The purpose of this study was to examine the mutual mediating effect of satisfaction with family life in the relationship between a couple's perception of gender equality and happiness, using the couple as the unit of analysis and analyzing it by considering the actor and partner effects of each variable. Partner Interdepence Model extended to Mediation was applied. 3,190 people (1,595 couples) from the 21st year of the Korean National Happiness Survey conducted by the National Assembly Future Institute were used in the analysis. As a result of the analysis, in the relationship between the husband and wife's perception of gender equality, happiness, and satisfaction with family life, both husband and wife found that the perception of gender equality had a significant effect on satisfaction with family life in the actor effect, and that satisfaction with family life had a significant effect on happiness. It was confirmed that this was a factor. However, there was a gender difference between couples in the partner effect. For the wife, both perception of gender equality and satisfaction with family life had a significant impact on the husband's happiness, while for the husband, there was no significant partner effect. In the relationship between husband and wife's perception of gender equality and happiness, it was confirmed that the full mediating effect of family life satisfaction appeared for both husband and wife. Regarding the partner effect, the wife's perception of gender equality had a significant effect on the husband's happiness, but in the case of the husband, there was no statistically significant partner mediating effect.

This study is a critical study of political neutralism with a focus on social welfare in Korea. Korean social welfare, like civil servants and teachers, takes a political neutralist stance. Political neutralism actually means uncritical acceptance of the regime's position and has a tendency to depoliticize it. In this context, Korean social welfare follows the position of residualism, and social welfare is practiced by providing services based on sympathy and charity. The purpose of this paper is to criticize Korea's social welfare from a political neutralist standpoint and seek alternatives to overcome it. To this end, this paper focuses on Freire's theory and seeks to develop discussions based on it. Freire criticized political neutralism as the logic of the oppressor, perpetuating an unjust order of inequality and class conflict, and subjecting citizens to a culture of silence and horizontal violence. In particular, social welfare was seen as a fictional tolerance and a strategy of the oppressor. This paper analyzed Freire's criticism by applying it to Korea's social welfare stance, that is, political neutralism and residualism. This paper proposed transforming social welfare into class politics toward institutionalism based on social rights and presented the content and direction of civic education.

The purpose of this study was to present a discussion point for social welfare practice for efforts to resolve discrimination that can further supplement the legal provisions of indirect discrimination in the Disability Discrimination Act by embodying the meaning of indirect discrimination perceived by the disabled. To this end, data on the experiences of indirect discrimination experienced by them were collected through general qualitative research methods tageting 6 people with physical disabilities and brain lesions. data collection and analysis were conducted for about 90 minutes per 2 sessions of each study participant, and the collected data were transcribed and analyzed on units of meaning. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the areas of indirect discrimination experienced by the disabled are experienced under five themes: ‘one-sidedness of non-disabled support personnel', ‘doubleness caused by mandatory employment', ‘discrimination in employment relationships', ‘discrimination in schools', and ‘the problem of insufficiency of provided convenience facilities'. Based on the results of this analysis, several suggestions were presented.

This study proposes the implementation of a comprehensive social policy system in Germany that safeguards women's reproductive rights and children's rights to birth. This system comprises a birth notification system, a protected birth system, a pregnancy conflict counseling system, and related service delivery mechanisms. A comparative case study was conducted to explain the support social services and family policy system for women in pregnancy conflict situations, focusing on a pregnancy conflict counseling center in Germany. Following the revision of the Criminal Law in 1992, the German government began to partially legalize abortion and introduce pregnancy conflict counseling centers. This research found that the German government has supported women in pregnancy conflict situations through child-centered cash benefits and family policy programs aimed at promoting work-life balance. Our research underscores the need to establish a social service delivery system that acknowledges women as the primary stakeholders in childbirth. Additionally, this study proposes revisions to laws related to abortion penalties and the establishment of a comprehensive family policy system.

This paper examines Agamben’s conception of ‘Stasis’(civil war) as a fundamental element of politics, placing it in the context of the state of exception. It explores how Agamben strives to connect with the inoperative community through the concept of civil war. In this analysis, it becomes evident that the concept of civil war can be understood as a crucial component of contemporary politics without endorsing real-life civil conflicts, terrorism, or violence. Civil war functions metaphorically as a tool for the sovereign to declare a state of exception, granting the power to perpetually maintain such a status. However, this declaration is always aimed at creating an operative community, reminiscent of the ideal envisioned by Nazism: a unified People overcoming internal divisions. Conversely, viewing civil war as a foundational element of politics leads us to consider an inoperative community─a community in constant division, lacking a fixed identity, akin to the refugee communities described by Arendt. This paper asserts that Agamben’s exploration of new communities encourages contemplation of civil war as a fundamental element, devoid of the endorsement of actualized violence.

