In the materialistic societies, individuals get money return according to the importance of their roles. But unlike wage workers who are engaged in market production , housewives engaged in home production do not get that return. It is because the result of home production is not transacted in the market and the price is not given to it, so the value of home production is not estimated. Hence this study trcognizes again the value of home production, suggests the estimation methods of it in input and output based on home production systems and attempts to actualize those methods socially. This home production develops the human attributes of family members to act as a member of a society and potentially contributes to home income and Gross National Products, so it has social and economic value. In spite of that significance, the value of home production is not estimated, so its nor recognized and housewives engaged in home production are not acknowledged their ability. Hence based on home production systems form input to output, this study suggested opportunity cost method and market cost method in input, method by saving money expenditure, hybrid method and method by comparing with market in output.

The political activity of women is relatively low. This is mainly because of the social-cultural attitude that confines women's role to housewives, rather than the structural problems that are related to political activities itself. This study has attempted to enhance the political activities of women by examining and providing the practical informations related to the hardships that are experienced by women who are pursuing a career both as a politician as well as a housewife. The sample of this study consisted of women who are assuming chief executives positions in organizations that are related to political activity, including local representatives of the national assembly. A case study was conducted by interviewing 8 female politicians. The contents of the study mostly consists of the personal situations (related to house lives) of these women. Semi-structured questionnaires were used, and the interview was conducted several times. First, the political careers of these women tended to start passively, rather than voluntarily. Second, the negative attitudes that were initially displayed by the family members and close relatives had changed positively through out the course of time. Close relatives, parents/parents-in-law were likely to become helpers of child care and household labor. The husband was likely to be a supporter of the wife's political career, and the children started to understand the roles of their mother as they grew up. Third, the female politicians perceived that the main impediments of women pursuing political careers were the sexually discriminating culture, rather than their own ability. Fourth, the fact that these women had to spend a lot of time outside the house has worsened the role conflict and difficulties of these women who are required to assume dual-roles. Furthermore, the difficulties that are faced publicly and privately has increased the psychological burdens of these women, since politicians, in general, are people who need to maintain their public image.

본 연구는 한국여성정책연구원에 의해 수집된 2008년도 여성가족패널 자료를 활용하여, 여성의 결혼만족도에 영향을 미치는 변인들을 분석하였다. 유배우 기혼여성을 대상으로, 임금노동분담과 가사노동분담 및 여가공유활동 등의 다차원적 부부역할에 주목하고, 여성의 성역할 태도 및 성장기 부모 간 친밀도와 여타 인구학적 변인을 고려하였다. 연령에 따른 생애발달단계의 특성과 출생집단별 경험의 차이를 고려하고자 각 연령대별로 표본을 나누어 분석하였는데, 이는 변수간의 연관성이 연령대에 따라 상이하게 혹은 유사하게 나타나는지를 관찰하고자 함이다. 관계만족도와 결혼행복도로 측정된 두 변수로써 결혼만족도를 개념화하고 관련변수들을 분석한 결과, 성장기 부모의 친밀도가 자녀의 결혼만족도와 정적인 연관성을 보이면서 세대 간 전이 가능성을 예시하였다. 임금노동차원에서 결혼행복도와의 관련성에서는 30-50대에서 남편홑벌이 가정의 아내가 가장 행복한 것으로 나타났고 다음이 맞벌이 여성이지만, 관계만족도와의 연관성에서는 40대에서 맞벌이 여성이 남편과의 관계에 가장 만족하고 다음이 남편홑벌이 가정의 아내로 나타나면서 50대 여성과 차별화된다. 가사분담 차원에서는 30-50대 여성들에서 자신의 부담이 줄어들수록, 결혼행복도 및 관계만족도가 높다. 그런데 가사분담의 평등성 자체의 영향력을 확인할 수 있었던 것은, 30대 연령층의 경우 관계만족도와의 연관성에 관해서뿐이다. 부부가 함께 공유하는 여가활동이 많을수록 결혼행복도 및 관계만족도가 높아서, 여가활동을 함께 해야 할 필요성이 강력히 제시된다. 나이든 연령대일수록 건강 및 가족경제상황을 좋지 않은 것으로 인식하고 여가공유활동의 빈도가 낮으며 결혼만족도가 낮다. 이는 연령이나 결혼기간의 경과에도 불구하고 만족스러운 결혼생활을 유지하기 위해서, 건강과 경제상황 및 여가공유활동 등의 여타 여건들을 유지하고 개선하기 위한 행동적 노력이 필요함을 시사한다. 이와 같은 개인적 노력과 더불어 친가족적 기업문화와 사회정책 등을 통한 지원이 함께 할 때, 가족과 사회 간의 선순환으로 이어질 것이다.
