Abstract

Although several studies have made and policies have formulated for an increase in women's participation in economic activities, the participation rate of women in economic activities in Korea is only 50% and much lower than in other advanced countries. This study aims to analyze the factors that affect women's continuance intention in economic activities including their motivation for economic activities, women's perception of work, and government support recognition. We empirically analyze and examine such factors and the moderating effects of family support. The survey was conducted on women nationwide to be distributed evenly among various age groups, ranging from those in their 20s to those in their 50s. The results of the empirical analysis based on the data collected on a total of 406 people were as follows. First, the motivation for economic activities including economic and self-realization motivation, women's perception of work, and government support was seen as having a significantly positive effect on women's Continuance Intention in Economic Activities. Second, the impact of women's work perception on their continuance intention in economic activities varied depending on the level of family support, and its moderating effect was confirmed. But there was no moderating effect of family support between economic and self-realization motivation, government support recognition, and the women's continuance intention for economic activities To increase women's continuance intention for economic activities, both support for work-family compatibility policies and institutional support should be provided. Government support will also be needed in order to enable women with abundant experience to participate in economic activities.

여성의 경제활동 참여 증가에 대한 다양한 정책과 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 한국 여성의 경제활동 참가율은 현재 50% 수준에 불과하여 주요 선진국에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 실정의 수준에 머물러 있다. 본 연구는 여성의 경제활동 지속의지에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 연구로 여성의 경제활동에 대한 동기, 여성의 일에 대한 인식, 지원제도 등과 같은 여성의 경제활동 지속의지에 대한 영향관계에서 각종 요인들과 가족지지의 조절 효과에 관한 영향요인을 실증적으로 분석하고 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 전국에 거주하는 근로여성을 대상으로 20대부터 50대까지 다양한 연령층의 근로여성 406명을 대상으로 설문 조사하였으며, 동 설문조사를 중심으로 실증 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 경제적 및 자아실현 동기 등 경제활동 동기, 여성의 일에 대한 인식, 지원제도는 여성의 경제활동 지속의지에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여성의 일 인식이 경제활동 지속의지에 미치는 영향은 가족지지의 정도에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타나 조절 효과가 있는 것으로 확인 되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 가족지지의 중요성을 통해 여성의 경제활동 지속의지를 높이기 위해서는 일가정 양립 지원정책에 대한 정책적 지원이 필요하다.
