초록
최근 지속적으로 악화되고 있는 청년실업 문제와 더불어 한국사회에는 새로운 유형의 젊은 세대가 등장하여 사회적 관심을 모으고 있다. 이들은 이른바 부모의존 독신성인이라 불리는 청장년층으로서, 일반적으로 학교를 졸업하고 자립할 나이가 되었음에도 불구하고 취직·구직을 하지 않거나, 또는 취직을 하더라도 부모와 함께 동거하면서 부모에게 경제적으로 의존하고 있는 20대 후반에서 40세 미만의 미혼 성인자녀들을 의미한다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 부모의존 독신성인 가구의 규모, 부모의존 독신성인가구의 부모와 자녀의 특성, 동거관련 생활실태 및 부모-자녀 동거관계만족도 등을 분석·파악함으로써 이들에 대한 사회적 관심을 환기시키며, 또한 이들에 대한 후속 연구와 사회적 개입을 위한 토대를 제공하고자 한다. 연구결과를 요약하면, 먼저 부모의존 독신성인 가구는 전체 응답가구의 34%로 조사되어, 독립하지 않고 부모에게 의존하며 함께 거주하는 성인자녀의 비율이 상당한 수준으로 나타났다. 둘째, 부모의존 독신성인 가구의 부모는 일반가구의 부모에 비해 높은 연령, 낮은 수준의 최종학력 및 소득수준 등 다소 불리한 인구사회학적 특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 부모의존 독신성인은 약 90% 이상이 전문대 이상의 학력을 소지하고 있으며, 비교적 높은 경제활동 참가율과 정규직 중심의 안정된 고용상태를 유지하고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 넷째, 부모의존 독신성인과 부모와의 관계만족도는 일반적 우려와는 달리 전반적으로 높은 수준인 것으로 나타났으며, 부모의존 독신성인가구의 부모-자녀 관계만족도와 관련 있는 변수로는 독신성인의 연령, 학력수준, 경제활동 여부 및 부모의 연령과 학력수준 등으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 부모의존 독신성인에 대한 기초조사가 절대적으로 부족한 현실에서 이와 같은 결과를 도출해냄으로써 부모의존 독신성인에 대한 학문적 노력의 출발점으로서 의의를 갖는다.
Abstract
Along with the worsening situation of youth unemployment, an increasing group of young generation has recently received much social attention. They are called "parasite singles" who refer to non-married single children aged 25-40, economically depending upon their parents. This study examined the prevalence of parasite singles in Korea and their living conditions family relations, through which it would suggest important bases for effective social interventions for problems facing parasite singles and their family. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: (1) about 34% of the sample have parasite singles in their family, indicating that the prevalence of parasite singles cannot be overlooked any longer; (2) the main reason of parasite singles for depending upon their parents is "not having married," although economic independence matters more for male parasite singles than for female parasite singles; (3) the satisfaction level of parent-child relation is generally high among parasite singles and their parents, as opposed to public concerns and (4) among characteristics of parasite singles, age, education level, and labor market participation are proven to be significantly associated with the parent-child relation, while parental age and education level are also related to the satisfaction level.
