This study is to understand the determinants affecting women's fertility behavior (additional fertility plan) using the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women & Families of 2007. Patterns of married women's life courses are divided into five groups depending on family role and economic activity: family-centered (no work experience) type, latent M type, M type, work-family reconciliation type, and first job entry type. This study performs a binomial logistic regression analysis and the key findings from the study are summarized as follows. First, five distinctive patterns show the different composition: family-centered type (4.5%), latent M type (69.6%), M type (10.4%), work-family reconciliation type (7.4%), and first job entry type (8.1%). Second, socio-economic characteristics, husband characteristics, and value characteristics are statistically significant to additional fertility behavior ; however, institutional character is not significant. Finally, significant factors affecting additional fertility plans vary in different patterns of life courses. Based on these results, this study suggests some policy implications and future research directions.

This paper was examined socio-demographic characteristics influencing married women's fertility plans in Korea. Few studies have focused on fertility plans by using census data, and therefore this study employs 2010 census 2% sample data. It focuses on differential characteristics influencing not only whether women have plans for additional children but also how many additional children women plan to have. Women's age, age at marriage, employment status, number of children, and number of sons are consistently associated with their fertility plans and planned number of additional children. The educational level is positively related to plans for additional children for both men and women, and the effect weakens or disappears with an increase in the planned number of additional children. The result showing consistent positive effect of the number of sons reflects son preference in Korea. Positive effects of women's high educational attainment and employment status on fertility plans may reflect the importance of economic stability but requires further research.

저출산 현상의 지속과 심화, 그리고 그것이 갖는 사회적 파장이 부각됨에 따라 출산관련연구가 다시 활기를 띠고 있다. 특히 최근에는 IMF 위기라는 전사회적 현상 속에서 개인의 출산행위가 어떻게 변화하는가에 대한 연구들이 주목을 받고 있다. 이 연구는 기존연구들을 바탕으로 출산행위에 관련된 요소들을 사회인구학적 변수와 경제적 상황, 출산관련 생활사건변수, 시부모 및 친정부모 생존여부, 현존자녀 및 이상자녀변수 등으로 파악하였다. 그러나 기존연구들과는 달리 출산아수가 아니라 출산계획을 분석대상으로 하는 한편, 현재의 출산아수별로 출산계획과 그에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 분석하고 있다. 한국보건사회연구원이 실시한 '전국 결혼 및 출산 동향조사'에서 35세 이하 기혼여성들을 추출해 분석해 본 결과, 첫째아 계획은 보편적인 현상이며 둘째아 계획에는 가구경제의 안정성, 양육보조자의 존재 등이 중요한 요소임을 발견했다. 이는 둘째아 계획이 주어진 경제와 양육여건에 따라 선택적으로 이루어질 수 있음을 의미한다. 한편, 셋째아 계획은 남아의 존재여부와 이상자녀의 성 구분이 중요한 것으로 나타나, 남아(선호)가 여전히 상당 역할을 하고 있음을 발견했다. 이는 출산아수에 따라 출산계획의 기제가 차별적임을 의미한다. 출산계획의 출산아수별 차별적인 기제는 출산행위에 대한 깊이를 더할 것으로 예상된다. 또한 이 같은 기제를 접근하는 데 있어 계량적인 접근방식과 더불어 심층적이고 체계적인 질적 연구(특히 집단초점토론)가 병행되어야 할 것이다.

To develop policies regarding fertility and pregnancy that will be effective in preventing further declines in fertility rates in the context present-day Korea, current policies in Japan were analyzed and compared with those now being implemented in Korea. This study was structured to involve (a) comparison of maternal health projects in Korea and Japan, and (b) comparison of infertility support policies based in regional cities in Korea and Japan. Korea's Health Plan 2030 emphasizes strengthening healthcare for high-risk pregnant women, expanding investments to benefit vulnerable groups, and establishing a support system for infertile couples. In Japan, government programs involving treatment targeting infertility specifically were implemented nationwide in 2006. Wide dissemination of accurate knowledge related to pregnancy is emphasized. Also, counseling centers specializing in infertility were established by 67 local governments. We have confirmed that Korean policies include decentralization, while Japan is implementing the central government's infertility policy uniformly in all regions. Japan also adjusted its policy out of concern that problems related to infertility and childbirth will worsen due to the social disaster of COVID-19. The results indicate that providing additional support for psychological counseling may be preferable to increasing the number of in-vitro fertilization procedures. The physical burden on women may be minimized by benchmarking policies in Japan. Step-by-step application of these procedures should be systematically supported to achieve the best results.

본 연구는 저출산 원인을 파악하기 위해 기혼남성의 인구통계학적 변수, 양육 부담감, 역할 만족도, 출산장려정책 인지도가 어떠한지 살펴보았고, 추가 출산계획에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 알아보았다. 본 연구의 목적을 수행하기 위한 연구방법은 서울 경기 인천지역에 거주하는 만 5세 이하의 자녀를 둔 기혼남성들을 대상으로 설문지를 실시하여, 최종 188부를 분석자료로 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 12.0 프로그램을 사용하여 기술통계, 로지스틱 회귀분석 등을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 현재자녀수가 적을수록, 배우자의 연령이 낮을수록, 역할만족도가 높을수록, 출산장려정책인지도가 높을수록, 배우자가 취업하지 않았을때 "남편과 아내 모두 자녀출산을 원함"범주에 드는 경향이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, "아내만 원함"의 경우는 현재자녀수가 적을수록, 기혼남성의 역할만족도가 낮을수록, 배우자가 취업하지 않았을때 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, "남편만 원함"의 경우는 현재자녀수가 적을수록, 배우자가 취업 하였을때 높은 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 "남편과 아내 모두 자녀출산을 원치 않음"의 경우는 현재자녀수가 많을수록 높은 것으로 나타났다.
