  • The purposes of this study were to establish a conceptual model on the woman's labor force participation and mobility in the labor market and to analyze the correlation between them. Included in those models were two independent variable sets. The one was related to household's financial conditions and the other was associated to the woman's role such as marital status, the number of children and the existence of young children. KHPS's national data was used and the Binomial Probit Model and Bivariate Probit Model were employed to analyse the effects of independent variables and the correlations between two dependent variables. The results of this study were as follows. The rate of women's labor force participation and the percentage of mobility willingness were 15.4% and 22.0%. Among the variables which have affected women's labor force participation were total wage income, non-wage income, expenditure on children's education and the subject judgement of their financial status. The existence of children under the age of 6 and marital status had significant influences on women's mobility willingness. The correlation between women's labor force participation and mobility willingness was very significant statistically. These findings clarified the status of woman as a secondary worker and pointed that a woman's economic activity would be subject to the woman's condition rather than her human capital.

  • かつてフェミニズムや男女平等を批判していた安倍晋三首相率いる第二次安倍政権は,2012年以降,女性の社会進出を後押しする政策を積極的に促進し,2015年には女性の職業生活における活躍の推進に関する法律(女性活躍推進法)を成立させている。女性活躍推進法は,女性政策ではなく,女性を利用しようとする経済政策であるとの批判が多いが,一方では女性のための政策としての側面もあるとの指摘もあり,保守政権による女性政策の興味深いケースとなっている。本稿は,女性活躍推進法の審議過程における女性の実質的代表の内実を明らかにすることを目的とする。具体的には,安倍政権による女性政策,また,女性の実質的代表に関する先行研究の知見から導き出した二つのリサーチクエスチョンへの答えを,法案審議での議員発言をデータとして提示することが本稿の課題である。第一に,女性活躍推進法が女性活用の経済政策であるという評価から,審議過程においても,女性の利益や権利を代表する発言よりも,女性を経済成長や少子高齢化社会における資源として活用しようとする発言が多いのかどうかを探る。第二に,女性を実質的に代表する発言があるとすれば,どのような発言内容が見られるのかを明らかにする。特に,保守政党である自由民主党が多数を占めている国会での審議においては,女性の家庭内ケア提供役割を所与とした女性のための発言が大勢を占めているのかに注目する。これらのリサーチクエスチョンに答えることで,女性活躍推進法を巡る女性の実質的代表の有り様,また保守主義と女性の実質的代表の関係を明らかし,女性の実質的代表の研究に貢献することを目指す。分析の結果,女性を活用しようとする発言は,女性を代表する発言,また女性活用の姿勢を批判する発言と比べて数が少なかったこと,議員発言によって多種多様な女性が代表されていることが明らかになった。また,保守系議員による,女性の家庭内ケア提供役割を所与とした保守的な女性の代表発言がある一方で,主に野党議員による,保守的ではない女性の代表発言も多くあったことも示された。これらの分析結果は,保守政権が支配する議会であっても,非保守的な女性の実質的代表が,少なくとも審議過程においては可能であることを示唆している。

  • This study examines the condition of transfers between mothers and adult children, analyzing the influencing factors in such transfers. Specifically the study examines the influence of financial transfers and economic resources on financial transfers and grandchild caregiving between mothers and adult children. The sample of 3719 mothers with adult children was extracted from the first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families. The major findings are as follows. Mothers's socio-demographic characteristics are important factors in explaining financial transfers between mothers and adult children. Mothers who have jobs and spouses are more likely to provide economic resource to their adult children than those who don't have. In terms of receiving economic resources from adult children, statistically meaningful factors are mothers' age, labor market participation, marital status, household income, household asset, and children's labor market participation. Especially, labor market participation of mothers and adult children is statistically powerful factor in financial transfers and caregiving.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the compensation of rurul women receive instead of their physical participation and contribution to their households. I am specifically concerned with the rural women's economic status in relation to their decision making power on household and agricultural economic issues as well as property held in their names. The data of 166 rural men and women in Jyungpook Province are collected by using questionnaires in June 1998. The findings of this study are as follows; 1) Rural women contribute average 53% of their husbands' contribution to agricultural labor which is on average 43.0% of total annual household income. 2) The decision making power on major economic issues remains still very low among rural women. Rural women are still excluded from the possibility of actually owning assets such as property,. Only 189% had assets under their names for assets. 3) The significant factors concerning the rural women's decision making power on econo ic issues are gender-role attitudes of rural women and the husband's judgement of how much their wives contribute to the annual household income. 4) the major factors which influence rural women owning household assets are the decision making power on economical matters contribution to the annual household income and each woman's education level.

