한부모가족 양육자의 차별 피해 경험의 영향 요인

Abstract

Single-Parent families in South Korea have been exposed to discrimination due to social prejudice and conservative views. Considering the rapid changes on family structure and the growing number of one-parent families, risk factors and protective factors on the experience of discrimination among single-parent families are needed to be identified. To identify the impact factors on the experience of discrimination among single-parent families, this study used data from 1,646 single-parent family household owners who raise underage children alone which had been conducted in 2021. Results suggest that gender, age, education, and depression had significant influences on the experience of discrimination. Our results also suggest that the comprehensive approach including psychological support is needed to prevent victimization among one-parent families. Policy suggestions and contents that need additional analysis were discussed.
