Purpose - The objective of this research is to investigate how lowering labor market frictions for female workers affects corporate social responsibility (CSR). Design/methodology/approach - We utilize the staggered adoption of state-level Paid Family Leave (PFL) acts in the U.S. These acts provide significant flexibility for female employees by mandating paid leave for a family or medical events. Our study is based on a sample of 30,027 publicly traded firms in the U.S. from 1991 to 2012. We employ a difference-in-differences research design, considering treated firms as those headquartered in states that enacted PFL laws. Findings - We find that there is a significant increase in the firms' CSR performance following the adoption of the PFL, suggesting that lowering the labor market frictions for female workers encourages firms to invest in CSR initiatives. Research implications or Originality - This study informs policy makers that PFL enables firms to reduce costly employee turnover and results in an increase in CSR performance.

본 연구는 육아휴직을 사용했음에도 퇴사를 하게 된 여성들의 퇴사과정을 살펴봄으로써, 퇴사여성들의 일터와 가정의 어떤 배경들이 육아휴직제도의 정책시나리오를 거슬러 이들의 일-가정 양립을 방해하는 힘으로 작용했는지를 짚어보는 데 그 목적이 있다. 육아휴직제도는 여성이 출산 육아로 노동시장을 떠나게 되는 현상을 막기 위한 대표적인 일-가정 양립 정책이다. 그러나 육아휴직을 이용한 후에도 일과 가정을 병행하지 못하고 결국 퇴사하게 되는 사례들이 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 육아휴직제도의 본질적 목표가 여성노동자의 노동시장 복귀이니만큼, 정책목표를 온전히 달성하기 위해서는 육아휴직 사용 이후에 퇴사에 이르게 된 경위에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구는 육아휴직 사용 이전부터 퇴사를 계획했던 여성 4명(A집단)과 육아휴직 사용 이전에는 일-가정 양립을 위해 직장복귀를 원했지만 결국 퇴사를 하게 된 여성 4명(B집단)의 사례를 중심으로 이들의 퇴사과정을 분석했다. 나아가 이들의 퇴사원인이 일과 가정 중 주로 어디에서 기인하고 있는지를 중심으로 A집단을 직장회피형과 가정순응형, B집단을 직장희생형과 가정선택형으로 세분화해보았다. 이를 통해 여성에게 비친화적인 노동시장의 근무여건과 고착화된 성별분업이 여성노동자들이 육아휴직 전부터 퇴사를 결심하게 되는 주요배경이 되고 있으며, 육아휴직 사용자에 대한 직장의 부당처우와 육아휴직 중 재발견하게 된 모성애가 육아휴직 이후에 여성노동자들이 퇴사를 선택하게 되는 힘으로 작용하고 있음을 발견할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 결론에서는 여성 노동자들을 직장에서 밀어내고 가정으로 끌어당기는 위와 같은 힘들을 완화시키고 일-가정 균형을 이루기 위해서는 어떤 대책들이 보완되어야 하는지에 대해 논의해보았다.

Background: This study investigated the awareness and utilization of maternity protection and work-family balance support policies among dental hygienists in dental hospitals and clinics. Methods: We surveyed 200 dental hygienists. Twenty-two who did not meet the inclusion criteria were excluded, leaving 178 participants for analysis. The self-administered 48-item questionnaire gathered information on demographics, workplace details, policy awareness, government knowledge, and suggestions for improvement. Results: Awareness of maternity and family support programs significantly differed with age, marital status, number of children, and clinical experience. Dental hygienists in general hospitals and university hospitals reported greater ease of utilizing these policies compared to those in dental clinics. Among the participants, 27.7% took pre- and post-maternity leave, 26.6% took parental leave, 16.9% had reduced working hours during pregnancy, 15.8% had reduced working hours during childhood,and 8.5% during family leave. To promote program uptake, participants suggested mandatory implementation across workplaces (68.4%), expanded support for substitute workers (48.6%), and increased education and promotion of government support (42.4%). Conclusion: While most dental hygienists were aware of the Maternity Protection and Work-Family Balance Assistance Policy, utilizing it proved challenging due to several factors. Organizational policies or practices may not fully implement this policy, while workplace culture could discourage its use. Unfair treatment and the lack of available substitutes further hindered access. To prevent career interruptions for dental hygienists due to pregnancy, childbirth, childcare, and family care, and to maintain career continuity, the dental community and government should establish a multifaceted social support system. This system should prioritize several key areas: strengthening policy promotion, fostering a family-friendly atmosphere, improving management and supervision of policy implementation and developing a robust support system for substitute personnel.

