The purpose of this study is to examine the allocation of time between work and leisure by the rural elderly in Korea. The data used for this study are collected from fm households during the peak ($17^{th}\;to\;30^{th}$ June) and off-peak ($28^{th}$ November to $10^{th}$ December) farming seasons of 2005 using time diary. The sample for this study consists of 120 elderly over 65 years old living in rural area in eight provinces. The major findings are as follows. (1) The time spent of farm work by rural elderly in much longer than average work hours of elderly in general regardless of farming season. The indicates that the elderly farmers are the sustaining forces of agriculture as the urban industrial sector absorbs the younger labor force rural area. (2) There are significant differences in the work time(including form work, housework, and farm work plus house work) by gender, age, education, marital status, living arrangements. (3) The rural elderly spends less time in leisure compared to the elderly in general even during the off-peak season. (4) Especially during the peak season, time allocation between work and leisure by the rural elderly is heavily skewed, resulting in an inadequate amount of time for reproduction of labor. (5) There is only significant age difference in the amount leisure time regardless of farming season. (6) Male elderly farmers work approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour longer on farm than the females do, but the total work time (farm work plus housework) of female elderly is longer than that of the male elderly. There is no significant gender difference in the amount of leisure time during the peak season, whereas the men have more leisure than the women during the off-peak season. To conclude, the gender differences in time allocation among the rural elderly are minimal. However, the rural elderly of both genders suffers from excessive work hours and heavy workload compared to the urban counterpart.

이 글은 한국사회 가족내 성 형평성과 둘째 출산과의 관계를 경험적으로 분석함으로써 한국 사회 초저출산 현상에 대한 이해를 심화시키고 정책적 이론적 함의를 도출하고자 하는 데 연구목적이 있다. 이 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 2005년 한국보건사회연구원의 "전국 결혼 및 출산동향조사" 자료를 분석하여 조사 당시 한 자녀를 둔 20-34세 기혼 여성의 둘째 출산 계획에 대한 로짓분석을 실시하였다. 조사대상 516명 가운데 둘째 출산을 할 의향이 있는 여성들은 54.7%, 282명이었다. 분석결과 여성들의 둘째 출산 계획에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수는 '자녀 터울 조절'과 '원하는 자녀 구성' 등 가족주기상의 가족계획으로 나타났다. 총가구원수가 많을수록 (90% 유의도 수준), 첫째 자녀의 성이 여아일수록 둘째 출산에 긍정적인 태도를 보였다. 여성들의 둘째 출산 계획에, 가족내 부부의 '성 형평성 요인'은 기혼 취업 여성에게서만 의미 있는 요인으로 확인되었다. 기혼 취업 여성의 경우 남편의 가사노동시간이 증가할수록 둘째 출산에 더욱 적극적이었다. 그러나 전업주부의 경우 남편의 가사노동시간이나 가사분담률과 같은 부부간성 형평성 정도는 그들의 둘째 출산 계획에 아무런 영향도 미치지 않았다. 전업주부의 경우 둘째 출산 시기를 앞당김으로써 자녀양육기간을 단축하고 이후 재취업을 꾀하는 것으로 파악되었다. 결국 가족내 성 형평성 여부가 둘째 출산 계획에 직접 영향을 미치는 기혼취업여성이나 영향을 미치지 않는 전업주부여성 모두 일과 가족생활의 양립이 어려운 상황에서 개별적인 생애전략을 취하고 있으며 일 가족생활 양립을 위한 가족내 성 형평성 증대와 사회적 지원이 요구된다고 하겠다.

이 연구의 목적은 취업여부에 따른 기혼여성의 둘째자녀 출산의도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하는 것이다. 경제학적 관점과 문화가치관 접근을 중심으로 가구소득, 교육수준, 자녀양육비, 가사노동조력, 정책 인지 및 욕구, 정서적 도구적 자녀가치관과 첫 자녀 성별 변수의 영향을 살펴보았다. 한국보건사회연구원에서 수행한 '2005년도 전국 결혼 및 출산동향조사'자료에서 한 자녀만 있는 기혼여성 690명을 추출하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 취업여성의 경우 남편의 가사노동시간이 증가할수록, 친정어머니가 생존할 경우, 사회적 지원 욕구도가 높을수록, 정서적 자녀가치관이 높을수록 출산의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 비취업여성의 경우 자녀 양육비가 낮을수록, 정서적 자녀가치관이 높을수록, 첫 자녀가 딸인 경우 출산의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구를 통해 취업여성과 비취업여성의 출산의도에 미치는 요인들이 같지 않다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 출산율 제고를 위해서는 취업여성과 비취업여성의 욕구와 현실에 맞는 정책을 마련하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

