기혼여성의 유급노동과 가사노동이 결혼만족도에 미치는 영향은 보육서비스 제도 이용여부에 의해 달라지는가?

This study analyses whether the impact of employment and housework division on marital satisfaction among married women with preschool children varies depending on the use of childcare services. Based on theoretical discussions regarding the relationship between an individual’s capability to perform various socioeconomic roles, satisfaction, and the influence of social policies, the study analyzed data from the second (2008) and sixth (2016) waves of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families. The results show that, in 2008, neither paid labor, household labor nor childcare services affected the satisfaction. However, in 2016, both employment and household labor performance effected on marital satisfaction, and the effect varied with the use of childcare services. Specifically, compared to unemployed women who used childcare services, employed women who used these services had lower marital satisfaction. Among women who performed more than 80% of household labor, those who used childcare services had lower marital satisfaction than those who did not use the services. Other related factors included women’s educational level(2008, 2016), husbands’ employment status(2008), relationship satisfaction with their husbands (2008, 2016), satisfaction with their husbands’ participation in household labor(2008), husbands’ perception of women’s work(2016), household income(2008). Based on the analysis results, policy implications were discussed.
