 양육스트레스 차이를 측정하기 위하여 Parenting Stress Index/Short Form을 사용하였다. 연구결과는 첫째, 조기개입 프로그램의 참여유무에 따라 저소득가정 영유아의 발달에 차이가 있었다. 특히 조기개입 프로그램에 참여한 영아가 참여하지 않은 영아보다 대근육 운동, 소근육 운동, 문제해결, 의사소통, 개인-사회성 등에서 발달수준이 더 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 조기개입 프로그램에 참여한 저소득 가정의 부모가 참여하지 않은 부모보다 양육스트레스 정도가 더 낮게 나타났다. 이는 저소득 가정의 아동과 부모를 위한 조기개입 프로그램이 영아의 발달을 촉진하고 부모의 양육스트레스를 감소시키는 긍정적인 역할을 하고 있음을 보여주는 결과이다. 결과적으로 조기개입 프로그램은 저소득 가정의 아동 뿐 아니라 그 부모를 대상으로 함께 개입하고 지원해야 하며, 보다 많은 저소득 가정의 영유아 및 가족들이 참여할 수 있도록 대상자 발굴이 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다.

본 연구는 소외계층 영재의 인지적 특성인 지능과 정의적 특성인 자아존중감, 수학적 태도 그리고 과학적 태도 등이 어떠한가, 그리고 이들 변인간의 관계가 어떠한지를 알아보기 위한 것으로써 대학 영재교육원에 다니는 소외계층의 초등 저학년 147명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 연구 결과 소외계층 영재의 지능은 백분위 85점 수준, 자아존중감 75.6%, 수학적 태도 73.3%, 과학적 태도 71.3% 등의 수준으로 자아존중감이 가장 높게 나타났다. 한편 지능의 수준별 자아존중감, 수학적 태도 및 과학적 태도의 차이는 없었으며, 지능과 자아존중감과 수학적 과학적 태도간의 관계는 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 자아존중감과 수학적 태도(r=.448, p=.000), 과학적 태도(r=.522, p=.000) 그리고 수학적 태도와 과학적 태도(r=.458, p=.000) 간에는 상당히 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 이 같은 결과는 소외계층의 영재아들이 일반 영재아들보다는 낮으나 잠재적인 영재성은 상당히 높고, 정의적인 요인들 간 관계가 높아 이를 계발할 수 있는 교육적 환경의 제공이 일반아들 보다 더욱 필요함을 의미한다고 할 수 있다.

This study compared the financial status between the employed-elderly households and the unemployed-elderly households, focused on income adequacy, expenditure adequacy and net wealth adequacy. Using data from 1997 KHPS, the lower financial status of the unemployed elderly households were found. Nine measures of financial status were used : income, per capita income, income-to-needs ratio, expenditure, per capita expenditure, expenditure-to-needs ratio, net wealth, net wealth-to-income ratio and net wealth- to-expenditure ratio. The results of this study showed that unemployed elderly households had 68%~77% of income adequacy and 72%~83% of expenditure adequacy for employed elderly households. Holding for gender, age, education, earners in the household, living area and home ownership constant, although the gap was getting smaller, significant differences between the unemployed-elderly households and the employed-elderly households were persisted. The result of this study indicated that the unemployed-elderly households and the employed-elderly households can not be regarded ac homogeneous group when public policies are developed.

This study aimed to identify predictors of acculturation types among marriage migrant women at the individual and dominant society levels. To accomplish this goal, we recruited marriage migrant women from China and Vietnam, classified their acculturation types according to their scores on acculturation attitudes, and performed multinomial logistic regression on acculturation types by entering marriage migrant women's individual and dominant society level factors as covariates based on previous research. The results showed that most of the participants were classified under integration(N=376), followed by assimilation(N=66), separation(N=60) and marginalization(N=48). Lower household income, lower sense of mastery, weaker ethnic identity and lower social support predicted assimilation as compared to integration. Less education, higher household income, weaker ethnic identity, lower family satisfaction and lower social support predicted separation as compared to integration. Finally, as compared to integration, marginalization was predicted by lower sense of mastery, lower ethnic identity and lower social support. This study expands the current scholarship on acculturation by examining acculturation as an indicator of the psychosocial adaptation of immigrants and by identifying factors that predict specific acculturation types among marriage migrant women.

Objectives : This study examined the influence of socio-demographic, health-related, and oral health-related characteristics on adolescent DMFTs. Methods : The subjects in this study were 1,129 adolescents selected from the 6th national health and nutrition examination survey data. To determine the factors influencing dental caries, a regression analysis using a complex-sample generalized linear model was conducted after adjusting for confounding factors. Results : DMFTs were smaller among boys than girls, and smaller in the "13-15 age group" than in the "16-18 age group." In terms of household income, DMFTs were larger in the "lower," "lower-middle," and "upper-middle" income brackets than in the "upper" income bracket. DMFTs were smaller among adolescents with a history of smoking than those who had never smoked. Conclusions : In order to improve the oral health of adolescents, oral health-promotion programs should be provided for girls, high school students, students from low-income families, smokers, and those who consider themselves to have poor oral health.

This study examined how much support families with pre-school children receive for child care along with the types of support they receive. The paper also investigated the factors that influence the financial and social support received from government, employers and grandparents of the children. Data for this study were obtained from a questionnaire completed by mothers of pre-school children (n=641) during the spring of 2009. The data were analyzed by the following methods: $\chi^2$, t-test, ANOVA, Logit analysis, and Tobit analysis using SPSS and STATA software. The profile of support for child care showed that approximately 33 percent of families with pre-school children received free or subsidized child care from the government, 12 percent received some forms of support for child care from the parents' employers, and 26 percent received support from grandparents either financially or in the form of free child care. The results of the Logit analysis demonstrated that families with pre-school children were more likely to receive child care subsides from the government when they had a higher number of pre-school children and a lower level of family income. The significant factors that influence support from employers were mother's educational level, the number of pre-school children, and family income. The significant factors that affect support from grandparents of the children were the mother's age, the mother's employment status, the type of residence, and the family type.
