This study determined the characteristics of meal-related time use among employees living in one-person and multi-person households by conducting a comparison focused on gender and age differences. Among the questionnaires distributed to employees during the 2014 Korean Time Use Survey, 19,692 were used for final analysis. The results were as follows: First, the one-person households had shorter meal-related time use than did the multi-person households, except for the time spent having snacks and beverages. Second, meal-related time use was generally longer in non-working days than in workdays. Third, gender differences in meal-related time use were observed, with the more significant ones being the differences in time devoted to meal preparation and dishwashing. Fourth, in both the one-person and multi-person households, women spent a longer amount of time preparing meals and washing dishes than did men, but this difference was greater in multi-person households. Fifth, old individuals spend a longer time preparing meals and washing dishes than did young individuals. Policies must be enforced to improve the quality of diets in one-person households. Such households should also be provided nutrition education to increase their awareness of the importance of healthy and regular meals. Another essential requirement of policy is the provision of gender equality education for both the one-person and multi-person households.

Objectives: This research started with the attempt to comprehend the relationship between household types and psychological stability by linking single-person households to the emotional index "depression." Method: For this purpose, we first compare to see if there is a difference in socio-demographic variables, social relationships, the degree of depression between single households and multi-person households, and to comprehend the relative influence that household types have on depression by taking other factors under consideration. Results: Then based on the results, we compare and analyze the factors that affect the degree of depression on single-person households and multi-person households, respectively. To summarize the results, first of all, residents in single-person households are somewhat older but show lower level of income, education, and health condition compared to peers inmulti-person households. They also had a consistently high level not only in the frequency of contact and emotional connection with families, relatives, and friends, but also in the degree of depression when compared to multi-person households. Secondly, for depression, considering the various factors targeting all the households, the following had a strong influence in the order of "health condition compared to peers," "emotional connection with family," "household types," "emotional connection with colleagues," "frequency of contact with neighbors," "gender," and "age."The degree of depression increases in the following conditions: if the health condition is worse, lower emotional connection with family, single-person household, lower emotional connection with colleagues, lower the frequency of contact with neighbors, female, and older the age. Thirdly, comparing the factors that affect depression by dividing single-person households and multi-person households, "health condition compared to peers" and "emotional connection with family" had the largest effect in common, respectively. In cases of living alone, regardless of other factors, the degree of depression increases with "health condition compared to peers" and "emotional connection with family." Conclusions: On the contrary, in multi-person households, "health condition compared to peers," "emotional connection with family," "emotional connection with colleagues," "income," and "gender" are important.

This paper examines the changes in housing characteristics occupied by two or more households from 1995-2005, as a replicated follow-up study done by the previous decade of 1985-1995. The data analyzed were based on the Population and Housing Census in 1995, 2000, and 2005 by the Korean National Statistical Office. Results showed decreasing trends in the percentages of housing units occupied by multi-households and of households sharing a housing unit, while the average number of households for a shared housing unit was increasing. Detached dwellings in dongs (neighborhood) including ordinarily single-family detached ones, mainly multi-family houses, were the most often shared with other households even in the trend of the decreasing number of the detached housing. Further research is suggested to focus on housing circumstances of households sharing a detached dwelling in Dongs by the type of detached dwellings.

본 연구는 과거 혼인경험과 관계없이 중년 무배우남성을 1인가구와 다인가구로 구분하여 인적자본과 사회자본의 차이를 살펴보고 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 제13차년도 한국복지패널조사(2018)를 사용하여 중년 무배우남성을 연구대상으로 분석하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중년 무배우남성 1인가구는 이들의 혼인상태와 관계없이 교육수준, 경제활동상태, 인터넷사용 등 인적자본 수준은 다인가구보다 낮았다. 둘째, 중년 무배우남성의 가구주 여부에 따른 인적자본과 사회자본 수준의 차이를 보면, 이혼·사별 경험이 있는 다인가구인 비가구주 중년남성은 1인가구에 비해 사회자본의 수준이 현저히 낮았다. 미혼의 경우, 1인가구에 비해 비가구주 중년남성의 미취업 비율은 높고 상용근로 비율은 낮았다. 셋째, 혼인상태에 따른 중년 무배우남성의 생활만족도에 미치는 인적자본과 사회자본의 효과를 분석한 결과, 인적자본변수 중 경제활동상태는 이혼·사별집단에서 1인가구와 다인가구에 공통으로 영향을 주었다. 사회자본의 효과를 보면 미혼집단에서 1인가구와 다인가구 모두 유대수준이 높을수록, 다인가구에서 신뢰가 높은 집단이 신뢰가 낮은 집단에 비해 생활만족도에 긍정적 효과를 주었다. 이혼·사별집단에서는 1인가구에서 자원봉사참여가, 다인가구에서는 신뢰가 생활만족도에 유의한 사회자본 변수로 나타났다. 최근 한국사회에서 1인가구를 대상으로 하는 특화된 프로그램이 건강가정지원센터를 비롯한 지역사회에서 강화되고 있는데, 향후 중년 대상 프로그램의 경우에는 1인가구라는 가구의 형태보다 오히려 이용자 요구에 초점을 맞추어 1인가구로 한정하지 않는 것이 다인가구임에도 소외되기 쉬운 중년 무배우남성의 정책접근성을 높일 것으로 기대된다.

Objectives: The rise of one-person households may have consequences for food consumption patterns, and eating habits. This study investigated the home meal replacement (HMR) use and eating habits among adults in their 20s-30s living in one-person households. Methods: A total of 247 adults aged 26-39 years participated in this study. The subjects were divided into three group according to the household type; one-person households (n=80), two-person households (n=49), and multi-family (three and more members) households (n=118). Their use of HMRs (classified as ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, and fresh convenience foods) and their eating habits were all compared. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 30.5 years, 47.8% were male, and there was no significant difference in age, gender, occupation, and monthly income according to the type of household. The intake frequency of total HMR and ready-to-eat foods was significantly higher in one-person households among the three groups. People in one-person households consumed more HMRs alone, and spent more money to buy HMRs. Undesirable dietary habit scores like unbalanced eating (p<0.05) and eating salty foods (p<0.05) were significantly higher in the one-person households. Among the total subjects, the unbalanced eating scores showed a significant positive correlation with the intake frequency of ready-to-eat foods, while the unbalanced eating scores showed negative correlation with the preference of fresh convenience foods. The scores for eating salty foods showed a significant positive correlation with the intake frequency and preference of ready-to-eat foods and ready-to-cook foods, while there was negative correlation with the intake frequency and preference of fresh convenience foods. Conclusions: Adults in their 20s-30s in one-person households consumed more ready-to-eat foods than those in multi-family households. In addition, people with one-person households had more unbalanced diets and ate more salty foods, and these undesirable eating habits showed a significant positive correlation with the use of ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook foods. These results should be addressed for producing healthier ready-to-eat/ready-to-cook foods and implementing nutrition education for making healthy food choices of one-person households, which are steadily increasing.
