This study examined the effects of household head’s worker status change type on household income and household head’s income using a total combined sample of 2,578 households from Korea surveyed in 1998 and 2002 KLIPS(Korean Labor and Income Panel Study). Binary logit regression results showed that household incomes were likely to decrease significantly when household head’s changed worker status from a regular employee, a temporary employee or a daily worker, or an employer or a self-employed to no job status, or from a regular employee to a temporary employee or a daily worker, an employer or a self-employed, or from an employer or a self-employed to a regular employee compared to a regular employee status maintenance. In contrast, household head’s incomes were likely to increase significantly when household head’s changed worker status from a temporary to a regular employee compared to a regular employee status maintenance. Women household heads were significantly associated with the likelihood of the decrease of household head’s income compared to men household heads. Household heads beyond their forties were significantly associated with the likelihood of the decrease of household head’s income compared to household heads in their thirties age-group counterparts. Household heads with education level beyond high school graduation were significantly associated with the likelihood of the increase of household head’s income compared to household heads with the education level of high school graduation. This study shows that a more comprehesive labor policy is needed for achieving sustainable household income inflow.

한국 사회는 국제결혼 등의 원인으로 다문화사회로 급변하고 있다. 본 연구는 도시형 다문화가정 결혼이주여성의 문화적응과 식생활행태를 분석하고, 어떤 관련성이 있는지에 대해 규명하였다. 조사대상은 대전시 거주 다문화가정 89가구의 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 하였다. 이는 우리나라 다문화가정 결혼이주여성의 출신국의 비율과 유사하게, 중국(39.3%), 베트남(28.1%) 그리고 일본을 제외한 기타 국가로 나타났다. 도시에 거주하는 다문화가정 결혼이주여성의 문화적응 유형은 연령이 높을수록, 거주기간이 길수록, 자녀가 있을수록 통합유형 성향이 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 거주기간과 자녀의 유무는 동화유형에 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 베트남 출신 결혼이주여성의 경우 다른 집단에 비해 주변화유형으로 나타났다. 문화적응에 영향을 미치는 식생활행태 관련 변인을 분석한 결과, 식사 태도, 식사의 다양성 그리고 생활과의 균형성 및 식생활행동은 문화적응 유형 중 통합유형과 유의적으로 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 사회인구학적 변인과 식생활행태 변인의 문화적응에 대한 영향력 분석을 한 결과, 통합유형인 문화적응에서 거주기간(31.4% 설명력), 한국어 사용 능력(34.2% 설명력), 그리고 식사의 다양성(33.5% 설명력)이 유의적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 도시형 다문화가정 결혼이주여성의 문화적응은 통합유형에 있어, 식생활행태가 중요한 변인으로 작용함을 알 수 있었다. 이에 도시형 다문화가정 결혼이주여성의 긍정적인 문화적응은 올바른 식생활행태 확립이 요구되며, 이를 위하여 관련 분야에서의 다양한 연구 및 프로그램 개발 및 실행이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

(2) Most of the workers(86.7%) are full time workers, 52% of the respondents have working experiences in other factories. More than 65% have fewer than 5 years working experience. (3) The awareness of exposure at noise was 33% of respondents, it was significantly different by skilled status. The awareness of exposure at dust, other hazardous material was each 13.3%, 12.4% of respondents. (4) 26% of them are unsatisfied with their working cognitions and 43.7% of them are unsatisfied with their welfare in occupational system unsatisfactory rate of promotion is higher in the unmarried workers(45.6%), skilled workers(47.2%), full time workers(47.4%), long term workers(50%), and awareness group of exposure hazardous material(51.3%), compared to married women workers, unskilled workers, part-time workers, short term workers and unawareness group of exposure at hazardous materials. (5) The index of working satisfaction is rated on a scale of 1 to 10 with the higher point indicating higher satisfaction. Among the selected variables, marital status, working status, the awareness of exposure at hazardous materials, were statistically significant with the index of working satisfaction. (6) By multiple regression analysis showed that the determinant factors of index of working condition were health index, the awareness of exposure at dust, the awareness of exposure other hazardous materials, marital status and working period. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between the awareness of exposure at hazardous material the index of working satisfaction. Therefore if the workers are less exposed to the hazardous material and are educated properly they will be more satisfied with their work thus improving their health and productivity. Finally, with the result of this study, there is a great need for the development of a health promotion program and a welfare policy for small-scale factories.
