This study compared and analyzed the objective and subjective economic well-being, and overall satisfaction of life in those households. Major results are below. First, the amount of expenditures, saving, debt were low in one-earner household with employed husbands, but average propensity to expenditure was high in those households. The amount of saving was low in one-earner households with unemployed husbands, but the average propensity to expenditure and debt were high, resulting in the low status of economic well-being. The amount of saving and monetary assets were high, but average propensity to expenditure and debt were low in households in which wives had higher income than husbands, resulting in the high status of economic well-being. Second, husbands' satisfaction for the level of family income was not different among four groups of households. Wives's satisfaction for those was the lowest when wives' income was higher than husbands', but the highest in households with unemployed wives. Wives' and husbands' expectations for the future economic well-being of the households were negative in households with unemployed husbands. On the other hand, the level of satisfaction of wives and husbands for their life was not different among four groups of households.

본 연구는 "2014 생활시간조사" 데이터를 이용하여 부부의 시간배분 결정요인에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대체로 남편의 육아 및 가사시간은 아내에 비하여 매우 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 아내의 임금이 높고, 어린 자녀가 있을 경우 남편의 육아 및 가사시간이 증가하였다. 아내 시간배분의 경우는 주로 배우자(남편)의 임금에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났는데, 남편의 임금이 증가할수록 아내의 노동시간은 감소하며, 가사시간은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 육아시간은 아내와 남편 모두의 임금에 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 아내의 임금이 증가할 경우에 남편의 육아 가사시간이 같이 증가하는 경향이 있었다. 시간배분의 상관관계에서 아내의 노동시간과 남편의 가사시간은 보완관계에 있었으나, 아내와 남편의 가사시간은 대체관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 곧 아내가 일을 많이 하여 생긴 가사일의 부족분을 남편이 채우게 되지만, 집안일을 부부의 누군가가 한다면 다른 한 쪽은 안하게 된다는 것을 의미한다. 그러나 주말에는 이러한 관계가 크게 변하게 되는 것을 발견할 수 있었다.

This study was to examine the effects of economic, social, psychological, and marital resources on the relationship between retirement related stress and life satisfaction among the retired husbands and their wives. Economic resources included actual income, the amount of reduced income after retirement, and perceived adequacy of income, while social resources consisted of the supports from children, relatives, friends and neighbors. Psychological resources constituted sense of mastery and marital resource was measured by the emotional supports from the spouse. Data from 178 couples in Seoul revealed that retirees and their spouse perceived retirement as a very stressful extent, with husbands viewing their retirement as more stressful than their wives. The retirement related stress was found to be the most significant predictor on the life satisfaction of the couples. For retired husbands, life satisfaction was closely associated to sense of mastery and supports from children and relatives. The health status, perceived adequacy of income, sense of mastery, and supports from children and relatives were related to life satisfaction for wives. Therefore, the effects of personal resources on life satisfaction were smarter than that of retirement related stress for both retired husbands and their wives. Along with discussions, implications for retirement education and suggestions for future study are provided.
