젊은 여성의 첫 출산 후 노동시장 복귀에 관한 분석

Analysis of Married Women's Return to the Workforce Following First Childbirth

본 연구는 노동시장 이행을 중점적으로 분석할 수 있는 한국노동패널(KLIPS) 자료를 이용하여 출산 후 노동시장으로의 복귀를 결정하는 요인을 콕스 비례재해를 모형(Cox Regression Hazard Model)으로 분석한 연구이다. 분석 결과 출산 후 노동시장으로의 복귀를 결정하는 데 있어 학력이라는 인적자본이 정(+)의 효과가 뚜렷이 나타났으며, 자녀보육 대행자가 있는가의 여부에 따라 출산 후 노동시장으로 복귀할 이행률이 2배 이상 차이가 나는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 출산 전 취업 형태가 임금근로일 경우 노동시장 복귀로의 이행률이 비임금근로자보다 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a dynamic analysis of married women's return to the workforce following first childbirth. We have based our investigation on the data compiled by the KLIPS, where the workforce performance is the focal point of it's research, and by these materials, this study has analyzed the aspects of the factors that decide post-childbirth return to the workforce. We have applied the Cox Regression Hazard Model, where corroborative evidence are statistically applied. The following are the conclusions that were derived from this research: First, according to the study, academic background is a vital factor in reducing the gap and time of women's return to the workforce. Second, whether having active child-care after giving birth or not doubles the chances of women returning to the workforce. Third, if the pre-birth employment form was a wage-work and the rate of returning to the workforce was lower than the non-wage, relatively speaking, this reflects that the non-wage form of work, which provides a better possibility to return to the workforce after giving birth, could be another way to prevent women's career discontinuation.
