Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether family-friendly policies and paternal participation in child-care were the predictors that could encourage the intention of childbirth. A questionnaire survey was conducted with married women who were under the age of 40 years and with young children, using convenience sampling. Of the 400 survey questionnaires that were distributed, 326 of them were used in the final sample. The measuring instrument consisted of intention of childbirth which indicated the personal willingness of having an additional child, family-friendly policies of a company, and paternal participation in child-care. Binomial logistic regression was conducted to identify the causal relationship between the variables. The findings of the results are as follows.BR First, there were statistically significant and positive correlations between childbirth, child-care support system, flexible work arrangements, family-friendly organizational culture system, paternal participation in child-care, parental support for household and intention of additional childbirth of married women.