  • 여성들의 경제활동 상태는 '가족주기'와 같은 '생애과정'과 밀접히 관련되어 있기 때문에, 경력단절 경향이 강하다. 이 연구는 한국여성의 취업유형을 규명하는 데, 특히 여성들의 생애과정 씨퀀스(sequence)가 갖는 효과를 중심으로 여성들의 취업 이행 과정을 분석하고 있다. 여성들의 경제활동상의 지위 변화에는 과거의 일회적인 사건의 효과 이상으로 과거 생애과정에 축적된 연계의 효과가 중요하기 때문이다. 이 연구의 연구가설은 두 가지이다. 첫 번째 연구가설은, 생애과정 씨퀀스별로 구분되는 여성들의 네 개의 취업경력 유형들 사이에 유의미한 사회.인구학적 차이가 있을 것이라는 점이다. 두 번째 연구가설은, 생애과정 씨퀀스의 배열 순서에 따라 여성들의 취업 이행 과정은 매우 다를 것이라는 점이다. 이 연구가설을 검증하기 위해서 여성취업실태조사자료 가운데 취업력 및 생활사에 대한 종단적 자료를 일원변량분석 및 사건사분석(event history analysis)방법으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 취업경력 유형에 따라 구분된 '연속취업형', '불연속취업형', '비경제활동형', '결혼후 퇴장형'의 네 집단간에는 연령, 학력, 자격증 소지 여부, 부모의 인적자본, 건강 상태 등에서 유의미한 차이가 존재함을 발견하였다. 또한 생애과정 씨퀀스의 배열 순서에 따라 구분된'취업후 결혼형'과'결혼후 취업형'은 취업 진입과 취업 단절 행위에서 매우 구별되는 집단임을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 분석 결과를 통해서, 여성들 내부의 경제활동상의 이질적인 집단의 구분과 각 집단 내부 여성들의 다양한 취업 경로를 규명하는 데, 생애과정 씨퀀스가 중요한 설명변수로 작용함을 경험적으로 입증하였다.

  • The recession caused by the COVID-19 crisis has features that could disproportionately harm female employment. Risk of infection and social distancing measures may have disrupted jobs in face-to-face industries, which have traditionally hired more women than men. School closures and a consequent increase in childcare and homeschooling demands may have discouraged labor market participation by working mothers. Using the Economically Active Population Survey, I examine how female employment was affected by each factor. I find that the gender gap in the Employment to Non-participation (E to N) transition rates is twice as large as the gap in the Employment to Unemployment (E to U) transition rates. Women's overrepresentation in the face-to-face industries accounts for most of the gap in the E to U transition but only a third of the gap in the E to N transition. The rise in non-participation is especially pronounced among married women aged 39-44, the group most likely to have elementary-school-age children.

  • This study analyzes the effects of women's labour force participation and work-family reconciliation support on life-cycle fertility in Korea. The analysis is based on the longitudinal data from Korean Labour and Income Panel Study (KLIPS), which include the available information on life-cycle fertility and employment history. Employing a dynamic model of fertility, we estimated the life-cycle fertility of all the 15-49 years old women considered in this study by using a duration model. The major results of this study were as follows: First, women's labour force participation had a negative effect on the first birth, second birth, and all births (transition to births starting at different parities). Women's employment tended to lengthen the interval between births. Second, the availability of maternal leave had a positive effect on the first birth and all births for working women. Providing maternal leave to working women decreased the opportunity cost of childbearing and in turn, reduced the interbirth interval of women. However, the availability of parental leave had no significant effect on the births of working women. Third, the financial support for childcare had a positive effect on the first birth and all births. The economic support for childcare led to the reduction in the interbirth interval of women by increasing the probability of births. The use of a childcare center for the first child, which substitutes for the time that women needed to take care of their children, classified as time-intensive consumption goods, did not have any effect on the second birth. Fourth, the part-time employment of women had a positive effect on the second birth. A flexible working time schedule tended to decrease the interval between the first and the second births.

