In Summary, climacteric symptoms complained by middle-aged women are related to the amount of the stress of life events. Whether life events are positive of negative is not important. Yet. climacteric symptoms and stressful life events are deeply related to general characteristics. so we can not insist strongly that one be directly related to the other.

본 연구의 목적은 노부모와 성인자녀를 동시에 부양하는 샌드위치세대인 베이비부머의 삶의 만족도 영향요인에 있어서 성별 차이가 있는지 분석하는 것이다. 분석을 위한 자료는 "중년층(46-59세)의 생활실태 및 복지욕구조사(2010)" 데이터파일 가운데 1,152건을 분석 표본으로 활용하였다. 분석결과, 베이비부머의 성별에 따라 삶의 만족도 영향요인에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 여성 베이비부머의 삶의 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 배우자부모부양부담(${\beta}=-.205$), 자녀관계만족도(${\beta}=.202$), 부부관계만족도(${\beta}=.200$), 주관적 건강상태(${\beta}=.155$), 10년 후 경제생활수준에 대한 기대(${\beta}=.143$)가 유의미한 것으로 나타난 반면 남성 베이비부머의 경우 여성 모형에서 유의하지 않았던 인터넷활용도(${\beta}=.247$)의 영향력이 크고 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 부양부담이 삶의 만족도에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석결과는 남성의 삶의 만족도에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았지만 여성의 경우, 배우자부모에 대한 부양부담이 삶의 만족도에 부적(-) 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났는데 이는 부모와 자녀를 동시에 부양해야하는 베이비부머들에게 시부모부양은 여전히 부담스럽다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

도시화 및 산업화는 가족의 애정기능 증대, 친족관계 약화, 공사영역분리, 여성의 교육수준 향상 및 취업기회 증가, 부부관계의 평등성 추구 등을 통해 이혼을 증가시키는 요인으로 알려져 왔다. 혼인·이혼신고 자료와 인구주택총조사 자료를 활용하여 1970년∼1995년 동안 발생한 한국의 성별, 연령별, 시도별, 교육수준별 이혼율을 비교하였다. 이혼수준을 측정하기 위하여 조이혼율, 일반이혼율, 연령별이혼율, 연령표준화 이혼을 전체인구와 유배우인구를 대상으로 각각 산출하였고, 각종 이혼력 지표의 특성을 논의하였다. 1970년∼1995년 동안 이혼율이 3배 증가하였으며, 1995년 현재 유배우인구 천 명당 3.2건의 이혼이 발생하였다. 동기간 동안 24세 이하 연령층의 이혼율이 가장 높았고, 전 연령층에 걸쳐 빠른 속도로 이혼율이 증가하였는데, 증년층의 이혼율 증가 속도가 가장 빨랐고, 남성보다는 여성의 상대적 이혼율 증가 정도가 더 빨랐다. 시도별 이혼율은 전연령층에 걸쳐 서울, 부산, 인천, 대전, 경기, 제주도가 높았고, 강원도와 전라북도 25∼34세 연령층의 이혼율이 높았다. 교육수준별 이혼율이 남자는 초등학교 졸업집단에서, 여자는 고등학교 졸업 집단에서 가장 높았고, 남자는 대졸 이상 집단, 여자는 무학 집단에서 가장 낮게 나타났다.
