The purpose of this study was to investigate the economic lives of single households with the age of 30 through less than 50. The economic life was examined in three aspects; income, assets, and consumption expenditures and patterns. One hundred sixty single households were surveyed, with questionnaires for 15days from April 1 to April 15 of 2002, and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results were as follows: about 30.8% of total single households in the sample were in the income group of 1,500,000 thought less than 2,000,000 won. The size of income for the 30's was less than that for the 40's. Compared with male single households, female single households were more in both low and high levels of income. The saving rate tended more or less to be low. The more the age, the higher the saving rate. As for debt, the 40's single households, male single households, high school single households (compared to the 30's single households, female single households, university and graduate single households, respectively) were relatively higher. In general, the single households tended to have debts due to preparation for housing, credit over use. The assets tended to be managed by themselves. The economic preparation for the old life was done by banking system rather than insurance. The average monthly living costs was higher in the age of the 40's single than the age of the 30's single. The living costs of the female single households was higher or lower than those of the male single households. As for consumption patterns, there was the most in the expenditure allocation for food away from home, then for culture entertainmentㆍsocial life, and for clothing and shoes. As for the convenience of the consumption life in overall, there were more responses in moderation and inconvenience than in convenience.

본 연구는 지난 10년(1995-2005년)동안 급증하고 있는 1인가구의 인구 경제 사회학적 특성에 따른 성장패턴을 기술하고, 1인가구의 다양한 특성에 따른 공간분포 특성을 분석하는데 목적을 두었다. 1인가구의 증가는 젊은 층의 결혼 지연과 독신, 중년층의 이혼율 증가와 노령화에 따른 독거노인의 증가가 복합적으로 작용하였다. 1인가구의 성별, 연령별, 혼인상태별, 교육수준에 따라 상당히 차별적인 1인가구의 성장 패턴을 보이고 있다. 1인가구의 연령, 학력, 주택소유 및 주택유형을 기준으로 하여 이들의 공간분포 패턴을 비교해보면 매우 대조적이고 불균등하게 나타나고 있다. 교육수준이 높고 자가 아파트에 거주하는 젊은 싱글족은 소수의 대도시에 집중해있는 반면에 교육수준이 낮고 단독주택을 소유하고 있는 독거노인들은 주로 농촌에 거주하고 있다. 또한 고학력의 젊은 연령층의 경우 경제적 상황에 따른 양극화 현상이 두드러지게 나타나고 있다. 특히 광역시나 대도시에는 아파트를 소유하면서 경제적으로 여유있는 삶을 살고 있는 그룹과 월세로 단독주택에 거주하는 그룹이 혼재되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 1인가구들도 상당히 이질적인 특성을 갖고 있기 때문에 어떤 그룹에 속하고 있는 1인가구가 증가하고 있으며, 또 집중분포되어 있는가에 따라서 해당 지자체가 직면하게 되는 경제 사회적 문제는 상당히 다를 것이며, 이에 따른 사회복지정책도 차별화되어야 할 것이다.

This study determined the characteristics of meal-related time use among employees living in one-person and multi-person households by conducting a comparison focused on gender and age differences. Among the questionnaires distributed to employees during the 2014 Korean Time Use Survey, 19,692 were used for final analysis. The results were as follows: First, the one-person households had shorter meal-related time use than did the multi-person households, except for the time spent having snacks and beverages. Second, meal-related time use was generally longer in non-working days than in workdays. Third, gender differences in meal-related time use were observed, with the more significant ones being the differences in time devoted to meal preparation and dishwashing. Fourth, in both the one-person and multi-person households, women spent a longer amount of time preparing meals and washing dishes than did men, but this difference was greater in multi-person households. Fifth, old individuals spend a longer time preparing meals and washing dishes than did young individuals. Policies must be enforced to improve the quality of diets in one-person households. Such households should also be provided nutrition education to increase their awareness of the importance of healthy and regular meals. Another essential requirement of policy is the provision of gender equality education for both the one-person and multi-person households.

Recently, increasing one-person households, especially in the young generation, is one of the most important issues reflecting changes in the Korean family and society. The purpose of this study is to examine gender differences in life time use of one-person households aged 25 to 39, comparing with husband-wife couples of the same ages, and to investigate the determinants of subjective time poverty. Data are from the 2014 Life Time Survey by Statistics Korea. The major results are as follows. First, gender differences in time use of single youths were found in home management hours on weekdays. Female one-person householders spent more time in home management than their male counterparts, while male one-person householders spent more time in home management than young husband-wife groups. In addition, a much larger gender difference was found between young husbands and wives. Second, different effects on the subjective time poverty were found in both the groups. Based on these results, the implications for several specialized education and social programs for male and female one-person householders used in the local healthy families support centers are provided.

