본 논문은 OECD 주요 선진국의 출산율 및 가족복지정책의 변화와 특성을 검토해 보고, 가족복지 유형별 출산율을 비교 분석해 본 후, 한국의 가족복지정책 마련에 도움이 될 수 있는 시사점을 탐색해 보았다. OECD 주요 선진국의 출산율은 1970년대에 인구대체수준 이하로 떨어졌으며, 그 이후에도 완만하게 출산율이 감소했으나, 1990년대에는 출산율이 낮아지는 국가들과 높아지는 국가들로 나누어진다. 이러한 출산율 변화 차이는 1970년대 이후 각국이 채택 추진한 가족복지정책과 상당한 관계를 갖고 있음을 암시해 주고 있다. 주요 선진국들은 1970년대 이후 출산율 감소에 관심을 갖고 인구관련 문제를 종합적으로 다루기 위해 범정부차원의 인구관련기관을 설립했으며, 가족복지 지원수준을 높여왔다. 그러나 각국의 가족복지 지원수준과 지원형태(노동중심 또는 양육중심)는 해당국가의 정치적 이념, 문화 역사적 배경, 경제환경 등에 따라 다르게 발전되어 왔다. OECD 주요 국가들의 가족복지정책을 유사한 특성을 가진 국가군으로 유형화하여 유형별 출산율을 비교해 본 결과, 가족복지 지원수준이 높을수록, 양육중심에 비해 노동중심 지원수준 비중이 높을수록 출산율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 유형별 출산율 변화를 비교해 본 결과에서도 가족복지 지원수준이 높을수록, 양육중심에 비해 노동중심 지원수준 비중이 높을수록 출산율이 증가하거나 출산율 감소가 완화되는 것으로 나타났다. 주요 선진국의 출산율과 가족복지정책 분석을 통해 얻을 수 있는 시사점으로는, 첫째 출산율 및 인구관련 문제를 체계적으로 연구하여 종합적인 대안을 제공해 줄 수 있는 범정부차원의 인구관련기관을 설립할 필요가 있으며, 둘째 가족수당 신설, 출산휴가와 육아휴직의 기간 연장 및 육아휴직급여의 상향조정, 공보육시설 확대 등 가족지원체계를 확대해야 하고, 셋째 양육중심(가족수당 등) 지원수준 보다 노동중심(아동보육시설, 출산휴가 등) 지원수준에 비중을 많이 둘 필요가 있고, 넷째 사회구성원, 특히 청년층에게 자녀를 기르는 것이 어렵지 않으며 행복을 가져다준다는 희망을 갖도록 하는 사회환경을 조성할 필요가 있다.

This paper introduces a politico-economic model with a welfare state and immigration. In this model, policies on taxes and immigration are determined through a plurality voting system. While many studies of fiscal implications of immigration argue that relaxing immigration policies can substitute for tax reforms in an aging economy, I show that the democratic voting procedure can dampen the effect of relaxing immigration policies as desired policy reforms are not always implemented by the winner of an election. This political economy results in three types of social welfare losses. First, the skill composition is not balanced at a socially efficient level because workers are motivated to maximize their wages. Second, older retirees implement excessive taxes to maximize the size of the welfare state. Third, the volume of immigration is lower than the optimal level given the incentive by young workers to regain political power in the future.

At this point in time South Korea is rapidly metastasizing to a aging society. A major cause of aging can be summarized as increased life expectancy, decrease of nuclear family and birthrate, and South Korea's progress is faster than any other country. From the 1970s, western society has changed social welfare to deinstitutionalization and community care because of problems about economic reason and facilities protection, so the type of elderly social service has also changed from the facility welfare service which is accommodated old people in certain facility to community welfare service which provides various welfare services with living together. Public facilities for low income group which are supported by government are lower, 6.6%, than the United States or Japan, 50%. They are divided into private manage facilities and subscription elderly facilities. These subscription elderly residential facilities show poor administration because of focusing on development and market analysis for investment returns. Therefore, in order to vitalize the elderly welfare residential facilities in Korea, we need plans about systematic services facilities for welfare and phased medical treatments. Therefore, the purpose of this study is that (1) the types and functions of residents for community elderly residential facilities in elderly welfare policies of U.S., and supported policies are researched as a transcendental model, (2) data about operating system with the principles of the market is analyzed, and (3) basic data about welfare facility plan for community residential elderly people is provided.

This paper, focusing on the renewable portfolio standard (RPS), evaluates alternative renewable energy policies. We propose a tractable equilibrium model which provides a structural representation of Korea's electricity market, including its energy settlement system and renewable energy certificate (REC) transactions. Arbitrage conditions are used to define the core value of REC prices to identify relevant competitive equilibrium conditions. The model considers R&D investments and learning effects that may affect the development of renewable energy technologies. The model is parameterized to represent the baseline scenario under the currently scheduled RPS reinforcement for a 20% share of renewable generation, and then simulated for alternative scenarios. The result shows that the reinforcement of the RPS leads to higher welfare compared to weakening it as well as repealing it, though there remains room to enhance welfare. It turns out that subsidies are welfare-inferior to the RPS due to financial burdens and that reducing nuclear power generation from the baseline yields lower welfare by worsening environmental externalities.

