Objectives: This study examined the differences in the intention of having a second child and the related factors among Chinese and Vietnamese migrant women from the perspective of adaptation theory. Methods: Data were drawn from the National Survey on Multi-Cultural Families in 2009 and 2015. Among the total 7,615 married migrant women (Korean-Chinese, Chinese-Han, Vietnamese), those within the age group 20-39 within the first 5 years of marriage who had one child were selected. A frequency analysis, chi-squared test, and logit regression analysis were performed. Results: Different ethnic groups had different reasons for having a second child and the related factors also differed between 2009 and 2015. In 2009, after controlling the related variables, the intention of Korean-Chinese and Chinese-Han married immigrant women to have a second child was higher than that of Vietnamese women, but no such difference was found in 2015. Participation in their local community, first marriage, the gender of the first child, and whether they were living with their parents-in-law were associated with the intention of migrant women having a second child in the 2009 analysis model but these factors were not significant in the 2015 analysis model. In the latter model, the household income, a variable related to economic conditions, has a positive effect on the intention of having a second child. Conclusions: The significance of this study supports adaptation theory by addressing the similarity in the childbirth intention between recently married immigrant women and Korean women.

이 연구는 1983년 전국인구이동조사 자료 중 개인사자료를 사용하여 한국인 남녀가 결혼으로 이행해 나갈 때 결혼에 관한 규범 중 연령규범과 순서규범에 의해 어떻게 영향을 받는지를 보고자 하였다. 연령규범은 결혼적령기라는 개념으로 표현되고, 순서규범은 결혼에 이르기 위해서는 어떤 생애과정를 밟아야 하고, 어떤 조건을 충족시켜하는지를 나타내는 것으로 상정하였다. 구체적으로 이 연구에서는 결혼적령기까지 남자와 여자 모두 연령규범과 순서규범을 지키면서 결혼에 이르는 것으로 가정하였다. 결혼적령기가 지나면 남자는 여전히 결혼 전에 안정된 직장을 확보해야 하는 순서규범에 큰 영향을 받지만, 여자의 경우는 결혼직전 경제활동상태에 관계없이 연령규범에 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 가정하였다. 자료를 분석한 결과 이 연구에서 상정한 가설 모두 통계적으로 지지되었다. 이는 1983년 자료를 통해 볼 때 한국인의 결혼 및 가족생활에서 남자는 경제적인 능력을 갖추어야 하고, 반면에 여자는 규범적 연령에 보다 더 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 해석되었다.

본 연구는 청소년 자녀를 둔 가정에서 부부가 지각하는 가족체계 유형에 따라 부부간 갈등과 대천방안이 어떠한가를 알아보는 데 그 목적이 있다. 서울시와 근교에 거주하는 532쌍에 부부를 대상으로 조사한결과 부부 양반이 지각한 가족응집성과 가족적응성은 높은 편이고 부인이 남편보다 가족응집성을 더 높게 지각한다. 가족체계 유형은 HH가족이 47.9%, LL가족이 35.1% 이며, 교육수준, 직업, 결혼기간, 종교일치여부 등에 따라 차이를 보인다. 부인이 남편에 비해 갈등정도가 더 높고 신앙에 의지, 외부도움 요청, 감정표출, 회피 등 의 대처방안을 더 많이 사용한다. 가족의 응집성 및 적응성이 높을수록 부부 양방에서 부부간 갈등정도가 낮고 이성적 대처방안을 많이 사용하며 행동표출, 회피 등의 대처방안은 적게 사용한다. 따라서 가족의 응집성과 적응성이 부부 공통적으로 부부간 갈등정도 및 이성적 대처, 행동표출, 회피등의 대처방안과 선형적 관계를 보인다. 또한 가족의 응집성은 부부 공통적으로 감정표출의 대처방안과도 선형적 관계를 보인다. 가족체계 유형중 HH가족과 LL가족에서 역시 부부간 갈등정도와 대처방안 사용이 각각 차이를 보인다.

