Young Adults’ Coresidence with Parents and Time Use in South Korea
Previous studies indicate that young adults who live with their parents are less likely to marry because of the financial and temporal benefits of coresidence with parents. Drawing on the 2019 Korean Time Use Study, we empirically confirm this line of argument by examining whether coresidence with parents is associated with the amount of time that unmarried young adults spend on major daily activities, such as personal care, studying, working, ho…
Stability and Change of Personal Value in South Korean Adolescents
Adolescence is a period of life when an individual’s values become differentiated. Moreover, social networks undergo changes throughout the school years, making this a suitable research area for confirming the effect of network composition on the formation of human values. In this study, we examined the stability and change of values among Korean adolescents, while assessing the influence of one’s social network on the importance and change of va…
How Do Wives and Husbands in Dual-Earner Couples in Korea Coordinate Work Hours and Childcare
This study examined how dual-earner couples in Korea coordinate their work time to cope with childcare responsibilities and whether they employ tag-team parenting. Using the 2019 Korean Time Use Survey data, we assessed time spent in childcare and paid work among dual-earner couples with young children. OLS regression analysis was conducted separately for mothers’ and fathers’ childcare time, focusing on time spent on paid work and differences in…
The Mediating Process of Social Learning in Cyberspace
Given the massive power of the virtual environment of online networks, the prevalence of cyberbullying and the misuse of information technology continue to increase with the development of more advanced information technology. This study investigated the process of cyberbullying in social media among the Korean college student population. The researchers sought to examine the effect of social structural factors on cyberbullying that are mediated …
The Amoralization of Korean Society
IMF 외환위기 이후 한국 사회의 신자유주의화가 빠르게 진행되어 개인의 생존이 중요한 가치가 되었다. 정보화는 공통의 도덕이 형성될 상호작용을 감소시켰고, 세계화는 도덕이 상대적이라는 것을 경험할 수 있게 하였다. 지난 20년간 이뤄진 변화는 한국 사회의 도덕성을 점점 감소시켰다. 본 논문은 한국 사회의 도덕 문화 변화를 코호트 내 변화와 코호트 교체 효과로 분해함으로써 탈도덕화 현상이 장기적으로 지속될지 밝히고자 한다. 같은 변화도 사회적 위치에 따라 다르게 경험한다는 점을 고려하여 사회·인구학적 특성이 탈도덕화 현상에 미치는 영향도 확인하였다. 이를 위해 세계가치관조사의 1996년 데이터와 2018년 데이터를 이용하여 약 20년간 이뤄진 변화를 추적하였다. 탐색적 요인분석 결과 도덕 기반 중 개인성 중시 도덕인 공평성과 결속 중시 도덕인 순수성을 발견하였다. 코호트 내 변화와 코호트 교체 효…
Parental Financial Support and the Transition to Marriage for Young Adults in South Korea
Despite the importance of familial aspects for young adults getting married, most previous studies have not focused on the role played by downward transfers (i.e., parental financial support) in marriage. We therefore investigate how downward transfers are associated with young adults getting married in South Korea. We also examine whether these associations vary by gender and employment status among young adults. We use a sample of unmarried you…
Work hours, work schedules, and subjective well-being in Korea
Korea is well known for long work hours. This study examined the effect of not only the total amount of working time but also work schedules on individuals' subjective well-being in Korea. Drawing on the 2014 Korean Time Use Survey data, the authors selected currently employed people aged 19-65 and examined the effects of total work hours as well as work schedules on feeling rushed, feeling tired, and life satisfaction. Based on the ordered logis…
Weekend Couples as a Manifestation of Gender Equality
Some wives and husbands maintain separate residences. This form of couple is understood as a major transition in the gender arrangement of work and family. Using a sample of “weekend couples,” where Korean wives and husbands live separately, this study (1) compared weekend and typical couples in time spent on housework, and (2) examined whether time on housework is associated with life satisfaction in weekend and typical couples. I found that, wh…
Risk Preferences and Immigration Attitudes
Economic interests, such as increased job market competition or tax burden in the host countries, often explain attitudes toward immigration. Some empirical studies that have adopted this economic perspective report, however, that an individual's economic circumstances are not directly linked to his or her attitudes toward immigration, emphasizing that people can have different interpretations even under the same circumstances. We argue that risk…
Commuter couples' life satisfaction in Korea
The prevalence of 'commuter couples' (a type of dual-earner couple in which the spouses live separately) is on the rise. The literature on this form of marital arrangement is, however, limited in that most studies are based on in-depth interviews of individuals with high-level employment in developed countries. Using cross-sectional data from the Social Survey (2012 and 2014) in Korea, this study examined (1) the relation of this newly emerging f…
Is giving or receiving psychologically beneficial to older mothers in South Korea? Importance of marital status
In order to understand intergenerational financial transfers and subjective well-being for older mothers, this study argues that marital status is an important factor to be considered. Using the first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), this study finds that married older mothers report higher levels of life satisfaction when they provide economic support but widowed older mothers feel higher levels of life satisfaction when t…
Marital Satisfaction among Korean Commuter Couples
In Korea, some dual-earner married couples, where both husbands and wives have careers, live separately because their workplaces are located too far for a daily commute. These “commuter couples” are on the rise all over the world. In general, physical closeness is important for the quality of the relationships; thus, marital satisfaction is one of the most important issues in the literature on commuter couples. While some studies found a lower qu…
Intergenerational Transfers Between Young Adult Children and Their Parents in Korea
Using the first wave of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing, this study investigates intergenerational transfers between young adult children and their parents in Korea, where the influence of Confucianism is strong on the relationship between parents and children. As children grow older, they receive decreasingly less financial support from their parents and instead, children provide increasingly more economic aid to their parents. However, …

How Appreciated Do Wives Feel for the Housework They Do
Objective. Sense of appreciation for the work one does contributes to subjective well-being and relational satisfaction, but few studies examine the factors that may affect levels of recognition for household labor. We formulate and test hypotheses based on the effort-reward imbalance model in occupational health research to investigate the extent to which married women feel that the work they do around the house is appreciated. Methods. We use d…
Husbands' and wives' time spent on housework
This study compares a series of estimates of the time spent on housework from survey responses and time-use estimates from the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) obtained from husbands and wives in the Sloan 500 Family Study. These include estimates from husband's and wife's answers to questions about own time and spouse's time on household tasks, and time-use estimates from the ESM. The three ESM estimates include primary activity only, primary pl…
