Unveiling the Complexity of Chinese Nonengaged Youths' Career‐Related Competencies Through Latent Class Analysis: Examining Their Profiles, Mental Health, and Social Well‐Being
BACKGROUND: Career-related competencies (CLCs) are essential for nonengaged youths (NEYs) to achieve a successful school-to-work transition. However, there is limited research identifying the characteristics of distinct subgroups based on CLCs. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to classify patterns of NEYs based on CLCs and to examine differences in demographic characteristics, mental health (i.e., depression and anxiety), and social well-being (i.e., …

Pathways from school to work: A sequence analysis of non‐engaged youth
INTRODUCTION: Research on heterogeneous pathways in school-to-work transitions (SWT), particularly longitudinal research, has been limited, as have empirical studies examining effective interventions for facilitating multiple SWT pathways among non-engaged youth (NEY), who are generally at risk of being not in education, employment, or training (NEET). METHODS: To develop a typology of SWT pathways, we conducted sequence analysis with longitudina…

An exploratory study of basic income fidelity index
There is growing interest in adopting basic income as a new social protection policy in many countries. South Korea is no exception. There have been heated discussions on the benefits and costs of adopting basic income as a universal income support program among policy makers and academics in South Korea. However, one of the problems in the discourse of basic income discussion in South Korea has been a lack of clear definition of basic income. In…

Factors influencing resubstantiation of child neglect in South Korea: A comparison with other maltreatment cases
While a high prevalence of child neglect cases has been reported by Child Protective Services (CPS) in Western countries, child neglect cases reported to South Korea's Child Protection Agency (CPA) present different trends than those in Western countries. Nevertheless, child neglect is an understudied area within child welfare. Thus, a need exists to investigate the unique characteristics of child neglect cases substantiated by the CPA in Korea. …
Inequality, material well-being, and subjective well-being: Exploring associations for children across 15 diverse countries
Recurrence of child maltreatment substantiation: Findings from the administrative data of South Korea’s National Child Protection Agency
The recurrence of child maltreatment substantiation among families served by South Korea’s Child Protection Agency has yet to be thoroughly investigated. This study explores the recurrence of child maltreatment substantiation and related risk factors using the administrative data from the National Child Protection Agency (NCPA) . Multilevel discrete time-hazard analysis is employed. We found that the risk of recurrence is greatest during the firs…

Risk factors of Neet (Not in Employment, Education or Training) in South Korea: An empirical study using panel data
This study aims to analyse the risk factors for being in NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) in South Korea. More specifically, this study examines how individual and family characteristics at ages 16–17 affect the probability of being in NEET during 20–25 years old period using data from the Youth Panel Study. The analysis results reveal that the rate of NEET among poor youth is about four times higher than that of high-income group …

Poverty, income inequality and externalised problem behaviours of children: An empirical study in Korea
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the effects of neighbourhood poverty and income inequality on children's externalised problem behaviours in Korea. For the analysis, we used the National Survey of Children and Youth data and employed a multilevel analysis method. The results show that income inequality level of a community is a significant factor in increasing children's externalised problem behaviours. When controlled for income i…

The effects of adoption disclosure on the adaptation of Korean adoptive families
The main goal of this study is to examine the effects of adoption disclosure on the adaptation of Korean adoptive families using a two stage equation model. The results of this study indicate that there is a self-selection bias between disclosed and closed adoptive families. Yet, even after considering this selection bias, adoption disclosure was associated with the positive outcomes of adoptive families. Also, the estimates in the treatment effe…
Causes and consequences of childhood poverty in Korea: A panel data analysis
This study examines the causes and effects of childhood poverty in Korea using longitudinal data from the Seoul Child Panel Study. In the study, we find that not living with two parents or full-time employed parents are significant risk factors for child poverty in Korea. We also find that poverty is a risk factor lowering children's school achievement, and that family process factors such as family relation and parental monitoring are strongly r…

Effects of WIC and Food Stamp Program participation on child outcomes
Do Welfare Sanctions Increase Child Protection System Involvement? A Cautious Answer
This study assesses the relationship between various types of welfare grant reductions and subsequent child maltreatment reports in a sample ($$N=1,260$$) of recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Results show that receipt of TANF sanctions increases the rate of having an investigation for neglect but does not bear a statistically significant relation to having an indicated report of neglect or abuse. Receipt of other types…
Adoption in Korea: Current status and future prospects
This article examines the current status of adoption in Korea and discusses the issues that must be addressed for future development. The nature of adoption has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, and continues to change in Korea. If the first half of modern adoption history were about finding and providing permanent homes for war orphans and children abandoned out of destitution, the second half saw increasing demand for adoption to funct…

Are Welfare Sanctions Working as Intended? Welfare Receipt, Work Activity, and Material Hardship among Tanf‐Recipient Families
This analysis utilizes longitudinal survey and administrative data on 1998 welfare recipients in Illinois to assess whether different types of grant reductions are associated with subsequent work, welfare receipt, and hardships. Results show that imposed sanctions are inversely associated with formal work and earnings, as well as with increases in informal work, other work activities, and food hardships. Threats to sanction are unassociated with …

Child protective intervention in the context of welfare reform: The effects of work and welfare on maltreatment reports
Recent changes in welfare policy have produced changes in parental work and welfare receipt. These factors are assessed in relation to investigated reports of child abuse and neglect using survey data on 1998 welfare recipients in nine Illinois counties, in conjunction with longitudinal administrative data on cash welfare benefits, employment, and child abuse and neglect reports. Trend analyses show that rates of child maltreatment reports among …
