30대 청년의 결혼의향에 영향을 미치는 요인

초록

This study aims to identify the influence of variables influencing the marriage intentions of unmarried young adults in their 30s in Korea, thereby providing data for marriage-related policies and interventions. To this end, data from the ʻ2022 Youth Life Surveyʼ, a nationwide survey of households aged 19-34 and their families in 17 cities and provinces, were used for analysis. Data from 2,013 unmarried young adults in their 30s were collected. To predict the influence of income, human resources for the future, family support, and perception of gender conflict on the marriage intentions of unmarried young adults in their 30s, we controlled for gender, education, residential region, and employment status and conducted a hierarchical logistic regression analysis. Overall, 75.9% of the study subjects reported a willingness to marry, with men showing a higher willingness to marry than women. Human resources for the future and family support had a positive effect on the marriage intentions of both men and women, while perception of gender conflict had a negative effect. Perception of gender conflict did not have a statistically significant effect on men's intention to marry, but it had a negative effect on women's intention to marry. Youth income did not have a statistically significant effect on marriage intention for either men or women. This suggests that to promote marriage among young people who lack sufficient human resources and family support for the future, social support systems and public assistance are needed to compensate for these gaps. Furthermore, it suggests the need to create a social environment that addresses gender conflict, which negatively impacts marriage intentions.
