맞벌이 부부의 가사노동 시간과 분담에 관한 연구

초록

This study aims to examine the effects of time-availability, relative resource, and gender-role attitudes as the main factors explaining time use and division of housework in dual-earner households in Korea. For empirical analysis we use 2014 Korean Labor and Income Panel Study and extract 714 dual-earner couples aged 20 to 60 with pre-school children. We find that when wives’ paid labor time decrease, and when husbands’ paid labor time increase, wives tend to spend more time on housework. For husbands, when their paid labor time decrease, when they have more egalitarian attitudes, and when wives’ relative income increase, husbands tend to spend more time on housework. Also, when wives paid labor time increase, when husbands’ paid labor time decrease, when wives’ relative income increase, when husbands have more egalitarian attitudes, couples divide housework time more equally. On the base of the results, we discuss the limitation of these factors that cannot explain fully the gendered housework division in Korea.
