이혼·별거 전후의 소득변화와 영향요인

In spite of serious poverty of divorced․separated families, studies on them are insufficient. Therefore, this study is to examine the change of income before and after divorce․separation and factors having an effect on it. It used Korean Labor & Income Panel Study data from the first year(1998) to the eleventh year(2008), administered by Korea Labor Institute and study sample was total 244 people. The income of men and women was continuously decreased throughout the last year, the year and the next year of divorce․separation. Based upon results of latent growth models, the factors having an effect on the intercept were age, residental moving, living with adults, and whether working or not. The intercept was high as age is old, and case with no residental moving showed higher intercept than case with residental moving. Both cases who lived alone and worked at that time showed higher intercept. The factors having an effect on slope were academic background, residental moving and living with children. Income was rapidly reduced as education level is high. And case with no residental moving and living with children showed smoothly reduced income than case with residental moving and living alone. The results of this study can provide the fundamental background which is necessary to understand the change before and after divorce․separation. Finally, implications for family welfare practice were discussed.