Objectives : To evaluate the association between working conditions and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Korea. Methods : We obtained data on health history, lifestyle, housework and Working conditions, such as shift work, hours standing, working time, job demand, lifting at work and at home, between August and September 2000, from self-reported questionnaires. A group of 344, occupationally active, pregnant women from 51 industries were studied. Of the women studied, 328 women were further interviewed by telephone between November 2000 and September 2001. Result : Compared with daytime work, shift work increased the risk for preform birth (an adjusted risk ratio of 2.74, 95% CI=1.02-2.62) and low birth weight (an adjusted risk ratio of 2.74,95% CI=1.02-2.02). A significantly increased risk was found for prolonged standing, with an adjusted risk ratio of preform births of 6.80 (95% CI=2.01-23.0). There were no significant differences in the incidence of spontaneous abortion between the occupational working conditions, with the enception of a previous history of spontaneous abortion. Conclusion : These findings suggest that maternal working conditions, such as shift work and prolonged standing, contribute significantly to preterm birth and low birth weight.

This study was to investigate the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders in relation to general characteristic factors, living environment factors, and work environment factors for sonographer's. For the response questions, the guidelines for musculoskeletal burden work were used. For statistical analysis, SPSS 26.0 version was used. For the common body parts of the sonographer's who responded, the prevalence was investigated by dividing the group into a group with high pain or discomfort and a group with low pain or discomfort according to the degree to which they experienced symptoms during the past 12 months. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the variance inflation factor(VIF), odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. As a result, housework hours, examination history, regular physical activity, number of patient examinations per day, and sitting posture were investigated as variables for rate musculoskeletal disorders. The sonographer's occupational group was found to have a high prevalence rate of musculoskeletal disorders like various other occupational groups. Based on the results of this study, it is judged that musculoskeletal disorders can be reduced by recognizing musculoskeletal disorders and improving work environment factors.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to develop a machine learning model to predict the subsequent childbirth intention of married women with one child, aiming to address the low birth rate problem in Korea, This will be achieved by utilizing data from the 2021 Family and Childbirth Survey conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs. Methods: A prediction model was developed using the Random Forest algorithm to predict the subsequent childbirth intention of married women with one child. This algorithm was chosen for its advantages in prediction and generalization, and its performance was evaluated. Results: The significance of variables influencing the Random Forest prediction model was confirmed. With the exception of the presence or absence of leave before and after childbirth, most variables contributed to predicting the intention to have subsequent childbirth. Notably, variables such as the mother's age, number of children planned at the time of marriage, average monthly household income, spouse's share of childcare burden, mother's weekday housework hours, and presence or absence of spouse's maternity leave emerged as relatively important predictors of subsequent childbirth intention.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in time use between Korean and American high school students. The data sources were the '2009 Time Use Survey' conducted by Korea National Statistical Office and the '2009 ATUS (American Time Use Survey)' conducted by Labor Statistics Division in the U.S.. 1,734 Korean diaries (1,311 on weekdays and 423 on Sundays) and 321 American diaries (208 on weekdays and 113 on Sundays) from high school students of 15 to 18 years of age were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and t-test were used for the statistical analysis. The time use patterns of Korean students on weekdays and Sundays were different than those of their American counterparts. On weekdays and Sundays, the sleeping time of Korean students was 2 hours less than the time of their American counterparts. Koreans studied more, nearly double the time of their American counterparts on weekdays and five times more on Sundays. The study-oriented time allocation of Korean students resulted in less leisure time than the American students. Korean students spent their leisure time of more than 30 minutes participating in social activities, media, and hobbies, and their time allocation to volunteer work and religious activities were nil. On Sundays, the time for studying by Korean students was more than five times longer than that spending by their American counterparts. Koreans used their leisure time of 6 hours and 47 minutes mainly for media, hobbies and social activities. The participation rate of volunteering by Korean students was only 0.5%, though it was 31.0% for the Americans. For a study-life balance for Korean students, it was recommended that trends toward time management and social policy should increase the time allocation to sleeping, housework, work, sports, and volunteering and decrease the time use in studying and hobbies.

This study focuses on changes in a father's role from one that is work-centered to a work-family balance, analyzing the type of father's work-family reconciliation and to compare the differences among the types. An online survey was conducted with 1,037 fathers of school-aged children. The survey subjects were assigned to a ratio of 1:2:1:1 for fathers who have a child in kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. The fathers' work-family reconciliation type was a variable composed of three categories: work-centered, family-centered, and work-family centered. In the research model of this study, the fathers' work-family reconciliation type was influenced by family characteristics(the age of first child, the number of children, dual earner, and spouse support) and work characteristics(weekly working hours, work flexibility, and leaving work on time). We analyzed characteristics of work-family reconciliation through housework time, child care time, leisure time, family meals, and time spend talking with their children. The results showed that father's work-family reconciliation type was significantly different according to the characteristics such as first child age and spouse support, work characteristics such as weekly working hours and leaving work on time. The time distribution differed significantly depending on the father's work-family reconciliation type. Therefore, a fathers' work-family reconciliation can be considered typified by the interaction of family and work characteristics. This study suggests policy implications for supporting fathers' work-family reconciliation.
