  • Oocyte in vitro maturation (IVM) is an assisted reproductive technology in which oocytes are retrieved from the antral follicles of unstimulated or minimally stimulated ovaries. IVM of human oocytes has emerged as a promising procedure. This new technology has advantages over controlled ovarian stimulation such as reduction of costs, simplicity, and elimination of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. By elimination or reduction of gonadotropin stimulation, IVM offers eligible infertile couples a safe and convenient form of treatment, and IVM outcomes are currently comparable in safety and efficacy to those of conventional in vitro fertilization. IVM has been applied mainly in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome or ultrasound-only polycystic ovaries, but with time, the indications for IVM have expanded to other uncommon situations such as fertility preservation, as well as to normal responders. In this review, the current clinical experiences with IVM will be described.

  • Rye breeding using F$_1$ hybrid began about 30 years ago, when cytoplasmically inherited forms of male sterility (CMS) and corresponding nuclear restorers were detected. It is very important to produce inbred lines for making hybrid lines because of strong self-incompatibility in rye. Among the 456 rye germplasms used in hybrid breeding scheme, 24 lines (5.3%) had the above 60% of self-fertility, and six lines of them were selected for their good agronomic characteristics and were used for subsequent inbreeding program. The average self-fertility of selected six lines was 78.4%, ranging from 72.2 to 99.5%. Genetic analysis for the self-fertility using $F_2$ populations showed that the segregation of self-fertile and sterile plants in F$_2$populations could be fit into 3 to 1 ratio suggesting self-fertility in rye be controlled by one major gene. The four different self-fertile lines, PI237923, 5C11, 5G5 and Florida black, had the same self-fertility gene because their F$_2$ plants showed almost the same self-fertility as their parents and showed no genetic segregation.

  • The subjects used in this study were chosen from self-employed women in Taegu City, Korea, Data for 415 respondents were collected by face-to-face interviews conducted during the period of November 10 through 23, 1987. There are three major purposes in this study : first, to describe the general characteristics of self-employed Korean women's fertility behavior ; second, to examine the determinants of fertility behavior among self-employed women : third, to explore the relative importance of the fertility determinants among the women. Regression analyses were introduced to test hypotheses. Nine variables, such as household income, educational attainment, mass media, abortion, the period of contraception practice, contraceptive expenses, the number of infant, deaths marital period, and age at first marriage were introduced as indicators in the regression. The results of this study show that there are negative relationships between the dependent variable of fertility and abortion, and the period of contraception practice. On the other hand, positive relationships between the dependent variable of fertility and the number of infant deaths, and marital period and age at first marriage are shown in this study. However, the results of this study show that there are insignificant relationships between socioeconomic variables and fertility. From the results of the F test to evaluate the significance of difference in $R^2$between two different regression equations, we have found that the regression equation including both socioeconomic variables and intermediate variables is misspecified to examine the determinants of fertility behavior among self-employed Korean women. That is, the F test shows that the regression equation including only intermediate variables as indicators is the best model for this study. Finally, the relative importance of the fertility determinants among self-employed women is found as follows : Age at the first marriage is the most influential variable in the fertility, and the next important factors are abortion, the period of contraception practice, the number of infant deaths, and marital period, in that order.

  • This study compared one-child households' economic structures between those who determined not to have more children and those who have a birth plan. This study examined the demographic characteristics and economic variables such as income, consumption expenditures, assets. debt, and a subjective evaluation of future economic status. Especially, it compared the effects of socioeconomic variables on expenditures on a child between low-fertility and birth-planned households. From a questionnaire completed by a husband or wife of one-child households, 154 low-fertility households and 201 birth-planned households were obtained. A t-test, chi-square test, multiple regression analysis and a dummy variable interaction technique were used. The findings of this study are as follows: First, low-fertility households were older, had higher income, and had more educated, employed wives. Their marital duration was longer, and their child was older than those of birth-planned households. Second, low-fertility households had higher consumption expenditures than did birth-planned households. Especially, expenditures of apparel and shoes, health care, education, and entertainment were significantly higher for low-fertility households. Also, low-fertility households spent more than did birth-planned households on a child. However, low-fertility households had significantly more debt than did their counterparts, and their expectation level of future economic status were lower than that of birth-planned households. Third, the effects of socioeconomic variables on expenditures on a child were different between low-fertility and birth-planned households. Age, education level, husband's occupation, wife's employment status, income, net asset, and subjective evaluation of future economic status showed significant differences. Income elasticity of expenditure on a child was significantly higher for low-fertility households than their counterparts.

  • 이 논문은 제2차 출산력변천 이론을 바탕으로 지역의 차별출산력을 통해 한국의 저출산 인과구조를 확인하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 양성평등 관념, 노동시장 불안정성, 가족형성을 결정요인으로 저출산 인과구조의 분석모형을 구성하였다. 자료는 2005년 센서스와 동태통계, 2004년 사업체노동실태현황을 활용하였다. 이 논문은 GIS를 이용하여 주요 변수들의 구 $\cdot$$\cdot$ 군별 분포를 지도로 제시하였다. 그리고 한국의 저출산 인과구조에 대한 일반화된 설명을 위해 분산분석과 경로분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 양성평등 관념과 노동시장 불안정성은 가족형성과 출산력을 낮추는 부적관계를, 가족형성은 출산력을 높이는 정적관계를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 양성평등 관념과 노동시장 불안정성은 가족형성을 매개로 출산력에 직 $\cdot$ 간접적인 영향을 미치며 출산력 저하를 이끌고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 한국의 제2차 출산력변천에서 양성평등 관념은 전반적으로 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있으며, 노동시장 불안정성은 대도시 지역에서 초저출산 현상을 크게 가중시키고 있다고 할 수 있다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 개인의 이데올로기, 개인의 경제적 상황에 대한 인식, 그리고 개인의 사회 문화적 특성들이 어떻게 2006년 이후 2008년 까지 출산회복기의 출산에 영향을 미치는지를 출산순위별로 분석하는 것이다. 분석 자료로는 2008년 한국보건사회연구원이 조사한 2007년 전국 출산동향 조사가 사용되었다. 이 자료의 응답자는 2007년도에 출산한 여성 1467명과 2007년도에 출산하지 않은 여성 1,000명으로 구성되어 있다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 이데올로기, 경제적 상황, 그리고 사회경제적 특성 요인들이 출산 행위에 미치는 영향은 출산순위에 따라 차이가 났다. 둘째, 출산장려 정책은 육아와 같은 경제적 지원뿐 아니라 부부관계보다 부모와 자녀간의 관계를 중시하는 전통적 가족이데올로기를 강조할 필요성이 있다. 셋째, 혼인연령을 낮추는 정책이 필요하다.
