Abstract

Household work is a productive activity, but it was not included in the System of National Accounts(SNA). Feminists and household economists complained this drawbacks of the SNA frequently. Finally, a Satellite Account for household production was allowed in the 1993 SNA. Korean government aimed to develop a Satellite Account for Korean household production. However, the development process u3s not efficiently peformed because of the lack of interests, relevant research, and appropriate dat3 at the national level in Korea. Therefore, this study aimed at examining to develop the Satellite Account for Korean household production in terms of its concept, method, data collection, and research topics. Several issues were discussed including methodology to value household production economically, appropriate ways for data collection, and future research directions in the topics of a Satellite Account.
