여성의 혼인, 임신, 출산 및 양육행위는 개인을 둘러싼 제도적 맥락에 영향을 받는다는 전제하에, 노동시장제도가 여성의 출산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 국가 단위 노동시장 제도 및 국내 지역 노동시장 제도가 출산에 미치는 영향을 규명하였고, 여성의 생애사건에 따른 노동시장의 진입/이탈 요인을 밝혀냈다. 또한 가구 내 여성임금 및 여성의 시간배분행태와 출산과의 상관성을 살펴봄으로써 가족 내 제도적 특성이 출산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.
The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between women’s pregnancy, childbirth and parenting and the institutional context of the labor market. This study examines the relationship between fertility and labor market institutions. In addition, this study explores the changes of labor force participation of women in terms of life events. Also, this study investigates the wage distribution of the household income and the time allocation of couples to discuss the interrelationship between the family structure and labor market institutions. There are five key findings of this study. To begin with, analysis of macro-level data from OECD countries shows that fertility rates are positively correlated with income inequality among OECD countries with the exception of the social democratic countries. In contrast, fertility rates tend to be higher in OECD countries with lower gender inequalities. Regarding the labor market environment, unemployment rates, female unemployment rates and low wage worker ratio are negatively related to fertility rates, while female employment rate is positively related to fertility rates. Secondly, the result from multi-level analysis reveals that regional labor market institutions influence fertility and fertility decisions. It is found that the female labor force participation rates are positively associated with women’s parity and birth plan, whereas the rate of the wage workers among women of childbearing age are negatively associated with women’s parity and birth plan. Thirdly, female employment rate has been shown overall upward trend since the mid-80s. Nevertheless, career interruption of women has got worse since 2000. From the empirical models based on a life course perspective estimated suggest that the career interruption of women can be explained by education attainment, level of income and full-time position or not. However, the determinants of the career interruption at first birth are distinguished from the other life events. Fourthly, at the micro-level, there is no correlation between women’s wage and fertility, while there is a positive correlation between the ratio of women’s wage within family income and the likelihood of fertility. Finally, the time allocation of wives is dependent on the spouse wage. Husband’s income is positively associated with wife’s household labor time, while negatively associated with wife’s paid labor time. The results from investigating the relationship between the division of household work time and fertility shows that sharing household labor has profound implications for fertility. From these findings, some policy implications can be suggested. Above all, it is needed to provide decent jobs for women and prevent their career interruption. In addition, the institutional circumstance which can support marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting should be established. Finally, fertility policies should consider not only improving work-life balance, but also promoting income redistribution and gender equality.
