 The outcomes of foster care in South Korea ten years after its foundation: A comparison with institutional careHyunah Kang, Ick-Joong Chung, JongSerl Chun, Choong Rai Nho and Seokjin Woo Children and Youth Services Review, 2014, vol. 39, issue C, 135-143 Abstract: This study is one of the first longitudinal investigations of outcomes from different types of out-of-home foster care services in Korea. The main purpose of the study is to compare foster care with institutional care by focusing on two concerns: (1) children's perception of the caregiving services and (2) developmental outcomes of such services. Study participants included 342 children in institutional and foster care in Korea, all of whom participated in both the first and the second wave surveys for the Panel Study on Korean Children in Out-of Home-Care. The first-wave survey was conducted in 2010; the second wave survey was conducted in 2011. The data were analyzed using the Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE), the Chi-square test, ANOVA, and descriptive data analysis.
