Abstract

여성주의 경제학자와 사회학자들은 부모의 아동양육시간이 여성과 아동의 경제적 복지에 미치는 중요한 함의에 대해 강조해왔다. 사회가 가족이 아동을 양육하는데 더 큰 지원을 제공해야 한다는 부모의 목소리가 커지고 있지만, 정작 어느 정도의 시간 자원이 아동을 양육하는데 투입되는지에 관해 연구된 바가 거의 없다. 기존의 연구들은 전체 생산 경제에서의 무급 노동의 경제적 가치의 비중에 초점을 두었다. 본 연구는 2004년 한국생활시간조사를 사용해 아동 양육에 투입된 부모의 시간을 추정하고 그 시간의 금전적 가치를 추정하는 것이 목적이다. 부모가 아동양육을 위해 투입한 시간의 경제적 가치는 시장 노동을 통해 벌어들인 소득에 비교해 볼 때 상당한 비중을 차지하고 있다. 아동이 소비하는 재화와 서비스를 생산하는 데 있어 무급 노동의 역할은 시장 노동에 참여하지 않고 있는 사람들에게 특히 중요하다. 아동을 양육하는 모의 노력은 대개 무급 노동의 형태를 띠고 있는데, 부모의 시장노동만큼이나 아동 복지를 향상시키는데 기여하고 있다. 전체 경제 차원에서의 무급 노동의 비중과 그 경제적 가치에 대한 연구 성과들과 별개로, 부모의 아동 양육 시간의 비중과 경제적 가치의 추정은 전체 경제 가운데 인적 자본부문에 대한 무급 노동의 경제적 역할에 대해 중요한 정보를 제공한다.
