Employing financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial action as the proxy for financial capability, we investigates whether there is any mean-difference by gender and marriage. The estimation results are as follows: first, the married women have the lowest financial knowledge among four groups especially in general financial knowledge. Second, there is the mean-difference between married women and the other groups in investment horizon and self-assessment for investment ability. Third, the fund performance of married women is the lowest compared with the other groups. The findings imply that the financial capability of married women is the lowest among four groups.

The purpose of this study is to help prepare basic data which is required for married women's vocation career education through analyzing the influence of career barriers perceived by unemployed married women on career preparation behaviors. Research subjects of this study are following. First, how are career barriers perceived by unemployed married women? Second, how are the career preparation behaviors levels of unemployed married women? Third, how is the influence of career barriers perceived by unemployed married women on career preparation behaviors? The summary of this study results are following. First, married women perceive career barriers highly in 'restriction of employment', 'discrimination', and 'child rearing environment' among 7 subordinate factors. Second, married women's average on career preparation behavior level is 3.06. When comparing with preceeding researches which analyzed career preparation behaviors levels of university students, married women's career preparation behaviors levels are relatively higher. Third, there are negative correlations between career barriers and career preparation behaviors perceived by married women. Furthermore, 'preparation/skill lack' and 'child rearing environment' factors among 7 subordinate factors of career barriers brought out negative effects on career preparation behaviors. 'Restriction of employment' factor, however, gives positive effects on career preparation behaviors. It showed that 7 subordinate factors of career barriers include 14% of career preparation behaviors.

이 연구는 여성의 삶의 질에 '일'과 '가족'이 갖는 의미가 무엇인지를 알아보기 위해서, 여성의 '신체적${\cdot}$정신적 건강'에 미치는 '일'과 '가족'의 효과를 분석하고 있다. 이 연구는 생산직 및 사무직에 종사하는 기혼 여성 902명에 대한 설문지 면접조사결과를 회귀분석방법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 기혼여성노동자의 신체적 건강과 정신건강에 미치는 직업특성${\cdot}$가족특성의 영향력에 변별성이 발견되었다. 가족특성이 기혼여성노동자의 정신건강에만 유의미한 영향을 미친 반면, 직업특성은 이들의 신체적 건강${\cdot}$정신건강 모두에 유의미한 영향을 미침으로써 여성들에게 직업이 갖는 의미가 재해석되어야 함을 암시하였다. 분석결과가 함의하는 바는 다음과 같다. 첫째, '업무스트레스'의 효과처럼 동일한 변수가 성별로 상이한 효과를 미친다는 사실에서 '일'에 대한 성별화된 사회규범이 해체되어야 한다. 둘째, 여성의 연령 증가, 자녀수 증가에 따라 정신건강이 좋아진다는 결과에서 여성에게 '가족'과 '일'의 갈등적 측면 못지않게 지원적 측면이 강화되고 있다. 셋째, 기혼여성노동자의 건강에 가장 영향력 있는 변수는 '가정형편' 변수로서, 건강의 계층화 현상에 주목할 필요가 있으며 저소득층에 대한 각별한 건강복지정책이 요구된다는 점이다.

This paper investigates the possibility that children in school limit their mothers' labor supply. The theoretical background for the possibility is that mothers may choose to stay home if their time and monetary inputs on children's quality investment are poor substitutes for each other. The empirical findings suggest that labor supply of highly educated women and those with high household income is relatively suppressed by their children in school.

This paper investigated labor force participation pattern changes of married women from 1980 to 2005. Using the micro samples of Population and Housing Census provided by the Korean National Statistical Office, the following results were obtained. The labor force participation rate of married women has substantially increased from 1980 to 2005, with some significant changes in labor supply pattern worthy of note. The most important finding concerns the highly educated women's and younger cohorts' labor supply patterns. Labor force participation rate rapidly increased among college educated married women and wives of college educated men. This is different from the stylized fact associated with married women's labor in Korea, that is, "More educated, less work." This change is more obvious among recent cohorts born from 1971-1975 and from 1976-1980. In contrast to the spouses who trigger less of an influence on married women's labor, the presence of children still proved to be a critical component.

