자원의 부족이 한부모 여성의 유병 출근(프리젠티즘)에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors pertinent to presenteeism, which has long-term effects on the quality of life of single- parent women and their children. Single-parent women are the most time-pressed and resource-poor group, as they are the sole breadwinners and caregivers in their households. This study analyzed data from the 6th Working Environment Survey conducted by the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and included 280 single-parent women and a total of 3,260 female workers living with children under the age of 18. The results are summarized as follows 1) Presenteeism among single-parent women living with children under 18 is higher than in other types of households; 2) Presenteeism among single-parent women is influenced by time pressures at work; 3) Adult family members living with single-parent women tend to lower presenteeism of single-parent women; and 4) Payment for time and effort at work is significantly associated with lower presenteeism of single-parent women. However, the problem of single-parent women's presenteeism cannot be solved at the individual level, such as formation of extended families, but requires institutional and policy alternatives to ensure that the right to care and the right to work are recognized as civil rights, while also addressing discriminatory and hierarchical labor market structures.