The purpose of the present study is to seek measures to increase the quality of farmers lives by considering the results of a survey on the welfare demand for them when setting up policy. The results are as follows: First, though many concerns and policies to control the rural exodus have been exerted in terms of maintaining agricultural communities, which is one of critical components for the development of Korean agriculture and farming villages, the rural exodus became more and more serious. It is urgently required, therefore, for the Korean administration to correspond actively to the reasons why farmers depart their villages, such as bad prospects, low incomes or problems with their children's education. Second, as the number of females who take part in farming has increased, it is necessary to reform the rural educational environment. In addition, as the agricultural community develops, and other industries flow in, the greater the worries about crime, and consequently, it is necessary to equip a local safety system, share information on job opportunities, and provide educational opportunities. Third, since rural districts nay have financial difficulties because of old-aged and small-sized farmhouse, it is necessary to mainly support the welfare of the aged and lower-income farmers, considering the characteristics of each group and area. Fourth, over half of the farmers responded that they cannot bear to pay the national pension and health insurance premiums, and therefore it should be considered to reduce the pension and premium, or to readjust the insurance value appropriate to the level of the farmer's income. Fifth, despite a number of agricultural policies now in place, farmers desire a policy which can promise a prosperous vision for Korean agriculture and the facilities needed for education and health. It is necessary for the administration to set up policies that are characterized by locality with the view that farmers are not mere recipients, but participants in the policies.

이 연구의 목적은 2013년 전국 대학생 865명 대상의 설문조사를 이용하여, 고령화, 저성장 경제에 직면한 대학생의 노인세대에 대한 인식을 밝히는 것이다. 분석결과, 대학생들은 노인세대와의 관계를 심각한 갈등관계로 인식하지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생들은 노인의 가족돌봄, 경제성장 기여에 대해 긍정적으로 인식하였다. 그러나 세대간 재분배를 둘러싼 구체적인 정책에서는 청년세대와 노인세대 간의 갈등이 발생할 가능성을 인식하고 있었다. 회귀분석 결과, 진보적일수록 노인의 기여를 긍정적으로 평가하고, 노인복지에 대한 정부책임을 확대해야 한다고 인식하였다. 정치관심이 많을수록 노인의 기여를 긍정적으로 인식하고, 노인복지 재정문제가 심각해질 것이라고 인식한 반면, 세대갈등 가능성은 낮을 것이라고 인식하였다. 대출금액, 용돈금액, 전공계열, 취업준비여부도 노인세대에 대한 인식과 일부 관련을 맺었다. 이 연구에서는 대학생의 노인세대에 대한 이해와 노인세대와의 협력을 증진하기 위한 방안을 제안하였다.

Although economic crisis is allaying in Korea, the more effective unempoyment policies are requried in this present. So in this paper, we analyze the effects of relevant factors, especially job search behaviors of the unempyoed on reemployment and look for implications to the improvement of unemployment policies. Major findings are as follows: First, we find that job search behaviors, especially the effectiveness of job search activity and job search attitude are significantly different between the unemployed and the re-employed. Second, we find that the variables of job search behaviors - the effectiveness of job search activity (number of job offers), job search attitude (reservation wage), positive use of job search methods - significantly affect the re-employment of the unemployed from logistic regression analysis results. These findings' implications are as follows: First, the approach based on search theory may be useful in finding out determinants of re-employment. Second, the effects of job search behaviors on the reemployment and their implications should be actively accepted to policy makers in order to improve the effectiveness of un-employment policies. It meams that the effects of job search behaviors must be carefully considered in making or restructuring unemployment policies and their administrations.

This study aims to investigate the implementation of village fund (VF) policy in Indonesia by addressing the following issues: (1) what is the VF policy; (2) factors that support and hinder policy implementation; (3) impact of policy implementation; and (4) model for implementing village fund policies that can improve community welfare. Through a descriptive qualitative-based approach, several indicators are measured, namely, the substance of implementing rules, the results of project implementation, supporting and inhibiting factors for policies, participation factors, and the impact generated by village fund policies, which include social and economic effects. The extraction of this information and indicators will lead this study to produce ideal models and propositions for quantitative confirmatory research as a future research agenda. This study was conducted in two villages (Mojomulyo and Tambakromo) in Pati District, Central Java, Indonesia. Data collection model using interviews and observations from all actors who play a role (e.g., village government, village supervisory agency, and community). The study results show that policies have been implemented by normative rules; there are several supporting and inhibiting factors both internal and external. The study results also confirm the relevance of the articulated theory and some comprehensive input to our study.
