    This study aims to examine the association between single parents' pandemic‐induced job loss (PIJL) and parenting difficulties (PD) in Korea, with particular attention to investigating the moderated mediating effect of parental depression by child gender. A nationally representative sample of 2550 single parents with adolescent children were used for data analyses. The results showed that single parents' PIJL was positively associated with PD, an…

    Open AccessRaehyuck Lee, Jaeseung Kim et al.ARTICLEAsian Social Work and Policy Review2023References: 12

    The current study examines the associations between employment status and mental health and the mediating role of material hardship among low‐income households in South Korea. This study uses regression models with a rich set of control variables and lagged dependent variable models with a nationally representative sample of 1113 low‐income working‐age household heads from the Korean Welfare Panel Study (KOWEPS).

  • Material hardship and self-rated health among low-income households in South Korea

    Jaeseung Kim, Raehyuck Lee et al.ARTICLEAsia Pacific Journal of Social…2018Cited by: 1References: 8

    Concerns over poverty and health inequality are growing in South Korea. Using advanced statistical methods including lagged-dependent variable and fixed-effects approaches, we investigated whether experiencing material hardship (MH) was associated with self-rated health (SRH) among low-income households in South Korea. This study found that the experience of MH was positively associated with higher likelihood of reporting poor SRH (OR = 1.42, p <…

    We examined the associations between preschool attendance and academic school readiness at kindergarten entry among 5-year-old children of immigrant mothers in the United States using data from a US nationally representative sample (Early Childhood Longitudinal Study—Birth Cohort, N = 1650). Comparing children who were in preschool (Head Start, prekindergarten, or other center-based preschool) to children being cared for exclusively at home, anal…

  • Hard Times and Harder Minds: Material Hardship and Marital Well-Being Among Low-Income Families in South Korea

    Open AccessJoyce Shim, Raehyuck Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Issues2017Cited by: 3References: 39

    Experiencing material hardship may bring various negative consequences for married couples and family members. However, little is known about this topic in Korea. Using a nationally representative sample from the Korean Welfare Panel Study, we examined how material hardship was associated with marital well-being among low-income families in Korea, separately for husbands (i.e., male household heads) and wives. Overall, we found experiencing any m…

  • Socioeconomic Gaps in Early Childhood Experiences: 1998 To 2010

    Open AccessDaphna Bassok, Jenna E Finch et al.ARTICLEAERA Open2016

    This study compares the early life experiences of kindergarteners in 1998 and 2010 using two nationally representative data sets. We find that (a) young children in the later period are exposed to more books and reading in the home, (b) they have more access to educational games on computers, and (c) they engage with their parents more, inside and outside the home. Although these increases occurred among low- and high-income children, in many cas…

  • Preschool and Academic School Readiness Among Young Children of Asian and Hispanic Immigrant Mothers

    Raehyuck LeeARTICLEJournal of Social Service Research2016References: 32

    Preschool is an important developmental context for children of immigrants that can help them succeed in later life. In this study, we examine the association between preschool and academic school readiness among young children of Asian or Hispanic immigrant mothers. A secondary data analysis was conducted using data (n ≈ 1,550) collected in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort. Results show that attending preschool (mostly prekind…

  • Material hardship and depression among low‐income households in S outh K orea: Differences by household type

    Open AccessJaeseung Kim, Joyce Shim et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Social…2015Cited by: 6References: 5

    With the recent trend of growing poverty in S outh K orea, low‐income households, particularly elderly‐ and single‐headed households, are at high risk of experiencing material hardship and depression. However, less is known about the association between material hardship and depression by household type in K orea. Using data ( N = 2,913) from the K orean Welfare Panel Study and employing several methodological approaches to address the omitted va…

  • Fathers' Leave and Fathers' Involvement: Evidence from Four OECD Countries

    Open AccessMaría Del Carmen Huerta, Willem Adema et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social Security2014Cited by: 32References: 9

    In recent years, several OECD countries have taken steps to promote policies encouraging fathers to spend more time caring for young children, thereby promoting a more gender equal division of care work. Evidence, mainly for the United States and United Kingdom, has shown fathers taking some time off work around childbirth are more likely to be involved in childcare related activities than fathers who do not take time off. This paper conducts a f…
