남편의 지원이 기혼여성의 노동시장 참여에 미치는 영향

Abstract

This paper analyzed the effect of husband's support on the labor supply of married women by using data from the KLIPS 17th (2014) survey and additional survey. In the analysis of labor supply, the employment status and working hours model were used, and then the factors of husband's participation in housework sharing were examined. The probit estimation was applied to the employment status model, and the tobit estimation method was applied to the working hours and husband's household share rate model because women's working hours and men's housework hours had the characteristics of left-censored data. As a result of the estimation, it was found that the couple's perception of the progressive gender role and the sharing of domestic labor among men had a positive effect on married women's participation in the labor market. On the other hand, the stronger men's perception of the fair sharing of household labor, the higher the participation rate of household labor. In order to increase Korean women's participation in the labor market, it seems necessary to improve men's perception of gender roles and to allow men to participate in housework sharing. In addition, it seems necessary to expand national childcare so that women can participate in the labor market without worrying about their children.
