Abstract

Present study notes that youth poverty is not only an income deficit, but also a deficit in various dimensions of life such as housing, work and health deficit. Multidimensional poverty is measured by four dimensions: income, work, housing and health. The sample is a 2630 one-person household female youth pooled from the Korea Welfare Panel 10-Year Data. The analysis tool used SPSS statistical program, and the analysis framework was the deficiency rate by dimension, the correlation analysis between deficiency dimension, and the overlapping rate of N dimension poverty. As a result, women's youth in Korea had higher deficit rate in terms of work and housing than other dimensions, and the proportion of women youth who were both poor in work and housing at the same time was also relatively higher than in other cases. Based on these results, this study proposes the construction of customized job services, job matching with small and medium-sized enterprises and allocation of one young woman's household among the targets of long-term chartered housing. Female youth's sharing-economy association should be considered as alternatives.

본 연구는 청년빈곤이 소득결핍만이 아닌, 주거결핍, 근로결핍, 건강결핍등 삶의 다양한 차원에서의 결핍으로 나타나고 있음을 주목함과 동시에 상대적으로 관심이 부족했던 여성청년 가구의 빈곤 및 결핍을 다차원적으로 분석한다. 다차원적 빈곤은 소득, 근로, 주거, 건강의 네 가지 차원으로 측정하였다. 표본은 한국복지패널 10년치 자료에서 pooling한 2630명의 1인 가구 여성청년이다. 분석도구는 SPSS 통계프로그램을 사용하였고 분석틀은 차원별 결핍율, 결핍차원간 상관분석, N개 차원 빈곤 중첩률이며 이를 위해 빈도분석, 평균분석, 상관분석 등의 기술통계법을 사용하였다. 분석 결과 우리나라 여성청년은 근로와 주거에서 다른 차원에 비해 상대적으로 결핍율이 높게 나타났으며 이 두개 차원이 동시에 빈곤인 여성청년 비율도 다른 경우에 비해 상대적으로 높았다. 이러한 결과를 근거로 본 연구는 청년 여성 맞춤형 일자리 서비스 구축, 강소기업과의 일자리 매칭, 장기전세주택 대상자 중 청년여성 1인 가구 할당 등을 제안하는 바이다. 이와 함께 여성청년 스스로의 공유경제 공동체 설립 등도 대안적으로 고려되어야 할 것이다.
