Abstract

This paper analyzes the factors influencing the childbirth intention of married women with the goal of analyzing whether times of spouses' housework, marital satisfaction, values of children and traditional gender role, and social services related to the reduction of low fertility contribute to women's intention to give birth. The respondents of the research were 1,000 married women, and the research was conducted with 482 women of childbirth intention. The findings are as follows. Age of sociodemographic factors has an influence on the childbirth intention. Related to family's character, factors influencing childbirth intention are number of children, times of spouses' housework, and marital satisfaction. In addition, emotional and instrumental values of children, number of recognized public services for reduction of low fertility. In other words, the more women share housework with spouses and satisfy their marital life, the more childbirth intention of women is increased. In order to improve childbirth intention, changes of perception of gender role and sharing housework, reinforcement of social system for work and family compatibility that convert changes of perception into action, advanced marital relationship programs, extensive support for subfertility and a huge build-up of social services related to reduction of low fertility need to be provided.

본 연구의 목적은 배우자의 가사노동시간, 결혼만족도, 자녀에 대한 가치관, 전통적 성역할, 저출산 관련 사회서비스 정책이 기혼여성의 출산의향에 영향을 미치는지를 파악하고자 함에 있다. 기혼여성 1,000명을 대상으로 설문을 조사하였으며, 이중에서 향후 출산의향이 있다고 응답한 482명을 대상으로 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 인구사회학적 요인으로서 연령이 유의미하였는데, 연령이 낮을수록 출산의향이 높았다. 또한 가족에 관련한 변인을 보면, 자녀 수, 배우자의 가사노동시간, 결혼만족도가 유의미한 변인으로서 자녀 수가 적을수록, 배우자가 가사노동에 할애하는 시간이 많을수록, 결혼만족도가 높을수록 출산의향이 높았다. 그리고 자녀에 대한 가치관, 출산지원정책에 대한 인지도가 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났는데, 잔에 대해 긍정적인 가치를 부여하고 있을수록, 정부의 출산지원정책에 대한 인지정도가 낮을수록 출산의향이 높았다. 특히 정부의 출산지원정책에 대한 인지도는 출산휴가와 난임지원에 집중되어 있었고 다른 정책에 대해 잘 모르는 경우가 많았다. 따라서 출산의향을 증진시키기 위해서 성역할과 가사노동에 대한 배우자의 분담에 대한 인식의 개선과 인식변화의 이행을 위한 일-가정양립 지원체계의 강화, 그리고 난임지원에 대한 확대 및 저출산관련 서비스정책에 대한 홍보 강화가 필요하다.
