Objectives: The purpose of this study was to provide basic data for suggesting the realistic plan for the prevention of induced abortion. We performed an analysis of a recognition and actual conditions of the induced abortion according to the marital status. Methods: Participants were 681 persons of 20 years of age or older who lived in 7 cities and provinces. The data was collected with a structured questionnaire. For data analysis, Chi-square test, t-test and stepwise discriminant analysis were utilized. Results: The results were as follows. When degrees of recognition were analyzed according to the marital status, married were found to have higher levels of recognition of induced abortion than unmarried. From comparison of the recognition, there were significant differences between married and unmarried in terms of the recognition of the law, premarital sex, sex consciousness, intention of induced abortion, knowledge of contraception. Conclusion: The above results showed that marital status was strongly related to the recognition of induced abortion. And measures for preventing the induced abortion, specially about 20 percents of risky unmarried, should be focused.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to classify never-married types of adult men and women and explore factors related to these types. Never-married types were categorized into 4 types according to continuity and voluntariness: continuous voluntary type; changed voluntary type; continuous non-voluntary type; and changed non-voluntary type. Factors related to types of being single were examined in terms of socio-demographic factors, individual and psychological factors (self-esteem, depression), dating relationship factors (current relationship status), original family factors (parental conflict, relationship with parents, parents' demand for marriage), marriage related factors (division of roles after marriage), and occupation related factors (work values, employment instability). Method: As for research method, a survey was conducted with never-married adult men and women between the ages of 35 and 49 living in Seoul, Gyeonggi or Incheon areas. Of 300 copies of questionnaire distributed, data from 295 copies were processed using SPSS 24.0 program for multinomial logit analysis. Results: The study results showed that, of never-married men respondents, continuous voluntary type accounted for 20.5%; changed voluntary type 18.9%; continuous non-voluntary type 49.6%; and changed non-voluntary type 11.0%. It was found that the factors related to continuous non-voluntary type among never-married men are age, religion, average monthly income, while the factors related to changed voluntary type are religion, self-esteem, depression, and frequency and strength of parental conflict, while the factor related to changed non-voluntary type men was living with parents. Examining never-married women respondents, it was found that, continuous voluntary type accounted for 33.9%; changed non-voluntary type 19.6%; continuous non-voluntary type 22.6%; and changed voluntary type 23.8%. The factor related to continuous non-voluntary type among never-married women was parents' demand for marriage, while the factors related changed voluntary type were age, depression and strength of parental conflict. Also, the factors related to changed non-voluntary type of never-married women were age, religion, living with parents, depression and parents' demand for marriage. Conclusion: In conclusion, it was found that continuous non-voluntary type formed the largest group among never-married men, whereas continuous voluntary type was the majority in never-married women. Both never-married men and women chose to remain single when they are living with their parents and their parental conflict is intense. Parents' demand for marriage was related to women, but not to men.

Background: The cancer survival rate in Korea has substantially increased, necessitating the management of not only patients with cancer but also longer term survivors. Although the divorce rate has drastically increased in Korea, there is not sufficient research regarding the relationship between changes in marital status and quality of life (QOL) in cancer patients and survivors. Thus, we aimed to examine the relationship between marital status and QOL in such cases. Materials and Methods: This study was performed using the Community Health Survey of 2008 administered by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (N=169,328). We used t-tests and Chi-square tests to compare demographic variables between men and women, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare QOL scores among comparison groups. We also performed a multilevel analysis on the relationship between QOL and marital status while accounting for provincial differences. Results: Decline of EuroQOL five dimensions (EQ-5D) in single patients with cancer was greater than in any other marital status group, but there was no statistically significant decline in survivors of cancer with regard to marital status. In the general population, the decline of EQ-5D was higher among single people than married people. Using the EuroQOL visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), single people had higher values than those of other marital status among both patients with cancer and survivors of cancer. In the general population, EQ-VAS values were higher for single people compared to married people. Conclusions: There may be a significant relationship between marital status and QOL in cancer patients and survivors. Policy interventions to manage patients with cancer who experience a decline in QOL as well as marital problems should be conducted.

