아동의 부양에 대한 재검토

Abstract

Children have not been matured yet physically and mentally, thus more positive supports are required than any other dependents so as to guarantee their rights to live and make them lead human life. Nonetheless, the issue on the child support has been distorted such like having to be done by parents wholly because it is a part of being solved between parents and children essentially. This attitude is causing results called ‘noninterference’ only rather than becoming solutions on the issue of the child support by being unable to be coincided with fast social developments. According to this, neglected children became to be grown up as members of the society who could not adapt themselves, and thus are becoming the core of social problems such as all kinds of crimes. As the child support is to bring up members of the society and is a very important thing for cultivating the future of a certain society, aggressive measures are required accordingly. Though our country has been endeavoring to elevate child’s rights by participating in UN Convention on the Rights of Child, children in Korea have not been recognized as the subject of rights yet, and also recognitions such like the nation and society have to positively protect and culture all children are very insufficient in addition to parents. Therefore, in order to make children become the subject of rights, and to practice aggressive supports on children after aiming it, researches of making standards on support’s degrees and methods suggested through juridical arrangements have to be made first, and then methods of ensuring implementations of child-support burdens shall be studied connectedly. In accordance with it, this study established the definition on the child support, and also proposed standards on support degrees and methods by considering children’s characteristics as dependents together with social requirements.