This study investigates the Age-Friendly Environment(AFE) factors influencing the Aging in Place Intention(AIPI) by age group: young-old, old-old, and oldest-old. Also, it examines the level of AIPI and AFE differences between age groups. The study uses data from the 2020 Korea Older Adults Survey of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and analyses 5,977 young-old, 3,333 old-old, and 610 oldest-old cases. The main results are as follows: First, choosing to live in the home(community) proportion is 63.3% in young-old, 61.4% in old-old, and 59.0% in oldest-old. Second, the AFE factors score shows the highest in the young-old group, followed by old-old and oldest-old. Third, the AFE factors influencing AIPI show different results in age groups. In the young-old group, AFE ‘housing,’ ‘civic participation,’ ‘perception of social service,’ and ‘need of social service’ factors significantly affect AIPI. In the old-old group, AFE factors of ‘safety,’ ‘housing,’ ‘leisure activity,’ ‘social relationship,’ and ‘communication and information’ influence AIPI. In the oldest-old, only the ‘housing’ AFE factor affects the AIPI. Based on the results, the study highlights that most older adults prefer to stay in their homes and community during their later life. And it discusses the policy and practice for supporting the AIP in each age group by improving the age-friendly environment.

The purpose of this study is to explore the internal factors that contribute to suicidal ideation in alcoholics. To fulfill the purpose of the study, cases of alcoholics with suicidal thoughts and attempts were collected. The cases were extracted from memoirs published by A.A. Korea, and a total of 23 cases with specific experiences related to alcoholism and suicide were selected. The collected data was analyzed using a qualitative case study method. The analysis showed that alcoholics experienced health problems, economic problems, and relationship problems due to their drinking, which led to internal distress such as loneliness, pessimism about their health, lethargy about alcohol, self-blame, others' blame, and self-pity. The end result of this internal distress is loss of hope (despair). The alcoholics' expressions of hopelessness included contents of suicide. Based on these findings, the researchers suggest several practice and policy implications.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of smartphone overdependence on the effects of companion animal interactions on adolescents’ social withdrawal. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted among junior high school and high school students aged 14~18 years through an online research company from February 16 to February 27, 2023, consisting of a total of 375 data were used for analysis. The mediating effects were analyzed using a structural equation model, and the statistical significance of the mediating effect was verified by applying the bootstrapping method. The main findings of the research are as follows. First, the companion animal interaction showed a statistically significant direct effect on adolescents’ smartphone overdependence and social withdrawal. Second, the companion animal interaction had a statistically significant direct effect on social withdrawal by mediating smartphone overdependence. In this process, a partial mediating effect was confirmed. Third, smartphone overdependence showed a statistically significant direct effect on social withdrawal. This study confirmed that interaction with companion animals is a factor that affects adolescents’ smartphone overdependence and social withdrawal. Based on these results, intervention plans to prevent adolescents’ smartphone overdependence and social withdrawal were discussed.

Level of Life Satisfaction anGiven the nature of health conditions it seems so obvious at a first glance that one’s health status activities should contribute to his/her life satisfaction. Indeed, recent research has found positive effects of health status on objective or subjective life satisfaction. This study focused on analyzing the association between physical and mental health of the elderly and their life satisfaction based on the longitudinal data. This analysis uses data from eight waves of the 1st to 8th Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS), a large, randomly sampled longitudinal study of older adults (aged 50 and over across the observation period). The results indicate that disabilities and both physical and mental health variables contribute positively to life satisfaction. Social and economic policies can possibly reduce the difficulties are important interventions that can support successful aging. d Health Status in the Older People: Using the Korean Retirement and Income Study (KReIS)

This study examines the influence of fairness perception among young adults aged 20 to 30 on their sense of relative deprivation, and investigate whether the mediating role of gender equality in the relationship between perceived fairness and relative deprivation varies according to gender. To fulfill these research objectives, an online survey was administered to a sample of 306 young adults. The findings suggested that while perceived fairness significantly influences relative deprivation across the entire young adult group. Moreover, the group's gender equality was found not to have a statistically significant impact on relative deprivation, indicating it does not serve as a mediator between perceived fairness and relative deprivation. Interestingly, for the male subset, although perceived fairness did not affect relative deprivation, The gender equality of young males mediated the relationship between perceived fairness and relative deprivation. In contrast, within the female subset, while perceived fairness significantly impacted relative deprivation, it did not influence gender equality consciousness. The gender equality of young females does not mediate the relationship between perceived fairness and relative deprivation. In light of these results, The study suggested social welfare strategies to address gender-based polarization within young generations.
