기혼여성의 취업과 시간절약서비스 지출에 관한 연구

초록

The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of the married women's employment on household expenditures for time-saving services based on the review of the household production approach to consumer demand by Becker. The data was collected with a questionnaire in 1997 and the sample of this study consisted of 397 married women which was selected from Seoul and metropolitan area considering age and work status.The review of literature in this research suggested that the expenditures of time saving services were specified as a function of labor income, nonlabor income, hours of market work of the homemaker, the education and the age of homemaker, household size, household composition and homeownership. The empirical specification was measured by tobit and a simultaneous system was adopted by using hours of homemaker's market work as an instrumental variable. Most of these variables showed signifiacnt effects on the expenditures for time-saving services although there were differences across the models. In addition, total market response is more likely to be explained by the entry and exit of households into the time-saving services market, than by the extent to which households use such services.
