“…The fewer paid hours a wife works, the greater the responsibilities and roles for childcare. This may increase married women's childcare time, thereby widening the gender gap even further (Choi et al, 2019b). Per relative resource theory, the proportion of public resources available can influence decisions for distributing household care responsibilities.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to overcome the limitations of studies on work-life balance, which have focused on Western countries without considering “mental” dimensions of gendered childcare. By concentrating on South Korea as a case study, this paper also aims to examine how the gendered division of childcare changed when Korea's work-life/family policy followed European work-family conciliation policy.Design/methodology/approachThe Korean Time Use Survey (KTUS) in 2009 and 2019 are used for multiple regression analyses. Based on discussions about theories on unpaid work distribution within households and its stratification effects, this study examines the relationship between wife's and husband's behaviors and the stratification effects in the gendered division of childcare alongside the work-life/family policy change.FindingsSubstantial findings indicate the necessity of strengthening various legal and institutional structures that might increase husbands' characteristics of caring masculinities. Additionally, while policies developed to support flexible working arrangements, low-income women at risk of being trapped in dual poverty of time and income should be carefully considered.Originality/valueThis study focuses especially on South Korea, thereby contributing to understanding how national policy and gendered distribution of childcare are related. Notably, this link has not been widely discussed in the literature on work-life balance. It also suggests viable directions for future policies depending on gender and socioeconomic status.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between working environments and parenting burden in women workers. Methods: A total of 1,033 married women were selected from the database of the 7th Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF). Parenting burden and working environments were calculated based on responses of the KLoWF. Univariate and multivariate analyses ware performed to assess the crude and adjusted associations using PASW 18.0. Results: There was an independently positive association between excessive working (b = 0.37, p < 0.001), irregular working (b = 0.17, p < 0.001), temporal oppression on workload (b = 0.08, p = 0.011) and parenting burden in women workers after adjusting for socio-demographics. Conclusions: This study suggests that working environments are important factors for parenting burden in women workers. The findings of this study will be helpful to policy makers to design plans to decrease the parenting burden in women workers.
