However, research on such processes remains scarce. This study adopted a person-centered approach to examine how different parental mediation patterns influence rural children's digital resilience (DR), considering children's responses as key mechanisms shaping this relationship. Using survey data from 713 rural children in China, latent profile analysis identified four parental mediation patterns: communicative regulators, rule-setters, tech-monitors, and intensive engagers. Rule-setters emerged as the most prevalent pattern, yet communicative regulators and intensive engagers were more effective in fostering children's DR. These patterns promoted resilience primarily through enhanced child-initiated communication, whereas tech-monitors heightened children's resistance, thereby undermining resilience. The findings clarify how parental strategies translate into children's DR in rural contexts and contribute to children's protection in the digital era.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146135751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With their expansion, benefit adequacy approached the average of developed countries, considerably mitigating Korea's poverty rate. However, old-age, female householders, and single households continue to face the threat of severe poverty. This study examines the extent to which MIS supports vulnerable groups using the Korean Welfare Panel Study between 2019 and 2023, including the COVID-19 pandemic. The National Basic Livelihood Security (NBLS) and Basic Pension schemes were analysed separately as major minimum income benefits. The main results indicate that MIS provides limited coverage, benefits, and contributions to the poverty rate. During the pandemic, MIS played a limited role, as the Korean government introduced its first universal benefits rather than adjusting the current MIS. Among the three groups, female householders benefited more from the NBLS, and old-age received more from the Basic Pension. However, single households secured limited support because the equivalence scale of the NBLS provided more assistance to larger families. Therefore, the Korean government needs to provide more inclusive schemes and improve institutional designs to mitigate poverty among vulnerable groups.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146083358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the relationship between rural subsistence allowances (rural dibao) and citizens' perceptions of local government performance, examining changes following the implementation of Targeted Poverty Alleviation policies. Using China Social Survey data in 2013 and 2017, two-level mixed models reveal that before these policies, rural individuals living in poverty, whether receiving dibao or not, showed no significant differences in their perceptions of government performance. After implementation, however, dibao recipients reported significantly improved views on economic development and employment, especially among working-age groups, and heightened perceptions of fairness in political rights. This study underscores the importance of subjective perceptions in poverty governance and demonstrates the transformative potential of integrated policy approaches in enhancing governance outcomes in rural areas.","PeriodicalId":47567,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Welfare","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146099211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
