Abstract
In this study, the factors affecting married women’s marital satisfaction were estimated using data from the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families, and the effect of marital satisfaction on childbirth plan and job satisfaction was also analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the factors affecting married women’s marital satisfaction were high in the sequence of communication, sexual relations satisfaction, current economic status, husband's satisfaction with housework, leisure activities with the husband. In addition, it was found that in the case of dual-income women, the sexual relations satisfaction increases the marital satisfaction more than the communication, and in the case of single-income women, the communication increases the marital satisfaction more than the sexual relations satisfaction. The result show that the marginal effect of the marital satisfaction on childbirth plan and job satisfaction was 19.5% and 29.2% respectively.
