다문화가정 여성의 취업욕구, 취업지원정책지지, 취업준비행동 간의 구조적 관계분석 및 지역의 조절효과

초록

This study aims to analyze the effect of employment desire on job preparation behavior among multicultural family women residing in non-metropolitan areas, and to examine whether support for employment policies plays a mediating role in this process. To achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted with multicultural family women living in regional areas across the country, and the research hypotheses were tested using a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. The analysis revealed that a higher level of employment desire led to an increase in job preparation behavior, and that support for employment policies served as a significant mediator in the relationship between employment desire and job preparation behavior. In particular, a comparative analysis between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas demonstrated that the effect of employment policy support on job preparation behavior was relatively weaker in regional areas. This finding suggests that, although multicultural family women residing outside metropolitan areas aspire to work, institutional limitations hinder the transition from employment desire to actual job-seeking activities. Based on these results, this study proposes the development of tailored policies to promote employment among multicultural family women, the establishment of support strategies that take regional disparities into account, and measures to enhance trust in and accessibility to employment support policies through active promotion. By doing so, the study seeks to provide practical policy implications that encourage the labor market participation of multicultural family women and support their economic independence.