The purpose of this study is to understand how Vietnamese migrated women's family members understand cultural differences and to review the causes and types of family conflict during the acculturation. To do this, the researcher interviewed 10 cases which consist of three family members in a case: a Vietnamese migrated woman, her husband and mother in law. Research results are as follows. First, they are three main factors such as different ways to communicate, patriarchic ways of thinking and different ways of daily life which have caused family conflict. The conflict caused has been reinforced by anger and frustration against other family members. However, based on understanding on the preciousness of family and importance of inter-respect, it is still on going to find out the moderate way to manage family conflict among their family members. This study has practical and methodological significances. At policy and practice level, this research stresses on the significance of focusing on the family as a unit to be approached for policy and practice intervention. As the methodological aspect, the research tried to search the relationship among family members in the Vietnamese migrated women's family by including not only a migrated woman but also her husband and mother in law.

International marriage migrants from developing to developed countries are to seek a better economic condition. There are only a few empirical research on comparing and analyzing economic condition of marriage migrants before and after marriage. This study attempted to analyze the relationship between the cognition on the change of economic condition before and after marriage and the socio-economic characteristics of Vietnamese international marriage female migrants. About 80% of interviewees of this study were motivated to marry Korean men for economic reasons; however, their household economic level was relatively low. Reflecting the household economic level, about half the Vietnamese women considered that there was very little difference in the economic condition before and after marriage; while, the percent of women considering the current economic condition as getting better were more than 4 times of that of women considering as becoming worse. The cognition on the economic condition change before and after marriage was positively correlated with the level of education attainment of husbands and themselves, the Korean language ability, state of occupation in Korea, the level of husband's income, involvement of management of living expenses and length of residence in Korea. The occupation in Vietnam and the state of remittance were not significantly related to the cognition on the economic condition change before and after marriage. Vietnamese marriage female migrants were highly motivated to have a job out of home to improve the economic condition of their own family and natal family. Concreted alternative programs should be made to help those women to work out of home.

Purpose : This study aims to identify the influence of individual, parental, workplace, and policy variables on the intention of marriage of unmarried workers. The results of the study can be used as a basis to come up with policy and practical measures to increase these workers' intention of marriage. Methods : Data was collected from 480 participants through a questionnaire. The measuring tools in this study were tested for reliability and validity. In addition, technical statistics, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were performed by SPSS 18.0. Results : First, unmarried workers' willingness to marry was higher above the average. Second, significant differences in the unmarried workers' intention of marriage were revealed based on gender, age, level of education, total assets, and debt status. Significant associations were also found with parents' economic levels and the possibility of parental support for housing and marriage expenses. The differences in response based on employment patterns, job satisfaction, and family-friendly organizational culture were also significant. The correlation between policy variables and marriage intentions also showed the necessity of a funded housing policy and a marriage preparation policy. Third, based on the hierarchical regression analysis using personal, parental, and workplace variables to identify the factors affecting unmarried workers' willingness to marry, it is clear that gender, age, and the likelihood of parental support for housing and marriage expenses have a significant impact. A family-friendly organizational culture and funded housing policy were also significant contributors. Conclusion : The study found that the funded housing policy was the most important factor affecting unmarried office workers' willingness to marry. Additionally, the possibility of parental support for housing and marriage expenses and a family-friendly organizational culture at work were found to have an important impact on the improvement of unmarried workers' willingness to marry.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting depression among female marriage immigrants in relation to demographic, family, self-efficacy, acculturation, and physical health aspects. The subjects were 556 marriage immigrants residing in Seoul, Keong-gi, and Chung-cheong areas. 47.1% of the subjects showed $${\geq_-}16$$ of CES-D which is the cutting points on depression. The results from hierachical regression analysis indicated that family income(${\beta}=-.13$, p=.002) at the first demographic model and self-efficacy(${\beta}=-.13$, p<.001), family relationship(${\beta}=-.16$, p<.001), acculturation to Korean culture(${\beta}=-.08$, p=.05), acculturative stress(${\beta}=.31$, p<.001), and mal-physical health(${\beta}=.18$, p<.001) at the final model affected female marriage immigrants' depression. The explanatory power of these variables was 37.1%. Based on these results, social services and policies for the prevention of depression among female marriage immigrants were discussed.
