Abstract

This study is a descriptive survey study that applies the planned behavior theory to identify the factors influencing the childbirth intention of unmarried men and women. Data were collected from April 05 to April 23, 2021 for 168 unmarried men and women. As a result of the study, in general characteristics, male, old, highly educated, occupational, and non-regular workers had statistically significantly higher childbirth intentions. As a result of examining the correlation between the variables constituting the theory of planned behavior(TPB), it was found that the more positive the attitude toward childbirth, the greater the subjective norm, and the greater the perceived behavior control, the higher the intention to give birth. Multiple regression analyses showed that the factors affecting fertility intention on men and women. The factors affecting fertility intention in men was attitude, with an explanatory power of 62.2% and the factors affecting fertility intention in women were attitudes and perceived behavioral control, and the explanatory power of these variables on fertility intention was 69.0%. In order to increase the intention to give birth, a comprehensive approach is needed, and the research is meaningful in that the results of this study provided basic data in the development of policies and education programs related to low birth rates in the future.

본 연구는 미혼 남녀의 출산의도에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하기 위해 계획된 행위이론을 적용한 서술적 조사연구이다. 자료 수집은 미혼 남녀 168명을 대상으로 2021년 4월 5일부터 4월23일까지 이루어졌다. 연구결과 일반적 특성에서 남성이 여성보다 출산의도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며, 연령과 학력이 높을수록, 직업이 있는 경우, 비정규직인 대상자의 출산의도가 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 계획적 행위이론(TPB)을 구성하는 변수 간의 상관관계를 살펴 본 결과, 출산에 대한 태도가 긍정적일수록, 주관적 규범이 클수록, 지각된 행위통제가 클수록 출산의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 츨신의도에 미치는 요인을 남성, 여성으로 나누어 분석한 결과, 남성의 경우 출산 태도만이 출산의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 출산의도에 대한 설명력은 62.2%이었다. 여성의 경우 출산 태도와 지각된 행위통제가 출산의도에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치며 이들 변수들의 출산의도에 대한 설명력은 69.0%이었다. 미혼남녀의 출산의도를 높이기 위해서는 장기적이며 포괄적인 접근이 필요하고, 향후 저출산 관련 정책 및 교육 프로그램 개발에 있어 본 연구결과가 기초자료를 제공하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다고 본다.
