Why has South Korea’s fertility rate dropped below Japan’s? An exploratory study of youth labor market challenges and family formation
Japan and South Korea experienced a rapid decline in total fertility rates (TFR) until the early 2000s; however, over the past two decades, the two countries have exhibited markedly different trends in TFR, with Korea’s rate being significantly lower than Japan’s. How can we explain the diverging patterns? This study identifies several points that may help illuminate this divergence by focusing on the youth labor market. Firstly, we demonstrate t…
When mothers do it all
Post-industrial countries with high rates of female labour force participation have generally had low fertility rates, but recent studies demonstrate that this is no longer the case. This has generated increased attention to how greater gender equality in the private sphere of the household may contribute to a positive relationship between women's employment rates and fertility. Building on recent scholarship demonstrating the multidimensionality…
When Kids Are a Burden
How individuals perceive raising children varies across countries. Researchers seeking to explain this have tended to focus on variation in family policies across countries, arguing that having children is perceived more negatively in terms of cost and disturbance to parents' freedom and careers in countries where less policy support for families is provided. In this study, I add to the literature on attitudes toward child-raising by focusing on …
Work and Family Pathways and Their Associations with Health for Young Women in Korea
The aim of this study is two-fold: to discern patterns in pathways of work and family transitions among young women (aged 24-39 years) whose decisions and behaviors toward labor force participation, marriage, and parenthood are considerably shaped by social constraints and gender norms; and to examine whether and to what extent work and family pathways are associated with later health. Using data from a longitudinal survey based on a large sample…
Is It Only a Numbers Game? A Macro-Level Study of Educational Hypogamy
In many countries, the tendency for highly educated women to marry down in education has markedly increased. Research has pointed to an oversupply of highly educated women—that is, a marriage squeeze affecting women—as the core reason for this phenomenon. This study aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the causes of this marriage trend by analyzing over-time data drawn from IPUMS International census microdata samples for 34 coun…
Theories of Postindustrial Fertility Decline
Family formation patterns in the postindustrial world have changed markedly in the past several decades. Fertility rates have declined, cohabitation rates have increased, age at marriage has gone up, and nonmarital childbearing has become more common in most postindustrial settings. A dominant theoretical explanation for these changes is second demographic transition (SDT) theory, which posits widespread value change towards individualism and pos…
