The study analyzed the changes of young people who participated in the asset building program comprehensively using a panel survey data conducted at four different points in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 targeting 720 young people who joined the Youth Hope Savings Account Program in 2018, an asset building program for young people receiving livelihood support. As a result of analyzing a continuous response panel of 384 participants, the study found that over 70%, that is, three in four out of the participants succeeded in welfare exits of livelihood support. Additionally, improvement in employment status and stability, income, savings, living expenses, family support, housing assets, housing environment, self-esteem, and happiness were statistically significant. This indicates that young adults experienced positive changes in economic, employment, social, housing, health, and psychological aspects in the process of asset building participating in the Youth Hope Savings Account Program. Despite the limitation of not being able to control other factors that may have affected changes in young people for three years, such as environmental changes like the COVID-19 pandemic or individual development, this study verified the multidimensional outcomes of the youth asset formation support program by conducting longitudinal analysis of participant changes. Given these results, the study proposes institutional and practical implications.","PeriodicalId":228547,"journal":{"name":"The Center for Social Welfare Research Yonsei University","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135040182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Study on the Impact of Adjusting for Non-cohabiting Household Members on Income Inequality Measurements: Focusing on the Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions","authors":"Seungju Lee","doi":"10.17997/swry.78.1.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17997/swry.78.1.2","url":null,"abstract":"Since 2017, income inequality in South Korea has been measured using the Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions. This survey combines income information gathered through surveys with highly reliable administrative data which include tax data from the National Tax Service and health insurance payment data from the National Health Insurance Service. Based on the Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions, income inequality in South Korea has steadily decreased from 2017 to 2019. However, there are some who contend that income distribution has actually become more unequal during this same period. In light of these differing viewpoints, the purpose of this study is to examine whether the measure of income inequality derived from the Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions accurately portrays the current income inequality situation in South Korea. The technical reports indicate that the survey considers a family of origin to include one-person households who move out for work or study. The issue here is that a relatively high percentage of these one-person households, especially young single adults, tend to have lower incomes and poorer living conditions. Therefore, this study aims to examine how the separation of these young one-person household members who live independently for work or study from their original households impacts the trends in income inequality from 2017 to 2019 as reported in the Survey of Household Finances and Living Conditions. The results reveal that when adjustments are made for one-person households, there are discernible differences in income inequality indices such as the Income quintile share ratio, Gini coefficient, and Palma ratio between the adjusted data and the original data. Further analysis of income inequality trends by age groups suggests that, after adjusting for non-cohabiting household members, the worsening income inequality among young adults in their twenties contributes to the differences observed in income inequality trends from 2017 to 2019 between the original data and the adjusted data.","PeriodicalId":228547,"journal":{"name":"The Center for Social Welfare Research Yonsei University","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135039273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamic relationships between the latent classes of strain and delinquency were analyzed using JTM, and the latent classes of these two components were analyzed using a LCGM based on a person-centered approach. Our findings revealed the existence of five distinct heterogeneous groups for strain and four for delinquency among multicultural adolescents, indicating diverse patterns of strain and delinquency behaviors. The vulnerable groups requiring welfare intervention are particularly noteworthy, constituting 17.8% of the popualtion. These groups are characterized by the following categories: S2 (“Early Low & Increasing” and S3: “Early Moderate & Increasing” in strain) and D2 (“Early Low & High Increasing” in delinquency).

This study used data from 539 households that responded to the Seoul Survey of 2022 to identify factors associated with SSM. The SPSS 26.0 was used to conduct multiple regression analysis (MRA) and multinomial logistic analysis (MLA). According to the MRA, the following factors are associated with SSM: age (β=-.10, p<.05), subjective health status (β=.18, p<.001), subjective residential environment (β=.17, p<.001), loneliness in one’s family (β=.12, p<.01), satisfaction with cultural facilities (β=.16, p<.01), satisfaction with cultural programming (β=-.24, p<.001), and perception of social fairness (β=.23, p<.001). According to the MLA, the following factors were significantly associated with perceived upward social mobility compared to immobility: subjective health status (odds ratio [OR]=1.38, p<.05), white collar (OR=.15, p<.05), subjective residential environment (OR=2.12, p<.05), below 100% of median income (OR=.42, p<.05), loneliness in one’s family (OR=1.44, p<.05), community belongingness (OR=.48, p<.001), and perception of social fairness (OR=11.60, p<.001).

Data from the Study on the Status of Single-Parent Families in 2018 (N=988) was analyzed by SPSS PROCESS macro V.4 model 1. The results show that higher levels of parenting difficulties and temporary employment resulted in higher levels of depressive mood, and there was a moderating effect of employment status. That is, the depression level of employed single mothers who experience parenting difficulties was found to be more serious depending on unstable employment status. Based on the results, the relationship among parenting difficulties, depressive mood and unstable employment status of employed single mothers was discussed.

{"title":"Why is the elderly suicide rate declining? The coverage expansion of major social security programs","authors":"HyoungYong Kim","doi":"10.17997/swry.76.1.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17997/swry.76.1.3","url":null,"abstract":"The elderly suicide rate in South Korea has declined sharply over the past decade. This study inferred that the decrease in the elderly suicide rate is due to the achievement of expanding the coverage of major social security systems rather than demographic changes. Therefore, we analyzed whether the expansion of the service guarantee and income security system had an impact on the elderly suicide rate. The research method is a panel fixed-effects analysis with the dependent variable of the elderly suicide rate from 2011 to 2020 at the county level and the independent variables of the long-term care for the elderly, the national pension (old-age pension), and the basic pension. The results show that all but 12 of the nation's 228 cities and counties experienced a decrease in the elderly suicide rate, and that the expansion of the elderly long-term care coverage over the past decade has contributed significantly to the decrease in the elderly suicide rate. In the model with social security coverage, a one percentage point increase in long-term care coverage was associated with a 2.26 percentage point decrease in the suicide rate, and a one percentage point increase in old-age pension coverage was associated with a 1.35 percentage point decrease in the suicide rate. In the model that included the amount of benefits, the additional amount of old-age pension was statistically significant, with a 1.5 percentage point decrease in the suicide rate for every 100,000 won per capita increase. The results suggest that the challenge of responding to elderly suicides is to strengthen the security of the social security system rather than individual welfare programs in the city and county, and that the main way to do so is to expand the entitlement of the universal social insurance system.","PeriodicalId":228547,"journal":{"name":"The Center for Social Welfare Research Yonsei University","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114112697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