본 연구는 독일 가족정책의 젠더적 성격을 파악하기 위해 가족정책의 실천영역을 가족의 임금노동과 양육노동의 지원으로 제한하고 현금, 시간, 보육인프라로 구분하여 분석해 보았다. 그리고 정책의 결과로 나타나는 출산율과 여성취업률의 변화를 살펴보았다. 독일은 가족과 아동에 대한 사회복지지출비용 중 현금급여의 비중이 유럽 내의 국가들 중 상위집단에 속하면서도 아동수당의 보수적 지향성과 부모시간 기간의 양육수당의 적절성 측면에서 임금대체의 수준이 낮아 성분업의 유지가능성이 여전히 완화되지 않고 있었다. 그리고 0-2세 아동에 대한 공보육 지원의 수준이 낮아 노동자의 가족과 직장의 양립에 있어 양 영역의 순차적 양립은 가능하나 동시적인 병행이 불가능한 성분업적 특질이 형성되고 있었다. 따라서 앞으로는 소득수준과 연동하여 현금급여체계를 재구성하고, 노동시장모델 또한 개인노동자모델로 전환하여 근로자로서의 부모의 양육욕구를 젠더적 관점에서 담아낼 수 있는 시간정책과 보육인프라정책의 강화가 요구되고 있었다.

본 연구는 육아휴직제도가 출산에 미치는 정책효과에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 육아휴직제도는 1차적으로 일과 가정의 양립을 취지로 하고 있다. 그러나 출산율 제고의 문제가 부각되면서 육아휴직제도 또한 출산장려책의 일환으로 기대되면서 육아휴직의 대상과 급여 혜택 또한 강화되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 배경 하에서 복지패널 자료를 활용하여 가임기 여성 및 그 배우자의 육아휴직 혜택 이후 출산효과를 이중차분의 방법을 활용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 육아휴직제도의 정책효과는 출산에 관한 한 아직까지 긍정적이지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과는 출산율 제고에 있어서 육아휴직제도의 실질적인 확대 외에 우리나라의 가정친화적인 노동환경 재정립의 필요성을 시사하고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between family-friendly policies in working places and the childbearing intentions of married-employed women. The analysis included 415 married working women from the 2012 wave of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family. The factors influencing the childbearing intentions of the women were age, education, number of children under age 18, childbirth leave, childcare facilities, and flextime. The women whose work-places provided childbirth leave had stronger childbearing intentions. The women under age 35 had stronger childbearing intentions when their work-places had flextime policies. In conclusion, my recommendation is that the government should pay more attention to the micro-personal factors, such as the Family-friendly Workplace Practices proposed in this study, when executing policies to reverse the current trend of low fertility.

This study attempted to investigate school participation experiences and the need for a school-participation leave for employed parents. A school participation leave is a paid or unpaid leave that guarantees workers to take time-off for school participation regarding children's educational purposes. We reviewed cases of school participation in other countries. There are similar types of educational leave in Russia, Greece, Italia, Sweden, Swaziland, and South Africa. We collected survey data from 1,194 employed parents (794 fathers and 400 mothers) whose children attend kindergarten, elementary, middle, or high-school. This study compares school participation experiences and needs by parent gender. The results showed that 62 % of the fathers and 80 % of the mothers participated in any type of school meetings and events at least once in the previous year. Fathers attended school events such as art festivals and mothers attended PTA meetings, school events, and parent-teacher conferences. The most frequently mentioned reason for non-participation among parents was related to work. A total of 87.7% of the parents agreed that a school-participation leave should be introduced. The results of the logistic regression showed that mothers compared to fathers, college graduates compared to post-secondary graduates, those whose children attended preschool or elementary school compared to high school, and those who had longer working hours were more likely to agree on the introduction of school participation leave. In conclusion, a policy intervention such as school-participation leave should be considered to provide employed parents time to be involved in their children's education and participate in school activities.

The purposes of this study are to provide background information to develop a family-friendly work policy and to increase the effectiveness and feasibility of this policy. We surveyed the performance of family-friendly work policies, and workers‘ needs and utilizations of 17 family-friendly work policies. We also examined the factors that influence the utilization of family-friendly work policies. The study sample consists of 197 working mothers who have at least one child under age 10. The major findings are as follows: 1) The most-needed family-friendly work policy among working mothers is child care leave 2) Of those family-friendly work policies that are not currently provided, the most-needed policy is family care leave 3) The size of firms, the provision of substitutes, and 40-hour work schedules are statistically significant variables that influence the provision of necessary family-friendly work policies and 4) In addition, the work place culture is a very important factor related to the utilization of work- and family-friendly policies.
