지역 특성이 결혼 및 자녀 출산에 미치는 영향

초록

The purpose of this study is to identify the difference of regional characteristics affecting 'marriage stage' and 'childbirth stage' and to compare how these factors differ between metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas using a heckman two-stage selection model. The main findings are as follows. First, regional characteristics affecting marriage stage and childbirth stage are different. Second, in the metropolitan area, regional characteristics such as population density, the proportion of female employee, and housing prices have a relatively greater impact on 'marriage', and in the non-metropolitan area, regional characteristics such as population density and unemployment rate have more impact on 'childbirth'. The empirical analysis suggests that marriage and childbirth stage need to be distinguished when establishing low fertility policies, and these approaches should be differentiated at regional level.
