AB - This study aims to identify the impact of gender equality and work-family balance on attitude toward the necessity of having children. The survey data were collected from 800 adults aged 19 years and older living in the D region of Busan, Korea, and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 statistical package for descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and multiple regression. The results showed that a high perception of gender equality was significantly associated with a positive attitude toward the necessity of having children.
However, those experiencing more difficulties with work-family balance felt more burden of child rearing and had a negative perception toward the necessity of having children. On the other hand, the perception of utilizing work-family balance policy did not have a significant effect on the necessity of having children.
Based on these findings, this study suggested the importance of work-family balance based on the perception of gender equality as a way to overcome the low fertility and provided implications for population and family welfare policies.
