This paper examines the relationship between economic dependence and gender differences in housework in Korea. There are three explanatory alternatives for the relationship; economic rule of exchange, gender display perspective and deviant neutralization. We analysed both 2004 and 2009 time use survey data. The findings show the significant gender differences in time spent on housework that wives spend much more time on housework than husbands. However, among couples with non-normative gender roles, in some cases the more economically powerful wives spend more time on housework than breadwinner wives with weaker economic power, although such cases are rare. Rather, it is appropriate to conclude that, the more economically independent the wives, the less time they spend on housework; this is also the case for husbands. Overall, the Korean case shows what the economic exchange theory predicts. Thus, improvements in working wives' economic power will lead to gender equity in the division of housework.

The importance of time grows greater these days. For that reason, much research has been conducted to investigate time use. In particular, time spent in housework has been a focus in the human ecology. This study aimed to look into the field of research about time spent in housework from 1991 to 2004. To conduct the inquiry, 35 research projects were analyzed by subject. It turned out that most of the research studied the actual state of time use and related variables. Secondly, the research was classified by the measurement method, such as who wrote the time log or questionnaire, what type of response the researcher wanted and what kind of recording method was used. In 30 research projects, respondents wrote in their time logs and questionnaires by themselves. A few research projects presented certain types of behavior as examples of the actions in everyday life. For the recording method, 22 of the projects employed the time log method and 11 used questionnaires. Thirdly, all the research was categorized by the respondent of each project. 14 projects were targeted .at housewives and 14 were for married couples. Lastly, the definition of time spent in housework was used to consider these 35 studies. Most of the research studies defined the 'time spent in housework' as the total amount of the time spent in eating, clothing, housing, family care and household management.

본 연구의 첫 번째 목적은 아내 소득기여도가 맞벌이 부부의 가사시간이 영향을 미치는지 확인하는 것이다. 두 번째 목적은 아내 소득기여도 효과에 대한 조사시기 조절효과를 살피는 것이다. 이를 위해서 2004년부터 2019년까지의 통계청 생활시간조사를 분석하였다. 분석대상은 20세 이상 60세 미만 맞벌이 부부이다. 종속변수는 맞벌이 부부의 가사시간이며, 분석방법은 토빗 분석이다. 분석 결과 세 가지 사실들을 발견하였다. 첫째, 아내 소득기여도와 아내 가사시간 사이에는 U자형 관계가 있었다. 둘째, 시간이 흐르면서 아내 소득기여도와 아내 가사시간 사이의 U자형 관계는 점점 더 강해지고 있었다. 셋째, 아내 소득기여도가 증가할수록 남편 가사시간은 증가하지만 2019년 이전까지 남편의 가사시간은 사실상 0에 가까웠다. 이상의 결과들은 맞벌이 부부의 가사분업을 이해하기 위해서는 경제학적 관점이 아닌 젠더적 관점이 더 유용함을 보여준다.

This study investigated the factors influencing married men's time allocation in housework. A multidimentional theoritical approach employing the perspectives of time availability, relative resourse, sex-role ideology was employed to explain variations in husbands' participation in housework. In addition, the effects of several socio-demographic variables were investigated. Data for 226 cases were gathered from using structured qustionnaire and time diary. Results indicated that the sex-role ideology perspective was significantly supported, and the time availability perspective was partially supported. On the other hand, no significant evidence was found for the effect of relative resourse on husbands' housework. The age of husbands in socio-demographic variables had a significant effect on the amount of husbands' housework time.

본 연구는 "2014 생활시간조사" 데이터를 이용하여 부부의 시간배분 결정요인에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대체로 남편의 육아 및 가사시간은 아내에 비하여 매우 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 아내의 임금이 높고, 어린 자녀가 있을 경우 남편의 육아 및 가사시간이 증가하였다. 아내 시간배분의 경우는 주로 배우자(남편)의 임금에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났는데, 남편의 임금이 증가할수록 아내의 노동시간은 감소하며, 가사시간은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 육아시간은 아내와 남편 모두의 임금에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 아내의 임금이 증가할 경우에 남편의 육아 가사시간이 같이 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 시간배분의 상관관계에서 아내의 노동시간과 남편의 가사시간은 보완관계에 있었으나, 아내와 남편의 가사시간은 대체관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 곧 아내가 일을 많이 하여 생긴 가사일의 부족분을 남편이 채우게 되지만, 집안일을 부부의 누군가가 한다면 다른 한 쪽은 안하게 된다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 주말에는 이러한 관계가 크게 변하게 되는 것을 발견할 수 있었다.
