Abstract

The purpose of this study is to raise the importance of 'family culture and values' in the process of diagnosing and discussing the causes and measures of low fertility in Korean society. In addition, I sought to find the causes of over - fertilization and ways to cope with it in terms of educational approach to establishing family culture and values. Specifically, this study firstly reviews the causes of low fertility in Korea by examining the evaluation of low fertility policies, secondly, examines the actual conditions and changes in family culture and values related to low fertility, and third, In this paper, I examined the validity of educational intervention, the actual state of intervention, the contents of education in institutional education, the necessity and effect of education, the composition of educational content, and possible policies and arguments based on educational approach. The issue of low birth rate is a national social problem facing the Korean society in the modern age. Considering its causes and countermeasures at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the factors of family culture and values as well as economic factors. To further emphasize the educational approach to gender equality and family-friendly family culture and values.

이 연구는 한국사회가 처해있는 저출산의 문제에 대하여 그 원인과 대책을 진단하고 논의하는 과정에서 '가족문화와 가치관'의 중요성을 제기하고자 한 것이다. 아울러 가족문화와 가치관 정립을 위한 교육적 접근의 관점에서 저출산의 원인 및 극복의 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 구체적으로 이 연구에서는 첫째, 저출산 관련 정책에 대한 평가를 고찰하여 저출산 원인을 재인식, 재평가하고, 둘째, 저출산 관련 가족문화와 가치관의 실태 및 변화를 고찰하며, 셋째, 저출산 대책과 관련된 '교육'의 문제를 쟁점화하여 교육적 개입의 타당성, 개입의 실태, 제도교육에서의 교육내용 검토, 교육의 필요성과 효과 검증, 교육내용의 구성, 교육적 접근으로 가능한 정책들과 논거 등을 살펴보았다. 저출산의 문제는 현대 한국사회가 갖고 있는 국가사회적 당면 과제로서 그 원인과 대책을 동시에 고려할 때, 경제적인 요인과 더불어 가족문화와 가치관에 대한 요인에 주목하여 볼 필요가 있으며, 이 요인들을 고려한 해결책으로서 성평등하고 가족친화적인 가족문화와 가치관 형성을 위한 교육적 접근을 더욱 강조하여야 한다.
