This study explores the relationships between the division of housework, perceived marital fairness, communication, and marital satisfaction in elderly households. Although the marital relationship is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life, few studies have focused on marital quality, particularly in the context of older adults. Data were obtained from the 2nd National Korean Family Survey in 2010. The results based on a total of 410 elderly households with couples aged 60 and over indicate significant differences in housework participation between men and women. Women were responsible for most of the housework. According to the regression analysis, the division of housework, perceived marital fairness, and communication independently predicted marital satisfaction, but there were no significant relationships between sociodemographic factors and marital satisfaction. There were significant interactions between the division of housework, perceived marital fairness, and marital satisfaction through communication as a moderator of effects of the division of housework and perceived marital fairness on marital satisfaction. The higher the satisfaction with communication, the stronger the relationship between marital satisfaction and satisfaction with the division of housework was. On the other hand, the lower the satisfaction with communication, the greater the effect of perceived marital fairness on marital satisfaction was. These results suggest that the way in which elderly couples perceive their marital relationships and the level of their satisfaction in interacting with each other play important roles in enhancing their marital quality.

This paper examines the relationship between economic dependence and gender differences in housework in Korea. There are three explanatory alternatives for the relationship; economic rule of exchange, gender display perspective and deviant neutralization. We analysed both 2004 and 2009 time use survey data. The findings show the significant gender differences in time spent on housework that wives spend much more time on housework than husbands. However, among couples with non-normative gender roles, in some cases the more economically powerful wives spend more time on housework than breadwinner wives with weaker economic power, although such cases are rare. Rather, it is appropriate to conclude that, the more economically independent the wives, the less time they spend on housework; this is also the case for husbands. Overall, the Korean case shows what the economic exchange theory predicts. Thus, improvements in working wives' economic power will lead to gender equity in the division of housework.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the gender division of housework in the Choson period. The gender division in the Choson period has been considered as discriminative because women had to remain indoors and were excluded in social works. But in fact the Confucian idea, which regulated the relation between women and men, emphasized the gender difference and not gender discrimination. Actually it can be seen in genre painting of Choson period that women and men worked complimentarily indoors. So this article intends to explore the possibilities of the new analysis of the traditional gender division of housework by reviewing the paintings. As the results indicate, men in the Choson period were involved in some housework, in contrast to the common idea that they maintained their authority by not participating housework. There is also some evidence that gender division benefited women to protect their own productive territory or to satisfy their needs. So it is suggested that gender division in the Choson period should be considered as a source of power as well as a disadvantage to women. Forth, the employed mens' reemployment decision was affected from their household income, expected income after retirement, pension ownership, and attitude toward retirement. From the findings, it can be concluded that the employed mens' age, economic status, and attitude toward retirement played a important role in the process of retirement and reemployment decision making.

본 연구의 목적은 일본의 자녀양육기 가족에 초점을 맞추고 코로나19 팬데믹이라고 하는 가정 및 가족의 외부에서 일어나는 사건에 의한 노동시간 및 통근시간 등의 변화가 부부간 역할분담, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간에 영향을 미치는지에 대해서 밝혀내는 것이다. 분석자료는 일본 내각부가 실시한 「제3회 코로나19 영향에 따른 생활의식·행동의 변화에 관한 조사. 2021」 데이터이다. 20세 이상이며 배우자와 동거하고 있고 18세 미만의 자녀가 한 명 이상이면서 남편과 부인이 모두 취업자인 총 983명을 분석대상자로 선정하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 코로나19 팬데믹 이후 부부간 역할분담은 남편의 역할이 증가하는 방향으로 변화하였음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 노동시간 및 통근시간의 감소는 남성의 역할분담을 증가시키는 방향으로 작용하고 있었다. 셋째, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간은 부부간 역할분담보다 더욱 명확하게 남편과 부인의 노동시간 및 통근시간과 관계가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 결론적으로 여성의 노동시간 및 통근시간의 변화보다 남성의 노동시간 및 통근시간의 변화가 부부간 역할분담, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있다는 결과를 얻어냈다. 노동시간 및 통근시간에 대한 심도있는 고찰을 위해서 후속연구에서는 노동시장 요인을 고려한 분석이 필요하다.
