According to the research taken by the National Statistical Office, the fertility rate of a Korean fertile female is 1.17. This figure is the lowest in the world, and the reduction in the fertility rate over the last 30 years was the biggest in the world. It can be seen as a warning alarm about the effects of a low birth rate and a silver society. Assuming that there are several factors involved in this phenomenon, this study inquired into the attitude towards children, attitude towards nourishing children, attitude towards sex roles and the harmony between the jobs and families of married females, and examined the factors that influence the willingness to give birth. Final 581 copies of the survey questionnaire were used for analysis and the collected data were analysed by SPSS, Pearson's correlation analysis, t-test, ANOVA, and Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Three main conclusions were reached: Firstly, the value variables, such as sex-role attitudes and the preference for work or home, affect the willingness to give birth. Therefore, it can be said that one's values have a significant effect on these variables and the willingness to give birth. Secondly, both working morns and housewives have a strong tendency to give a birth if they are supported on child rearing. Finally, the employment of the married women itself can be a variable that can affect childbirth. In other words, the working hours affect employed married women so as sex-role attitudes, the preference between work and home, ideal number of children, and the income to housewives. Also, even in whole married women, the employment itself can be a major factor of the willingness to have a baby. Therefore, unemployed married women have more of a tendency to have children than employed married women.

본 연구는 식품 등의 표시기준 개선을 위한 기초자료 수집을 목적으로 서울지역 소비자들의 식품표시에 대한 인식도와 만족도를 조사한 것으로, 소비자 120명의 인터뷰 조사를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 식품표시에 대한 소비자 인식도 조사결과, 식품표시를 확인하는 비율은 응답자의 58.3%가 식품구매 시 표시를 확인하는 것으로 나타났으며, 식품표시를 확인하는 이유로는 유통기한을 확인하기 위해서가 60.1%로 가장 높게 나타나 소비자들이 식품을 구입할 때 식품의 안전성 여부에 가장 큰 관심을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 식품표시에 대한 만족도 조사에서는 소비자의 60.0%가 만족하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 불만족하는 이유로는 표시된 용어가 잘 이해되지 않음(30.6%), 표시된 내용이 충분하지 않음(25.8%) 등이 있었고, 식품표시 항목 중 가장 불만족하는 항목으로는 '식품첨가물 및 원재료 함량 표시(45.5%)' 였으며 그 다음으로 '제조연월일 및 유통기한 표시(20.8%)' 순이었다. 세부표시기준에 대한 이해도 및 선호도 조사에서 소비자들의 53.1%가 제조연월일과 유통기한이 모두 표시되지 않는 것에 대한 불만족도가 높았으며(53.1%), 유통기한 표시로는 소비기한(소비자가 섭취 가능한 기한)에 대한 선호도(47.5%)가 가장 높았다. 소비자 안전을 위한 주의사항 표시에 대한 만족도는 43.3%로 비교적 낮게 나타났으며, 만족하지 못하는 이유로는 눈에 띄지 않아 확인하기 어렵고(37.5%) 표시에 제공되는 정보가 충분하지 않기 때문(33.4%)으로 나타났다. 또한 소비자의 90.0%가 방사선조사에 대해 잘 모르고 있는 것으로 나타나 방사선조사 식품의 표시제가 강화되는 만큼 방사선조사에 대한 인식도와 수용도 제고를 위한 소비자 교육의 강화가 필요하리라 사료된다.

본 연구의 목적은 여성의 경제활동참가율과 가족정책변수, 양성평등가치변수가 출산율에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 1990년부터 2019년까지 30년 간 OECD회원국의 출산율 자료와 UNDP 자료, World Value Survey 자료를 시계열로 결합한 패널데이터를 분석하였다. 종속변수인 출산율에 영향을 미치는 독립변수는 1단계에서 여성의 경제활동참가율과 통제변수를 투입하였고, 가족정책변수, 양성 평등가치변수 순으로 변수를 추가하면서 각 변수들의 변화를 비교하였다. 주요 분석 결과 첫째, 여성의 경제활동참가율은 각 모형에서 출산율에 양의 영향을 보였다. 즉, 여성의 경제활동참가로 인해 출산율이 감소되는 현상이 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 가족정책변수인 부성 출산휴가기간이 출산율에 정적 영향을, 모성 출산휴가기간이 부적 영향을 미치는 상반된 효과를 보였다. 셋째, 양성평등가치변수인 성불평등지수가 높은 국가에서 출산율이 높았다. 또한 성평등 가치 수준이 높은 국가일수록 출산율이 낮았으며, 성평등 가치관을 3개 하위지표로 분리하여 분석했을 때 대학교육의 중요성에 양성 평등한 가치를 보일수록 출산율이 낮았다. 여성의 경제활동참가율이 출산율에 정적 영향을 미친 결과는 경제활동이 저출산의 원인이 아니며, 경제활동참여와 출산율이 동시에 상승할 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한 남녀의 출산휴가와 같은 정책적 지원, 그리고 남녀의 성평등 가치가 출산율을 조절할 수 있는 요인임이 확인되었다. 따라서 출산율은 가족의 시간, 소득 등 자원에 대한 배분과 관리, 자녀양육분담의 차원에서 이루어지는 의사결정이나 이를 지원하는 가족정책과 성평등 가치가 통용되는 사회적 기반 위에서 제고될 수 있을 것이다.

This study analyzed the purchase status of athleisure wear and consumers' dissatisfaction with online shopping post-COVID-19. The target population comprised female consumers in their 20s to 50s who are interested in exercise and fashion. The study investigated differences according to age. It was found that athleisure wear was purchased once every two to three months and used as sportswear and/or daily wear. Purchase information was obtained via the Internet, and purchases were made online. Design, price, wear sensation, and textiles were the most important selection criteria, and T-shirts and leggings were the most frequently purchased garments. Additionally, textile characteristics such as moisture-absorbing and quick-drying as well as elasticity were evaluated as important. Online shopping of athleisure wear has increased since COVID-19 due to the time savings, low price, opportunity to compare several products, and delivery convenience. However, consumers were dissatisfied due to the differences between the screen image and the actual product, the inconvenience of returns, exchanges, and refunds, the lack of product information, product quality, and delivery. Furthermore, it was found that pursuing value of athleisure wear differed according to age. Consumers in their 20s and 30s required athleisure wear with the characteristics of sportswear and daily or urban wear and those in their 40s and 50s required garments with good performance as sportswear. Based on consumer feedback, it is necessary for manufacturers to provide product information that can improve product reliability.
