This paper is aimed to analyse the recent changes in family planning as a step in an evaluation of the results of the population control policy which has been strenuously pursued by the government since December 1981. The data used in this analysis comes from the 1985 national fertility and family planning survey conducted by the Korea Institute for Population and Health (KIPH) in May 1985. According to the 1985 survey data, there have been great changes in both the contraceptive practice and fertility rates since the strengthening of the government's population control policy in 1 981. The contraceptive practice rate for married women aged 15-44 has increased from 57.7% in 1982 to 70.3% in 1985, an increase of 12.6% points in the short span of only 3 years. During the same period, the total fertility rate has declined from 2.7 in 1982 to the population replacement level which was planned to achieve by 1 988. More than 80% of women aged over 30 or with two children or more are practicing contraception, while the practice rates of women with 0-1 children are 14.0% and 45.1% respectively. The survey has revealed that the increase of contraceptive practice rate during 1982-1985 has mainly attributed to the high acceptance of sterilization procedures which practice rate of the married women has increased from 28.1% to 40.3% for the period. Also, the survey data shows that 24.7% of those women with only one child is practicing contraception for thepurpose of fertility termination. The government, taking into account of rapid changes in contraceptive practice and fertility rates, is formulating a population plan during the sixth fiveyear economic and social development plan (1987-1991) to achieve 1% ofpopulation growth rate by 1993, which was planned to realize by 2000. In order to meet this demographic goal, the existing population control policy measures should be improved to be suited to the recent contraceptive use and fertility changes. From this standpoint, the following considerations should be put forth; 1) improvement of the current program management systems including target allocation and evaluation schems for recruiting new acceptors in the young 20s groups to use contraceptives for birth spacing and to increase high continuation rates through the strengthening of follow-up services for the acceptors, 2) increase of self-supporting contraceptive users by promoting commercial advertisements on contraceptives through mass media including T.V. and radio, 3) development of social support policies including incentive schems, and strengthening of IE & C activities for increasing the proportion of the one-child family, 4) strengthening of population and family planning education in and out school youth, and 5) strengthening of management capabilities at the provincial and local program managers.

본 연구는 미혼 남녀의 출산의도에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하기 위해 계획된 행위이론을 적용한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료 수집은 미혼 남녀 168명을 대상으로 2021년 4월 5일부터 4월23일까지 이루어졌다. 연구결과 일반적 특성에서 남성이 여성보다 출산의도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며, 연령과 학력이 높을수록, 직업이 있는 경우, 비정규직인 대상자의 출산의도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 계획적 행위이론(TPB)을 구성하는 변수 간의 상관관계를 살펴 본 결과, 출산에 대한 태도가 긍정적일수록, 주관적 규범이 클수록, 지각된 행위통제가 클수록 출산의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 츨신의도에 미치는 요인을 남성, 여성으로 나누어 분석한 결과, 남성의 경우 출산 태도만이 출산의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 출산의도에 대한 설명력은 62.2%이었다. 여성의 경우 출산 태도와 지각된 행위통제가 출산의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치며 이들 변수들의 출산의도에 대한 설명력은 69.0%이었다. 미혼남녀의 출산의도를 높이기 위해서는 장기적이며 포괄적인 접근이 필요하고, 향후 저출산 관련 정책 및 교육 프로그램 개발에 있어 본 연구결과가 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다고 본다.

This study examines how frequently employers offer family-friendly corporate programs and how frequently employees use the programs. This study also seeks to discover whether the implementation and utilization of family-friendly corporate programs results in an increase in employees' childbirths. Data were collected from 377 married full-time employees working in private sector companies located in Seoul and GyeongGi-Do. Frequency analyses of the employees' responses showed moderate rates of implementation of family-friendly corporate programs and much lower rates of employees' utilization. The hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the implementation of family-friendly corporate programs significantly predicted employees' childbirths. However, this was ineffective, having no significant influence on employees' childbirths, when their utilization of the programs was entered into the model. Higher rates of utilization of family-friendly corporate programs predicted more childbirths after employment. This study suggests that the implementation of family-friendly corporate programs per se is not a complete solution to get employees to have more babies. Rather, what matters is the usability of those programs. Finally, the implications of the study results are discussed.

본 연구는 기혼 여성 관리자의 가족친화제도 운영 인식이 후속출산계획에 미치는 영향과 가족친화적 상사지원인식과 일·가정 양립 갈등의 매개효과를 확인함에 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위해 여성관리자패널 데이터의 7차년도 자료를 활용하였으며, 최종적으로 1명 이상의 자녀를 두고 있는 여성 관리자 480명을 연구 대상자로 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 기혼 여성 관리자의 가족친화제도 운영 인식은 후속출산계획에 직접적으로 영향을 미치지는 않으나 가족친화적 상사지원인식과 일·가정 양립 갈등을 순차적으로 매개하여 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 조직이 가족친화제도를 운영하는 것에 더해 제도를 적극적으로 활용하고 지지하는 분위기를 조성하는 것이 중요함을 의미한다. 이에 연구결과를 바탕으로 저출산 현상을 극복할 수 있는 정책적, 실천적 개입을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to identify poorly understood factors related to the recent rapid decline in fertility in Korean society. Along with Becker's child demand theory, personal psychological traits, such as independence, nurturance, and affiliation, were given special attention in this study. We examine the processes of resource transfers between married women and their parents on childbearing intention in order to verify the effects of both factors. Five hundred and seventy-six women in their early stage of marriage from the 2009 wave of the National Survey of Marriage and Childbirth were analyzed. Main results of the study are as follows. First, Becker's child demand theory is not supported. Instead, the women who were not given economic support from their parents in getting a residence at the time of their wedding turned out to be more willing to have a child, potentially because they were more independent. Second, the women who provided caretaking and emotional support to their parents had higher childbearing intentions, potentially because they were more nurturing. In conclusion, these personal psychological variables are important in understanding the childbearing behavior of women. We suggest that the government should pay more attention to the micro-personal factors raised in this study when executing policies to reverse the current trend of low fertility.

