Abstract

This study was conducted in order to identify factors affecting opinions on marriage of unmarried women in their 30's in Korea. Analysis of data on 529 unmarried women in their 30's, which were taken from the 2012 social survey, was analyzed. Data were analyzed using ${\chi}^2$ test, hierarchical logistic regression analysis as well as descriptive statistics by SPSS version 20.0. Results showed that age(Exp(b)=.90,p=.025), opinions on divorce(Exp(b)=3.81,p<.001) and remarriage(Exp(b)=3.09,p=.001), and value on marriage(Exp(b)=.80,p<.001) were independent predictors of opinions on marriage. Economic activity(Exp(b)=19.58,p=.003) was found to be an independent predictor of opinions on marriage for the 35-39 year old women differ from 30-34 year old women predictors. Findings of this study indicate a need for developing family and marriage value-centered education and the low-fertility policy for the 35-39year old actively working women considering factors affecting opinions on marriage.

본 연구는 한국 30대 미혼여성의 결혼견해에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 수행되었다. 2012년 사회조사 자료 중 30대 미혼여성 529명의 자료가 분석에 이용되었다. 자료는 SPSS Ver. 20.0을 이용하여 ${\chi}^2$ test와 위계적 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 분석되었다. 연구결과 대상자의 연령(Exp(b)=.90,p=.025), 이혼에 대한 견해(Exp(b)=3.81,p<.001), 재혼에 대한 견해(Exp(b)=3.09,p=.001) 그리고 결혼관(Exp(b)=.80,p<.001)이 결혼견해에 영향하는 요인으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 30에서 34세 미혼여성과 35에서 39세 미혼여성간의 결혼견해에 영향을 미치는 요인의 차이는 경제 활동 여부(Exp(b)=19.58,p=.003)였다 연구결과는 가족과 결혼가치관 교육과 경제활동을 하는 35세에서 39세 미혼여성의 결혼견해에 영향을 미치는 요인을 고려한 저출산 정책이 필요함을 시사한다.
