일가족양립정책과 노동시장 젠더 형평성의 관계에 대한 연구

This study analyzed empirically the relationship between workfamily balance policies and gender equity in labor market. Gender equity in labor market is one of the main objectives of work-family balance policies composed of childcare services, parental leave, tax benefit and family-friendly workplace. Female employment and those relative wage to male wage is the proxy of gender equity in labor market. Analyzed dataset is that of 16 OECD countries during 1980～2000(pooled time series dataset). Pooled time series analysis results show that as family service expenditure increases so female employment and the coefficient remains statistically significant. In addition, as parental leave duration increases so gender wage ratio increases and coefficient remains statistically significant. These results are corroborative facts that work-family balance policies strengthen the gender equity in labor market. The increase of childcare service expenditure and effective parental leave are suggested based on these results.
