Given the dramatic increase in the percentage of married women working in clercial occupations and the inflexibility of work commitments for employees working in this domain, this paper investigates the division of household labor between married female clerical workers and their husbands, and their sources of external help. The total housework time of couples, the percent of total housework done by husbands, and a scale measuring the wife’s perception of the frequency with which her husband does specific household tasks are all used to measure the division of household labor between couples. Data for 143 couples were gathered from using structured questionares and the time dairies that included one weekday and one weekend day. The findings of this study are as follows; 1) The couples receive substantial support in housework from their mothers. 2) Wives spend an average of 23 hours and 26 minutes per week on household labor, whereas husbands spend an average 7 hours and 7 minutes per week. Husbands do an average of 20.9% of all housework done by the couples. Wives typically perceive that their husbands are not frequently participating in a variety of household tasks(mean = 2.88 on a 5-point Likert scale where 1=never and 5=always). 3) Multivariate analysis reveal that working hours is negatively related to while the presence of child under 6 years old is positively related to total housework. Time availability variables(e.g. working hours and the presence of child under 6 years old) and relative resource variables(e.g. the rate of wife’s income on that of husband) are related to the percent of total housework done by husbands. The sex-role attitude variables are related to the wife’s perceptions of the frequency with which her husband does specific household tasks.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the change of agricultural labor participation and decision-making involvement of rural women in Korea from 1960s to 1990s. For analysis of these changes, I used the data surveyed and collected by different researchers during those times. During last 40 years, rural society and the mode of agricultural production rapidly changed according to the development of Korean industry. Agricultural labor participation of rural women increased since the mid 1970s. Their agricultural labor expanded into full ranges of farming. Their decision-making involvement also expanded into all divisions of farming. However, they did not have decision making power as much as they contributed to farm labor The expansion of rural women's labor within the sphere of farm production has not substantially altered the decision-making power structure within the farm household.

본 연구에서는 Price-Scaling AIDS 모형을 바탕으로 가구별 특성의 차이가 소비지출 구조에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 통계청 "가계동향조사" 자료를 이용하여 추정하였다. 추정결과, 서비스 품목들의 소득탄력성은 비서비스 품목들의 소득탄력성에 비해 상대적으로 큰 것으로 나타나 향후 가구소득이 늘어날 경우 서비스 품목들에 대한 더 큰 수요 증가가 예상된다. 또한 품목별 가계의 소비지출행태는 연령별, 소득수준별로 상이한 모습을 띠고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 비서비스 품목에 대한 지출비중이 높은 전통적인 가계지출구조에서 보건, 교육, 통신 등과 같은 서비스품목에 대한 지출비중이 높은 구조로의 전환이 촉진되고 있음이 확인되었다. 이와 같이 서비스품목에 대한 수요 증가로 인한 가계소비지출 구조의 변화는 관련 서비스 시장의 확대와 더불어 서비스 산업의 성장 잠재력을 더욱 확대시키는 방향으로 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 이들 분야에 대한 잠재수요 및 성장가능성에 대한 정확한 파악과 더불어 해당 서비스 시장의 형성 및 확대와 관련한 공급측의 적절한 대응이 요구된다.

This paper examines the relationship between economic dependence and gender differences in housework in Korea. There are three explanatory alternatives for the relationship; economic rule of exchange, gender display perspective and deviant neutralization. We analysed both 2004 and 2009 time use survey data. The findings show the significant gender differences in time spent on housework that wives spend much more time on housework than husbands. However, among couples with non-normative gender roles, in some cases the more economically powerful wives spend more time on housework than breadwinner wives with weaker economic power, although such cases are rare. Rather, it is appropriate to conclude that, the more economically independent the wives, the less time they spend on housework; this is also the case for husbands. Overall, the Korean case shows what the economic exchange theory predicts. Thus, improvements in working wives' economic power will lead to gender equity in the division of housework.
