This study examines household expenditure patterns for single-parent families to better understand the decision-making process and to consider the appropriateness of the decisions on monetary allocation. This study investigates the household expenditure patterns and the determinants of expenditure patterns for single-father families as compared to those for single-mother families. A series of analyses of the data, which was gathered from the 2015 Single-parent Family Survey on household expenditures, were conducted. The results show that there are differences in the household expenditure volumes and patterns between single-father families and single-mother families. Differences in the categories of expenditure and variations in the share that was allocated for each expenditure category in single-father families as compared to in single-mother families were both statistically significant. Disparities were found in seven categories of household expenditure between single-father families and single-mother families. The amount allocated from total expenditures for each expenditure category was also significantly different between single-father families and single-mother families in regards to clothing, home equipment, housing, water/light/heat costs, transportation, and telecommunication. The determinants of the total household expenditure for single-parent families were age, level of education, number of family members, public transfer, household income, assets, and debt.

Household financial management included the following five categories: financial planning, consumption/expenditure management, savings/investment management, risk management and credit management. Data for this research was collected through 610 married women living in Seoul, Korea. Using SAS-PC program, Chi-square and t-test Analyses were executed. The results showed that dual- and single-income households tend to have different perspectives on marital role division in household management. Wives of dual-income households had more significant roles in financial management rather than wives of single income households. Especially, wives of dual-income managed more active credit management and saving/investment management. On the other hand, wives of single-income households played a major role in making decision over cheap items than that of wives of dual-income household.

최근 20~30년사이 수도권 1인가구의 비율은 크게 증가하였으며, 총 인구의 감소에도 불구하고 1인가구수는 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 국내 교통분야에서는 1인가구 증가가 교통분야에 미치는 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 수도권 가구통행실태조사를 활용하여 가구 속성별로 가구규모에 따른 통행발생의 차이를 알아보기로 하였다. 연구방법으로는 수도권 가구통행실태조사 자료에서 가구 속성과 가구원 속성, 통행 속성에 대하여 가구규모별로 통행발생횟수(/일/인)을 산출하였다. 유의성검토를 거쳐 1인가구와 타 규모(2인 이상)가구와의 비교를 통하여 1인가구만의 통행발생 특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과로는 전체적으로 1인가구의 통행발생은 타 규모 가구의 통행발생보다 높게 나타났으며, 주택종류, 거주형태, 지역, 통행수단 속성에서도 차별된 통행발생 특성을 보여주었다. 본 연구의 결과가 1인가구의 통행발생 특성을 반영한 통행발생모형 구축 등 교통정책개발에 이바지하길 기대하여본다.

The purpose of this study was to explore housing cost burden of young single- or two-person households in the United States who have recently moved for job-related reasons. Total 580 households were selected from 2009 American Housing Survey public-use microdata for data analysis. The findings are as follows: (1) Targeted single-person households were characterized as younger households with higher educational attainment, lower household income, and greater proportion of renters, multifamily housing residents and households with housing cost burden than other households; (2) two-person households showed a higher income level and lower housing cost burden; (3) characteristics that showed significant influences on housing cost burden were household size, householder's age, gender, race and educational attainment, household income level and tenure type; and (4) a linear combination of household size, household income, whether or not a low-income household, residency in metropolitan area, and home structural type were found to be most efficient to predict a single- or two-person household's housing cost burden regardless of the household size.

