Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the determinants of confidence in courtship and marriage, childbirth and parenting of the unmarried employed of the echo boomers born between 1982-1992, using data from the 19th wave of the nationwide Korea Labor and Income Panel Study. The differences of confidence in courtship, marriage, childbirth, and parenting of the echo boomers according to sociodemographic variables, psychosocial variables, workplace related variables were examined and multiple regression analysis was conducted in order to identify the factors that affect the confidence in courtship and marriage, childbirth and parenting. The results were as follows: The level of confidence in courtship and marriage, childbirth and parenting showed a statistically significant difference depending upon socioeconomic status and psychosocial variables. However, among the workplace related variables, other than childbirth and parenting within the job satisfaction category, all other variables showed a statistically significant difference. In addition, as the determining factors affecting all issues of courtship, marriage, childbirth, and parenting, youth perceptions of Korean society revealed to be the most influential factor, followed by social support and organizational commitment.

본 연구에서는 한국노동패널 19차년도 자료 중 1982~1992년에 출생한 에코세대의 미혼취업자를 대상으로 연애 및 결혼, 출산 및 양육의 자신감에 대한 결정요인을 분석하고자 하였다. 에코세대의 사회인구학적, 심리사회적, 직장관련 변인에 따른 연애 및 결혼, 출산 및 양육의 자신감 차이를 살펴보고, 이에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 사회경제적 지위, 심리사회적 변인에 따라 연애 및 결혼, 출산 및 양육의 자신감 수준에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 그러나 직무만족도에 따른 출산 및 양육의 자신감을 제외한 모든 직장관련 변인에 따라 연애 및 결혼, 출산 및 양육의 자신감 수준에 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 나타났다. 또한 연애 및 결혼, 출산 및 양육에 모두 영향을 미치는 결정요인으로 한국사회에 대한 청년인식의 영향력이 가장 컸고, 다음은 사회적 지지, 조직몰입도의 순으로 나타났다.
