Applying the data from 64 single(26 men and 38 women) and 71 childless married men and women(37 men and 34 women) aged between 30 and 45, this study is to understand their future fertility intention. For this purpose, ideal and real number of children that participants plan to have were compared using paired t-test. Second, demographic variables(sex, age, marital status), child care related variables(thoughts about caring children, child care value), individual characteristics(gender role attitude, relation orientation) and social context variables(perceived economic condition, recognition of low fertility policies) were included in a stepwise regression model to explain expected number of children participants plan to have in the future. Results showed that ideal number of children participants wish to have was significantly higher than real number of children they expect to have in the Korean society. The stepwise regression model explained 35% of the variance of the dependent variable. Among four types of variables, child care related variables most powerfully explained expected number of children study participants plan to have in the future. Finally, age, child care value, gender role attitude, and relation orientation significantly explained expected number of children in the future.

2000년대 후반에 들어서, 경제 사회현상을 분석, 예측하기 위한 마이크로 시뮬레이션(Micro Simulation) 기술이 미래 핵심기술로 등장하고 있다. 마이크로 시뮬레이션을 적용하면 각 분야별 쟁점 과제에 대한 다차원 정책실험을 수행할 수 있으며, 이를 통하여 중장기적인 전략설정과 더불어 단기적인 정책수립에 대한 의사결정이 가능해진다. 복잡한 사회현상의 본질을 파악하고 여러 가지 정책적 대안을 실험해 볼 수 있는 마이크로 시뮬레이션 기술을 소개하고, 저출산, 고령화 등 사회변화에 선제적으로 대응하는 정책적 대안을 실험할 수 있는 인구동태 마이크로 시뮬레이션 기술현황과 개발방향을 소개한다.
