Abstract

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effects of economic support on working women's depressive symptoms, using the dataset of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF 4th). There were 2,055 subjects. Methods : A multiple regression model was used to study the association between two-income families and symptom of depression, controlling for socio-demographic characteristics, spouse relationship characteristics (couple activity, household labor, relationship with spouse). Results : Authors found a negative relationship between couple activity (b=-0.151, p<0.001) and depressive symptoms, a positive relationship between household labor (b=0.045, p=0.001) and depressive symptoms, and a negative relationship between relationship with spouse (b=-0.386, p<0.001) and depressive symptoms. Conclusions : The results of this study show the importance of spousal support in promoting the marital relationship and mental health among married working women.
