Objectives: This paper aimed to provide an in-depth analysis of the factors influencing the dietary habits of male and female workers at a facility in Gwangju and their awareness of the same. Methods: A total of 32 workers were divided into eight groups based on work type, gender, and age, and focus group interviews (FGIs) were conducted. The FGIs included cognitive, behavioral, and environmental questionnaires based on dietary habits and the social cognitive theory. The interviews were analyzed by subject and sub-subject using audio recordings and transcriptions. Results: Male workers in the concerned company favored meat while female workers preferred vegetables, yet by and large, the preferences were irregular. Male workers living alone frequently ate ready meals and female workers often skipped meals. An analysis of the factors influencing the study subjects' dietary habits from the cognitive, behavioral, and environmental perspectives showed that the main factors negatively affecting their dietary habits were shiftwork, living alone, and drinking. Workers were unaware of these factors and their poor eating habits. Instead, male workers complained of poor cooking skills, while female workers complained of loneliness. Workers thus appeared to need the support of nutrition education and a counseling assistant to cope with this situation. Conclusions: The study identified the fact that the absence of nutrition education left the workers unaware of their poor eating habits. The workers would need counseling and support to help them build healthy dietary habits. It would also be necessary to focus on raising the workers' cognitive awareness of dietary habits and enhancing their behavioral ability to cope with bad eating habits through nutrition education that reflects the reality of their situation.

우리나라 여성들의 노동시장 참여는 계속 증가해 왔지만, 이 증가를 이끈 주된 고용 형태는 정규직이 아니라 비정규직이었다. 남성 배우자의 임금이 불안정해지거나 혹은 일자리를 잃게 되면 특히 저학력 저소득층의 40대 이상 여성들은 가족의 생계를 전담하거나 보조하기 위해 노동시장으로 나오지만, 우리 사회는 이들을 노동시장의 가장 하위 집단으로 취급하면서 비정규직으로 채용하는 것을 당연시한다. 여성 비정규직 속에는 20대 아르바이트생, 고학력 전문직 계약직 여성들, 학습지 교사와 같은 특수고용형태 노동자, 고령의 저학력 판매 서비스직 여성들도 포함되어 있다. 이런 배경에서 본 논문은 우리나라 비정규직 여성 중 가장 취약 집단이자 대표 집단은 누구인지 규명하는 데 일차 목적이 있으며, 아울러 그들을 위한 소득보장 제도로는 무엇이 합당할지 검토하는데 이차 목적이 있다. 문헌분석과 통계수치 분석을 연구방법으로, 본 연구는 우리나라 여성 비정규직의 중에서, 40대 이상, 저학력, 저소득이면서, 남성배우자가 부재하거나 남성 소득에만 의지할 수 없는, 판매직 서비스직 단순노무직 여성들일수록 상대적으로 더욱 비정규직으로 취업한다는 결과를 제시한다. 따라서 그들을 위한 소득보장 제도는 정규직 위주, 남성 위주의 고용보험 제도의 개선보다는 실업부조의 도입이 더 현실적이고 시급함을 주장하고자 한다.