본 연구는 1990년부터 2010년까지 20년 동안 한국의 16개 광역자치단체의 무자녀율의 변화 추이와 그러한 무자녀율의 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 규명하기 위한 것이다. 연구결과 지역별로 무자녀율의 차이가 나타났으며 시간의 경과에 따른 무자녀율의 변화 추이를 알 수 있었다. 한편, 연령군별 무자녀율에는 사회발전, 교통수단, 여성의 지위 및 경제발전 등의 요인이 유의미한 정적 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 뿐만 아니라, 기혼여성의 무자율을 경험적으로 규명하기 위해서는 종속변수로 일반기혼여성 무자녀율을 적용하기 보다는 연령군별 무자녀율을 적용하여 분석하는 것이 무자녀율을 보다 잘 이해하는 방법임을 제시하고 있다. 또한 지난 20년 동안 한국은 난임 부부의 임신을 위한 지원정책이 출산율 제고에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있으나 사회환경 및 여건의 변화로 인하여 지발적 무자녀 현상이 20대 후반부터 40대 중반의 연령층에 걸쳐 해마다 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 출산율 제고를 위해서는 난임 부부의 임신 지원정책을 보다 확대하여 지속적으로 시행하는 것이 요구되며 자발적 무자녀율을 낮추기 위해서는 출산에 우호적인 인식과 태도를 갖도록 인식전환 정책을 비롯한 다양한 노력이 필요하다고 하겠다.

지난 약 십년사이 급변하는 한국의 가족환경 속에서 대중매체들은 혼인신고 지연 등을 포함 하여 동거(cohabitation)가 많이 증가하고 있다고 보고한다. 본 연구에서는 동거자의 특성을 검증하고, 한국가족에서 동거가 가지는 의미를 탐구하고자 하였다. 조사의 초점은 아니었지만 동거의 일면을 밝혀줄 수 있는 2개의 전국조사, 즉 혼인신고와 사회통계조사, 자료를 바탕으로 다변인 로짓분석을 실시하였다. 결과들은 대체로 서구문헌에서 제시하는 이론적 틀을 수용한다. 첫째, 동거는 이혼의 증가 등 가족제도의 전반적인 변화와 관련되어있다. 혼전동거의 비율이 초혼보다 재혼에서 높았고, 초혼과는 달리 이혼 후 재혼에서는 교육수준에 따른 혼전동거비율의 차이가 거의 없었다. 둘째, 취업이나 학력 등의 면에서 사회경제적 자원이 적은 남자들이 많은 남자들에 비하여 결혼보다 동거를 택할 확률이 대체로 높았다. 셋째, 부부간 취업, 교육수준, 연령차이 등 사회경제적 지위를 비교해 보면, 결혼커플보다 동거커플에서 성역할 평등 혹은 성역 할 반전이 더 활발한 것 같다. 학력, 취업, 가족가치관, 연령 등 동거커플들의 특성이 미혼자 및 이혼자뿐 아니라 결혼부부와도 특별히 유사하지 않다는 면에서, 현재 우리나라에서 행해지는 동거를 단순히 결혼의 연장선으로 볼 수는 없는 것 같다. 결혼을 하되 당분간 두고 본다는 의미를 넘어서, 동거를 선택할 수밖에 없는 이유가 있는 것이 아닌가 생각된다. 결혼을 유지하기 어려운 사회적 여건 때문에 동거가 확산되고 있는지, 그 원인, 과정 및 결과에 관한 보다 체계적인 후속 연구가 요청된다.

This study attempted to explain how middle-aged married men and women prospected their family life in terms of their future coresident family members, caregivers, and residence, and what factors were associated with these prospects. The prospects reflected their realistic expectation rather than their preference based on their current life situations. Data were drawn from a survey of 800 married men and women in their 50s and 60s in Seoul and Gyunggi-do. Following previous research, we examined how resources (age, sex, health status, spouse's health status, number of children, current living arrangement, and household income), subjective perception on their responsibility for their parents and children, and relational satisfaction with their spouse and with their children were associated with the prospect. The results showed that these factors were associated with the prospect which is with whom they would live, who would care for them, and where they would live in different ways. The resources were more likely to be associated with the prospect on coresident family members and residence. The perceptions on responsibility were more likely to be associated with the prospect on caregivers. The relational satisfaction was more likely to be associated with the prospect on coresident members. These results underscored that the characteristics of caregiving and family life would change in 10-20 years. Family policymakers need to take these changes into consideration as they deal with issues of family policy.
