Recently, workers are interested in work-life balance. However, most dual- income couples do not make the effort to achieve work-life balance in their everyday life compared with many workplaces that make various family-friendly policies available to them. Therefore, this study aims to suggest the necessity and process of work-life balance through career management over one's lifespan. The needs and resources of families are not the same during every stage of the family life cycle. Thus, dual-income couples should aim to invest in career management which includes balancing their work and their family when considering their future career and life. Additionally, they should try to match the needs and resources of both their work and their family by using family resources, workplace policies, and community networks.

This study aimed to examine Korean men's experiences of work-family balance in dual income families with children under six years of age. We focused on identifying the difficulty of balancing work and family considering their individual, social, and cultural conditions. The method was a qualitative study involving two in-depth interviews with each of 12 men, and analyzing the data through the grounded theory approach. From the results, a model of men's work-family experience was constructed. It demonstrates the central phenomena (difficulties of balancing), the causal conditions (lacking time for family, seeking support from the employer, and learning husband's roles insufficiently), the contextual conditions (remaining paternalism and changing husband's roles), the intervening conditions (workplace, childcare support, and wife characteristics), and strategies (help from relatives, utilizing daycare centers, controlling birth, managing work conditions, and using family polices). We clarify the overall picture of working and family life experiences, and also show how men deal with their problems in their circumstances by balancing working and family life. In conclusion, males have difficulty participating in family life autonomously because of having less decision-making power than the wife. Moreover, the great responsibilities of the breadwinner disturb the work-family balance. Men devote themselves to working to hold a job instead of spending time with their family. However, they ultimately value work-family balance with respect to 'keeping a peaceful family life'.

본 논문에서 우리는 단일보드 컴퓨터인 라즈베리 파이3 기반의 오픈 플랫폼 로봇 Q.bo one을 이용하여 맞벌이 가정의 아이들의 생활 습관과 영어회화 교육을 케어해줄 로봇을 설계 및 구현하고자 한다. 첫 번째 생활습관 형성 기능은 성장기 아이들에게 가장 중요한 생활습관인 손씻기, 규칙적인 식사, 양치질, 숙제, 규칙적인 수면 총 5가지를 선정하여 부모가 부재중일 때에도 로봇으로 부모 목소리를 출력함으로서 아이에게 생활습관이 자리 잡을 수 있도록 도와준다. 알림을 듣고 실행에 옮긴 아이의 모습을 촬영하여 부모가 확인하고 피드백을 할 수 있게 한다. 두 번째 기초회화 교육 기능은 구글의 DialogFlow를 사용하여 로봇과 아이가 간단한 영어 회화를 통해 영어를 자연스럽게 익힐 수 있도록 도와준다. 이 두 가지 기능의 로봇을 통해 맞벌이 가정의 아이들이 부모님이 집에 계시지 않을 때에도 부모님의 목소리를 출력하는 알림으로 안정감을 느끼게 한다. 동시에 기본적인 생활 습관을 들이고, 로봇과의 기초 영어회화를 하며 일찍이 영어에 흥미를 느낄 수 있도록 하는 것이 목적이다.