올해 초 통계청에서 발표한 '한국 사회동향 2012' 보고서에 따르면, 2010년을 기준으로 한국의 1인 가구가 전체 가구 중 23.9%로 4인 가구의 22.5%를 앞지른 것으로 나타났으며, 2011년까지 가장 많던 2인 가구를 제쳤다. 금융업계와 통계청에 따르면 지난해 국내 1인 가구는 25.3%로 총 453만 9,000가구 이상으로 추정된다. 즉 우리나라의 네 가구 중 한 가구는 1인 가구인 셈이다. 더 나아가 통계청의 '2010~2035년 장래 가구 추계 보고서'에 따르면 우리나라는 2035년 1인 가구가 세 가구 중 한 가구로 해당되는 상황인 34.3%까지 증가할 것으로 추측하고 있다. 우리나라의 1인 가구의 증가원인은 혼인율 감소, 이혼율 증가, 저 출산, 고령층의 증가 등으로 간추려 나타낼 수 있다. 또한 우리나라뿐만 아니라 전 세계에서도 1인 가구는 증가 추세이다. 2011년 기준으로 1인 가구는 2억 4200만 가구로 그 비율이 13%에 달했고 중국과 미국의 1인 가구 비율은 30%에 달하며 스웨덴, 노르웨이, 필리핀, 덴마크는 전체 가구의 약 40% 수준까지 이른다. 현재까지는 경제협력개발기구(OECD) 평균에 미치지 못하고 있지만, 매우 빠른 속도로 상승하는 것으로 볼 때 이를 뛰어 넘을 것으로 예상된다. 이에 정부에서는 1인 가구 급증을 주시하며 대책 마련에 힘쓰고 있다. 이런 내용을 통계수치로 나타낸 자료를 통해 1인 가구의 특징을 알아낼 수 있다. 또한 상관분석을 이용하여 1인 가구와 소비트렌드 사이간의 연관성을 파악할 수 있으며 미래의 소득수준에 따른 1인 가구의 증가율을 예측할 수 있다.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the economic conditions and needs of single-parent families are different between single-mother and single-father families, and also how they are dependent on household composition. The data for this study were drawn from the 1st Korea Welfare Panel Study and analyzed by frequencies, means, ${\chi}^2$, t-test, F-test, and logistic regression with the STATA 9.1 program. The major findings are as follows: (1) Single-parent families are more likely to live in a three-generation household than married couple families. (2) The composition of a three-generation household of single-parent families is affected by sex, age, education, type of marital disruption, the type of employment of single parents and the age of the last-born child. (3) The income-to-needs ratio is not significantly different depending on the sex of the single parents and their household composition. However, material hardship is significantly low in three-generation household single-parent families. (4) There are differences between three-generation single-parent families and independent single-parent families in income sources: The ratio of public transfer to total incomes is higher in three-generation households than independent households, while the ratio of private transfer to total incomes is higher in independent households.

한국사회 4가구 중 한 가구가 혼자 사는 가구이다. 전체가구 중 1인가구는 23.9%를 차지하고 있으며, 대도시 서울 역시 혼자 사는 사람들이 24.4%에 달한다. 1인가구라 불리는 이들의 비율은 20년 전에는 9%에 지나지 않았으며, 30년 전에는 단지 4.5% 사람들만 혼자 살았다. 지금까지 우리사회 가구의 전형적인 모습으로 여겨진 부모와 2명의 자녀로 구성된 4인 가구는 23.5%로 줄었다. 대도시 서울에서 혼자 사는 사람과 2인가구를 합한 소규모 가구가 전체 가구의 절반에 이르는 47%에 달하고 있다. 지난 시간동안 발생한 1인가구의 급속한 증가 원인은 무엇일까? 이 글은 이 질문에 답하기 위한 현황 분석과 정책으로 구성되어 있다. 우리 사회의 1인가구 증가는 한 가지 이유만으로는 설명하기는 어려운 복합적인 이유가 자리 잡고 있다. 여성의 경제활동 증가, 젊은 세대의 결혼관 변화에 따른 비(非)혼과 만혼의 증가, 한국의 교육환경에 기인한 기러기 가족 증가, 이혼·별거 등 경제적 빈곤함에 기인한 가족 해체 등에 기인한 비(非)자발전 독신층 증가, 그리고 고령화 진전에 따른 노인 독신가구의 증가 등 여러 요인들과 함께 맞물려 있기 때문이다. 따라서 서로 다른 유형의 1인가구가 존재하기 때문에 이들이 야기할 사회문제도 상이하다. 자발적 1인가구로서의 골드족을 제외한 산업예비군으로서의 젊은 1인가구, 중장년 1인가구, 고령1인가구의 '빈곤'과 '사회적 고립'이다.

This study aimed to identify and compare variables affecting life satisfaction of older women by focusing on household types and poverty levels. The study used data from the Korea Longitudinal Study of Aging administered by the Korea Labor Institute in 2006. The data for 1,017 older women ages over 65 including 427 single households and 590 couple households was analyzed. First, interaction effects of household types and poverty levels on life satisfaction were statistically significant. For the non-poverty households of older women, there was no explicit difference between single households and couple households in life satisfaction, but for the poverty households, single households were lower in life satisfaction than couple households. Second, as a result of reviewing four groups of older women (poverty-single household, poverty-couple household, non-poverty-single household, and non-poverty-couple household), besides religion, it was found that there were significant differences in age, education level, number of children, health level, residence area, and status of economic activity. Third, when analyzing variables affecting life satisfaction, common predictors for the four groups were health level and ownership of house. Older women who perceived to be healthier and owned their own homes were higher in life satisfaction. For poverty-single households, older women with over middle school graduation were also higher in life satisfaction, but for poverty-couple households, older women with over middle school graduation and more children were higher.