  • 한국여성의 노동시장참여에 대한 교육의 미약한 효과는 한국여성 교육의 인적자본(human capacity)으로서 의미에 의문을 제기하게 된다. 오늘날 인적자본으로서 교육의 의미는 점점 중요해지고 있다. 여성의 취업에 대한 열망이나 여성인력이 낭비되고 있다는 사회의 지적은 여성 스스로나 일반인들에게 교육이 인적자본으로서 인식되고 있다는 것을 반영하고 있다. 그러나 실제 노동시장에서 여성의 교육은 인적자본으로서 기능을 제대로 하고 있지 못하는 것 같다. 여성의 교육이 인적자본 차원에서 어느 정도 의미가 있는가를 검토하려고 할 때, 여성의 노동시장참여 가능성과 함께 여성이 일할 경우에 나타나는 경제적 보상의 정도를 고려해야 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 한국여성의 노동시장참여에 대한 교육효과는 미흡한 것으로 나타났지만 일하는 여성을 대상으로 했을 경우에는 임금에 대한 교육효과는 명백한 것으로 지적되었다. 그러나 위의 두 경우를 함께 고려해서 여성 전생애에 걸쳐 나타난 경제적 보상에 대한 교육효과를 검토하려는 시도는 없었다. 1980년대 중반에 이르기까지 비농업부문에서 여성경제활동의 변화가 거의 없었던 점을 염두에 두면서 본 연구에서는 횡단적 자료를 이용해 여성 전생애에 걸쳐 교육의 인적자원으로서의 의미를 검토해 보려고 했다. 연구결과에 따르면, 노동시장참여에 대한 교육효과는 거의 존재하지 않으며 여성이 일하는 기간은 아주 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 일하는 여성을 대상으로 한 임금에 대한 교육효과는 젊은 여성에게서는 잘 나타나는 편이었지만 나이 든 여성의 경우에는 미미한 편이었다. 젊은 여성의 경우 임금에 대한 교육효과가 크게 나타나지만, 그들의 취업기간은 극히 짧고 노동시장참여에 대한 교육효과가 거의 존재하지 않기 때문에 인적자본으로서 교육의 의미는 작은 편이라고 할 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this research was to analyze the market-labor participation of married women and their demand for an additional child, The theories from 'Economics of Fertility' by Willis and Bekerian 'Household Production Model' were applied to develop the theoretical model. For the empirical analysis National Data for Fetility in Korea was used, Even though the model was fully developed based on economic theories only the pasychological or value-related variables were appeared to be statistically significant. That means in Korea the decision-making for market work and fertility are still following the traditional way as it is.

  • Over the past decades, the Jordanian government has made great efforts to help poor women start small businesses by providing microcredit and facilitating financial services. Although in Jordan almost hundreds of thousands of women have the ability to contribute more fully to their economy, they are reluctant to do so. Women's participation in economic activities in 2016 was only 13.2%, while the unemployment rate for Jordanian women was 24.1%. The decline in women's participation in small business management has gradually become an important issue following the trial of more than 13,000 Jordanian women for non-payment of their micro-loans. This study aims to identify the factors that hinder Jordanian women from achieving job stability. In this qualitative study, a semi-structured interview method with sixteen open-ended questions was used to collect relevant data. A purposeful sampling method is also used to select participants. To analyze the data, this study used NVivo 11 software as a method. Using System Theory, this study showed that women's failure depends on three factors: women entrepreneurs, the environment around women entrepreneurs, and micro-financial institutions. Findings of this study suggest that strengthen women's entrepreneurship sustainability and minimize the risk of failure should be done through integrated strategies include these three domains.