In this study, data from the 7th (2016~2018) and 8th (2019) Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were used, which included 5,325 subjects. Health behavior, dietary and nutrient intake status, physical measurement and biochemical characteristics, and risk factors for elderly related chronic diseases were classified and analyzed according to the changing composition of single households and other households in the current society. As a result, the ratio of current smokers and drinkers in young adult single households, walking less than 30 minutes per day, subjective health status was poor, breakfast rate less than three times per week, eating out frequency more than once a day, lipid intake ratio to total calories, saturation fatty acid intake were significantly higher. In addition, waist circumference, and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher. However, dietary fiber intake level was significantly lower. The results for hypertension, which is the representative chronic disease that causes old age-related chronic diseases, were significantly higher in single households (ORs=1.400 (95% CI: 1.095, 1.791), p=0.007). Although young adults may not have showed particularly serious health problems yet, education is believed as important to recognize and prevent age-related disease risk factors.

Korean households' expenditures on foodservices are on the steady increase. This paper aims to examine the foodservice expenditures of salary and wage earners's households by income decile group. This is analysed through comparing foodservice expenditures with private education expenditures because households' expenditures are likely to be weighted in favor of eating-out rather than private education. We also model the consumption function in terms of income and price, examining the responsiveness of private education demand and eating-out demand to changes in income and price using econometric methods such as regression, rolling regression and impulse response. This paper show that foodservice demand increases more than the private education does in the long-run. The result indicates that households are likely to evaluate the desire for foodservice more important than private education contrary to our expectations in the long-run. The impulse response analysis, however, suggests that households tend to increase private education expenditures rather than eating-out expenditures in the short-run.

This study examined factors associated with the ownership of stock investments and the amount of stock investments of households using the 2001 National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure by National Statistical Office. Households with large amounts of income, savings, and liabilities were more likely to invest in stocks and have large amounts of stock investments. Also, households with young and male householders, highly educated householders, a number of children in school, and housing ownership were more likely to invest in stocks and have large amounts of stock investments. On the other hand, self employed households and dual income households were less likely to invest in stocks and have small amounts of stock investments.

1인 가구의 비율은 꾸준히 증가하고 있으며, 청년층의 비율은 35.9%로 전체 1인 가구 중 가장 많은 비율을 차지한다. 하지만 청년 1인 가구에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어진 것은 비교적 최근이다. 1인가구에 대한 연구는 대부분 1인 가구 전체 또는 노인 1인 가구에 집중되어 있는 실정이며, 더 나아가 연령층별 차이 및 비교에 관한 연구는 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구는 전체 1인 가구를 청년층과 중장년층, 노년층으로 나누어 세 집단의 주거만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인에 어떤 차이가 있는지 확인하고 이러한 주거환경요인이 주거만족도의 매개효과를 통해 삶의 만족도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 한다. 분석에는 2020년 서울서베이 도시정책지표조사 데이터를 활용하였으며, 구조방정식 모형을 이용해 각 요인들의 영향관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 첫 번째 결과는, 다양한 주거환경요인들이 주거만족도와 삶의 만족도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 청년 및 중장년 1인 가구 모형에서 주거만족도가 삶의 만족도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 주거만족도에 영향을 미치는 주거환경요인에는 차이가 있음을 확인하였으며, 주거만족도가 중요한 매개 역할을 한다는 사실 또한 확인하였다. 마지막으로 다른 연령층에 비해 청년층의 주거 및 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인이 더 다양한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 정책적 시사점은, 1인가구의 주거 및 삶의 만족도 제고를 위해서는 연령층별 차이가 우선적으로 고려되어야 한다는 것이다. 특히 청년 1인가구의 경우에는 주거 및 삶의 만족도 향상을 위해 더 다양한 대안을 고려해야 할 필요가 있다.

The purpose of this study was to explore housing value clusters of young renters in South Korea and their relationships to household and housing characteristics reflected in the 2012 Korea Housing Survey (KHS). The 2012 KHS microdata was used as secondary data. Among the households included in the microdata, 1,196,144 young renter households (between 20 and 34 years of age) in private rental units were analyzed. The main findings are as follows. Ten rating scale items measured housing values. Eight of them were grouped into three value factors: Investment, Affordability and Cost Increase. Using these three value factors and perception of homeownership, households were classified into four clusters: Prospective Home Investor, Settled Renter, Homeowner Wannabe, and Support Needed. The current tenure types, income and expectation for next tenure types of four housing value clusters of young renters reflected Korea's tenure ladder which has home ownership at top followed by Jeon-se rental, monthly rental with deposit and monthly rental without deposit. The households in Prospective Home Investor and Homeowner Wannabe clusters would consider home purchase in the near future. Finally, households in Support Needed Cluster would be the main target to consider in development and implementation of housing welfare policies and programs to resolve housing problems of young renters, including beginning-stage professionals.

The purpose of this study was to explore housing cost burden of young single- or two-person households in the United States who have recently moved for job-related reasons. Total 580 households were selected from 2009 American Housing Survey public-use microdata for data analysis. The findings are as follows: (1) Targeted single-person households were characterized as younger households with higher educational attainment, lower household income, and greater proportion of renters, multifamily housing residents and households with housing cost burden than other households; (2) two-person households showed a higher income level and lower housing cost burden; (3) characteristics that showed significant influences on housing cost burden were household size, householder's age, gender, race and educational attainment, household income level and tenure type; and (4) a linear combination of household size, household income, whether or not a low-income household, residency in metropolitan area, and home structural type were found to be most efficient to predict a single- or two-person household's housing cost burden regardless of the household size.
