가족 기능 및 성 역할과 책임에 대한 인식 = Social Perceptions of Family Functions, Gender Roles and Responsibilities

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article is an analysis of family functions and values based on findings from the 2020 Survey of Public Perceptions and Values toward Policy Responses to Low-fertility and Aging Society, conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs in 2020. The most important among family functions turned out to be emotional support through communication between family members. Young people, single people, and individuals without children perceived emotional support as the most important of the family functions. Reproductive function was regarded as less important. In addition, traditional gender roles and responsibilities were no longer viewed as universal social norms, and estimates of family gender equality were lower in women than in men. One of the findings is that the reality has not changed in keeping with the rapid changes in the way people view gender roles and responsibilities within the family. In the future, family policies should be able to support the emotional function of family and equal roles and responsibilities in parenting and housekeeping.
