Changes in the level of Korean Womens wages according to their Child-rearing processes
As the use of female workforce globally is emphasized, the participation of women in economic activity is increasing both quantitatively and qualitatively with the increase of the level of education of women in Korea today.However, the income disparity of labor income is expanding due to the stratification, the dualization by employment form.There are still differences in womens wage levels in Korea.According to the viewpoint of neo-classical economics, the low wage of women who have children give s women their own value for child rearing, which is the result that there is only childbirth.According to previous research, as a factor that Koreas gender wage disparity is sustained, it is said that wage disparity between women increases.In Korea, a stud y focusing on the effect of womens parenting on wages, it is not actively done yet.Previous research focuses on participation of economic activities according to the life cycle of women, not research on the effect of parenting burden on wages of women.In consideration of these existing limitations, We analyzed the effect of womens child rearing on womens wages using a fixed effect regression analysis model, by the data of the fifth fiscal year of the panel of Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families(KLoWF) developed by the Korea Womens Policy Research Institute.According to the results of this study, it was found that women who are also single children experience loss of wages regardless of age.The existence of preschool children is s till going to reduce the wages of women, but it turns out that the number of children is high and that wages of women are not lowered.These findings emphasize that womens internal wage disparity in the labor market is due to the burden caused by child rearing.
