The purpose of this study is to examine the public attitudes toward childcare policy of Korean people and to analyze the determinants on such attitudes in view of self-interest and subjective perception, value orientations. The analyses take into account three dimensions of public attitudes toward childcare policy - state responsibility(extensity of state responsibility, support for expanding fiscal spending), preference for specific policy direction(free child care, sliding-scale fee policy, additional support for working parents). This study analyzed 1,205 cases of adult aged over 19 surveyed from all over the country in 2014. The main results are as follows. First, Korean people understand that government should be in large part responsible for providing child care services and prefer sliding-scale child care fee policy rather than existing free child care. Second, gender, age cohort, education, employment status, existence of child under six, place of living(self interest factor) affect public attitudes toward of childcare policy and statistical significance of them is different according to each analytic model. With regard to subjective perceptions, equality consciousness is important factor that affect the support for state responsibility, preference for sliding-scale fee policy.