Objective: The present study aimed to explore the experiences of mothers who have abandoned their additional birth plans since their first child was born. Methods: During in-depth interviews, mothers were asked to recall their own experiences of motherhood. The interview data were analyzed using the grounded theory. Results: The central phenomenon was 'The burden of raising a child is too heavy for mothers to carry alone.' The causal conditions were 'First experience: Unpredictable life', 'Physical and psychological difficulty', and 'Spouse's absence.' The contextual conditions were 'Expectations and reality of parenting' and 'Workplace conditions.' The mothers used interaction strategies of 'Defusing conflict only on a surface level: Giving up', 'Reliance on grandmothers', and 'Downgrading career aspirations.' These strategies were mediated by intervening conditions, 'Stereotypes and experiences of non-family nanny', 'Child's development', and 'Family conflict.' The results were 'Endless guilt', 'Ambivalence between independence versus interdependence' and 'Unfairness: Why only me?' Finally, the process of psychological conflict was identified to account for the steps leading mothers to give up on their birth plans. Conclusion/Implications: During the first experience of motherhood, mothers' conflict gets escalated despite their struggles. These experiences might discourage their additional birth plans. These results provide implications for policies to increase fertility rates.

As the fertility rate of Korea has recently decreased to the lowest level in the world, the recognition of the needs for social support for the child-care has been increased. This resulted in the announcement of National Policy of Child-Rearing Support in 2004. This study attempted to propose the activation of the family child-care for the preparation of the introduction of the National Policy of Child-Rearing Support. Using literature review and interview, the following research questions were addressed. Firstly, the actual situation of the family child-care was compared with that of the other types of child-care. Secondly, the policies of child-rearing support and the family child-care systems in other countries such as United Kingdom, Sweden and Japan were introduced. Finally, activations of the family child-care were discussed in terms of the introduction of the National Policy of Child-Rearing Support. The results of this study implies that the family child-care in Korea is different from that of other countries as well as other types of child-care in Korea. Also, it suggests that key factors of the activation of the family child-care in Korea are to identify as the small, informal and family-like child-care, to differentiate as the infant-care and non-standard time child-care from other types of child-care, and to increase the level of professionalization. In conclusion, family child-care should become an alternative for the low fertility problem.

한국의 저출산 심화에 따라 본 연구는 정부의 저출산 대응정책과 그에 대한 대중인식을 비교하여 근본적인 차이점을 밝히고자 했다. 이를 위해 네 차례의 '저출산·고령사회 기본계획'과 제3·4차 기본계획 발표 직후 2주간의 뉴스 댓글을 분석대상으로 선정하여, 빈도분석, 동시출현단어 분석, 구조적 등위성 분석을 실시하였다. 정책문서 빈도분석결과 제1·2차 시기는 직접적인 보육지원이, 제3·4차 시기부터는 사회구조적인 접근이 눈에 띄었다. 동시출현단어 분석에서는 정책과 댓글 모두 '육아'에서 일과 가정의 양립을 지향하였다. '결혼'과 '출산'의 경우 댓글은 연속성, 정책은 단절성이 두드러지며 특히 주거와 고용문제에서 큰 차이가 있었다. 댓글의 구조적 등위성 분석 결과에서는 대중들의 자녀 양육환경에 대한 관심, 정책 실효성에 대한 문제의식을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 빅데이터를 활용해 대중들의 인식을 확인하였다는 점에서 의의를 가지므로, 이에 근거한 정책 개선 등 향후 저출산 대응이 나아가야 할 방향을 수립하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

최근 지식기반경제로의 진입과 함께 인적자본형성으로서의 교육에 관한 문제는 모든 국가들에 있어서 중요한 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 1970년-2008년 기간 동안 비영어권 OECD 10개 국가들을 대상으로 교육투자와 경제성장과의 관계를 단순회귀분석(OLS) 및 표면상무관회귀분석(Seemingly Unrelated Regression Estimation: SURE) 기법을 사용하여 추정하여 상호 비교분석 하였다. 분석 결과 인적자본의 형성과 관련된 변수들의 추정에서는 교육투자를 비롯하여 R&D투자 및 출산율 모두 통계적 유의성이 높게 나왔으며 또한 경제성장에 정(+)의 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이들 중 경제성장에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요소로는 출산율이었으며 다음으로 R&D 투자, 교육투자 순으로 나타났다. 특히 출산율계수의 크기는 R&D 투자의 1.8배, 교육투자의 약 3.5배의 크기로 나타나고 있어 각 국가들의 지속적인 경제성장을 위해서는 R&D투자 및 교육투자뿐만 아니라 출산율 촉진정책도 동시에 고려되어져야 할 것으로 보인다.