The study aims to determine the factors associated with married working women's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in terms of general, marital, work, and health characteristics. In view of this, data was gathered from a total of 2,060 married working women who participated in the 7th wave (2017-2018) of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF), which was conducted by the Korean Women's Development Institute. The data was analyzed using SPSS 25.0. As a result of inputting the general characteristics, marital characteristics, working characteristics, and health characteristics of married women, family's economic status, diagnosed disease, perceived stress were found to have a significant effect on married working women's HRQOL. Based on the study results, educational programs and various policies to help married working women better manage their family-work conflict were proposed as a means to improve their HRQOL. This study is significant as it identified a wide range of factors that affect married working women's HRQOL and discussed health and welfare measures to improve it.

여성의 고학력화와 기혼여성의 경제활동 참여율이 날로 증가되는 현실에서 기혼여성의 건강관리 대책 마련을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자, 건강증진생활양식의 핵심 요소인 식생활과 신체활동 상태를 평가하고, 기혼여성의 건강증진생활 양식에 영향을 미치는 요인들 간의 상호관계와 각 요인들의 영향력을 파악하여 취업 여부별로 건강증진생활양식 예측모형 구축을 시도하였다. 이를 위해 대졸 이상의 기혼여성을 대상으로 인구 사회학적 특성과, 가정과 사회에서 맡고 있는 역할의 수, 각 역할에 대한 중요성 인식도 및 부담도, 가족 및 기타 가사관리자의 조력, 스트레스ㆍ우울ㆍ피로와 같은 심리적ㆍ신체적 증상과, 자아효능감, 그리고 건강증진생활양식에 대한 자료를 수집하였다.(중략)

본 논문은 기혼여성의 경제활동 참가와 경제활동 참가 이후의 노동시간 공급을 결정짓는 요인을 분석하고, 그러한 노동공급행태의 시기적 변화를 살펴보았다. 이에 의하면, 학력이 높을수록 오히려 경제활동에 참가할 확률이 떨어지며, 6세 미만 자녀가 없을수록, 타소득수준이 낮을수록 경제활동 참가확률이 높게 나타난다. 미국의 경우 임금상승이 기혼여성 노동공급증가의 주요한 원인이라는 결론이 실질적으로 모든 연구에서 반복되어 왔으나 한국의 경우 실질임금수준은 크게 상승하지 않았음에도 불구하고 기혼여성의 노동공급이 이보다 빠른 속도로 증가했다. 그러나 1992년 분석결과에서 기혼여성의 취업구조가 다소 변화하고 있음을 확인할 수 있다. 무엇보다 시장임금수준이 높을 것으로 기대되는 여성일수록 경제활동 참가확률이 높아지는 경향이 뚜렷하게 나타난다는 사실이 1985년과 비교해 주요한 특징을 이룬다. 그러한 변화는 학력이 경제활동에 미치는 음의 효과가 여전하고 노동시간으로 본 노동공급이 시장임금의 변화에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타난 점에서 상당히 완만하게 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있다.

Based on social capital theory, this study intends to understand accessed and mobilized social capital of married women with young children and the difference between two types of social capital in terms of their employment status. Factors related to accessed and mobilized social capital are also investigated. The subjects are 571 married women (284 employed and 287 unemployed) who have children younger than 5 years old. Their networks are revealed to show different composition and resource distribution according to the respective employment status. No significant difference is found in accessing social capital depending on the employment status. However, working women are capable of mobilizing more social capital for economic resources and child-care assistance than non-working women. The employment status is significant only in mobilizing social capital related to child-caring assistance. The effects of variables related to social networks of married women differ according to the types of resources sought for. The choices of married women on the employment status and child-rearing are observed in the findings of the ability to mobilize social capital for child-care assistance. The importance of kin ties and various social services for building social capital are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of burden of support for unmarried adult children on the depression of married women and the mediating effect of couple conflict in the process. To this end, 1,076 married women with baby boomer husbands and unmarried adult children were extracted based on the data from the 7th year of the Women and Family Panel (KLoWF) and analyzed by using a structural equation. Looking at the results of the analysis, first, the burden of supporting unmarried adult children had a positive(+) effect on the depression of married women, and also had a positive(+) effect on couple conflict. Second, it was found that couple conflict had a positive(+) effect on the depression of married women. Third, couple conflict was found to play a role as a partial mediator between the burden of supporting unmarried adult children and the feeling of depression. Based on the above findings, the study suggested the various programs to resolve couple conflicts and decrease the depression of married women.
