농촌 결혼이주여성들의 복지욕구 영향요인에 관한 탐색적 연구

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the welfare needs of the rural marriage migrant females. A survey was conducted on 300 rural marriage migration females using probability sampling and for the analysis stepwise regression was used. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows. The welfare needs of counselling on husband' behavior problem were higher in cases of worse mental health, better physical health, younger age and lower participation in the meetings with her fellow countrymen. The welfare needs on the children raising and education were relatively higher among the migrant females from Vietnam and younger age. The needs on the job skills training were lower in cases of the migrant females from Philippines, China(the Chinese) and were higher in cases of lower level of family understanding. The welfare needs on the job placement were higher among older and lower community affinity, and were lower in cases of the migrant females from Philippines. The results suggest that the welfare services should be differently provided to the migrant females in reflection of the age, education level, nationality and community resources. Further, the mental health screening test and treatment services for migrant females are needed since the welfare needs increase when the migration females have worse mental health condition.

본 연구의 목적은 농촌 결혼이주여성들의 복지욕구의 영향요인을 탐색적으로 확인하고자 하는 것이다. 확률표집을 한 300명의 농촌거주 결혼이주여성의 복지욕구조사결과, 남편의 문제행동 상담에 대한 복지욕구는 정신건강이 나쁠수록, 신체건강이 좋을수록, 연령이 낮을수록, 자국민모임참여가 없는 경우에 높았다. 자녀양육 및 교육관련 욕구는 연령이 낮을수록 베트남 출신 이주여성이 욕구가 상대적으로 높았다. 취업교육욕구는 필리핀, 중국(한족) 출신이주여성이 낮았고, 가족이해정도가 낮을수록 욕구가 높았다. 취업알선욕구는 연령이 높을수록, 지역주민으로서의 소속감이 낮을수록 높았으며, 필리핀 출신 이주여성들이 낮았다. 이러한 결과 등을 고려하여, 이주여성의 연령과 학력, 국적, 지역사회자원 등에 따라 복지서비스를 차별화하여 제공해야 함과 동시에 이주여성의 정신건강에 대해 좀 더 관심과 지원을 기울여야 할 필요성이 제기되었다.
