This study examines the change of female labor market structure during the last several decades, focusing the effects of demographic factors such as declining fertility and increasing educational attainment of women. Women of the recent cohort tend to postpone their first marriages, to attain higher levels of education, and to have smaller number of children than women of the old cohort. This demographic trend results in the change of the population compositions in a way that population subgroups with high labor force participation have been increased. In addition, women of each population subgroup supply their labor in the market with higher rate than their old cohort counterparts. The labor force participation rate of highly educated women, and of married women has been increased faster than that of women with low education and of unmarried women. Although childbirth is still one of the most critical barrier for the women's participation, more and more women with young children tend to work for pay than ever before. In spite of the demographic change which is supportive to the increasing labor force participation, the Korean labor market have lost its female participants for the last year of the economic restructuring, reflecting demand-side factors as well as demographic factors are essential to determine the labor force participation of women.

In recent, Korea introduced the local self-government system. And the local government tried to establish and implement plans for women. Those plans were established on the basis of not the particular environments of regional societies but similar policies of central government. Despite of geographical migrations, we can find differences of population structure and economic status among regions. As the result, most of regional policies for women were ineffective. This paper examines population structure and economic status of women by regions and recommends the long and medium direction for local policies for women. For analysis, it utilizes the 2% sample data-set of National Statistical Office's '1995 Population and Housing Census' in Korea. The findings of this paper are summarized as following; Firstly, the dependency rate of Chungchong-do, Cholla-do, Kyongsangnam-do will reach about 45% in 2000. Therefore, as soon as possible, those local government should establish the labor policies to enhance the economically active participation rate of the elderly persons and welfare policy for them. Secondly, the level of women's economic participation. Thus, local governments should set up labor market policies for women according to regional situations. For examples, in Kyonggi-do, Seoul, Daejeon, Daeku which unemployment rate of the highly educated women are relatively high, those local governments should seek the measures to tackle unemployment problem of them. Thirdly, due to the differences regional economic structure, women's employment structures differed also by region. Hence, local governments should formulate suitable plans to consider the working status of regional women's workers.

본 연구의 목적은 노년층 남성과 여성의 인구통계적 특성이 의복태도, 의복행동, 쇼핑행동에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 설문지를 통하여 나이 55세 이상의 미국 남부에 거주하는 67명의 남성과 75명의 여성이 자료분석에 이용되었다. 의복 및 쇼핑과 관련된 변수로 의복태도, 유행의사 선도력, 기성복에 대한 만족, 쇼핑관심, 점포충성도가 사용되었으며, 인구통계적 특성은 수입, 결혼여부, 사회참여도, 학력, 나이, 성으로 구성되었다. 결과로 의복태도는 미혼일수록, 사회참여도가 높을수록, 학력이 높을수록 그 수치가 높은 것으로 낱났다. 기성복에 대한 만족은 수입과 학ㄱ력이 높을수록 또 남성이 여성에 비해 만족도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 쇼핑에 대한 관심의 정도는 결혼여부, 학력, 성과 관련이 있었다. 즉 미혼일수록 교육수준이 높을수록 남성보다는 여성이 쇼핑에 관심이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그 외 유해의사선도력은 오직 성에 의해서만 영향을 받았으며, 점포충성도 역시 학력에 의해서만 영향을 받았다. 남성과 여성 각각의 차이에 대한 분석에서는 남녀에 따라 인구통계적 특성이 의복태도, 의복행동, 쇼핑행동에 미치는 영향이 다르게 나타나 남녀간의 차이를 보여주었다. 예로 남성에게 있어 결혼여부는 쇼핑관심에 영향을 미치는 중요 변수이나 여성의 경우 교육수준이 쇼핑관심에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 유통업 종사자들은 노년층 남성 중 미혼자를, 노년층 여성 중 고학력자를 주요 표적으로 삼아 마케팅 전략을 세울 필요가 있다 하겠다.

본 연구에서는 2009년 강원도 읍면동 주민등록 데이터와 탐구적 공간데이터 분석 방법의 하나인 Getis - Ord $Gi^*$를 이용하여 강원도 남녀 장수인구의 공간적 분포패턴을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 강원도의 남성인구와 여성인구의 지역적 장수도에 공간적 군집이 존재하며 장수도가 높은 지역의 군집의 경우 남성과 여성 사이에 커다란 차이가 존재함을 보이고 있다. 남성의 경우 장수도가 높은 지역이 영서지역의 접경지역을 중심으로 군집하는 반면 여성의 경우 장수도가 높은 지역이 영동 해안지역 중심으로 군집하여 분포하였다. 이 결과는 장수에 영향을 미치는 환경적(자연환경적, 사회적) 요인이 남녀에 선별적으로 작용하고 있음을 암시한다.

This study estimates how changes in the female (aged 25 to 54) labor force participation rate (LFPR) following the historical experiences of the US and Japan would alter the future trend of the female economically active population by 2065, compared to the case in which the LFPR as of 2018 will remain unchanged. According to the results, the female labor force aged 25 to 54 will increase by 14% (about 797,000) and 15% (about 831,000), respectively, by 2042 if the female LFPR should change following the past trends of the US and Japan. In particular, the increase in the labor force is expected to be pronounced among females aged 30 to 44 who currently suffer high rates of job severance. The results of this study strengthen the prediction that the on-going population changes will not reduce much the overall economically active population in the near future. The result of a simulation based on the historical experiences of Japan suggests that, as least in the near future, policy efforts to encourage female labor supply will be more effective in alleviating the potential labor-market impacts of population changes, compared to policies aiming at increasing old-age employment.

Being the most populated country in the world, China's one-child policy is its basic national policy. This basic national policy is implemented together with the Maternity Insurance, which is one of the five main social insurances in the Chinese society. The Maternity Insurance is society's way of recognizing women's contribution towards child- bearing and is of utmost important significance. However, with regard to women who are not living within the city or are not working, not only are they not the target for one-child policy, they are also unable to receive the social benefit from the Maternity Insurance. Among the conditions for payment of the Maternity Insurance is the adherence to the one-child policy. Ultimately, working women living in towns and cities adhering to the one-child policy will have a positive influence on the Maternity Insurance. However this places a restriction on reducing the discrepancies to benefit from the Maternity Insurance. On the contrary, women from the villages and those moving between towns and cities are those who really need the Maternity Insurance and yet are unable to benefit from it. While we improve on the Maternity Insurance to include this group of women, we have to at the same time consider the effect it has on the one-child policy. The reformation of the Maternity Insurance has to embody the principle of a harmonious society. It has to have a certain order in the country's national policies, so as to be included in the economic policies of towns and villages.
