This study is to arrange of Family Life Cycle(FLC) indices that extracted form combination of two men´s vital number by the life table and to find out the influences of the decrease of mortality and the extention of average life to FLC.
At the same time, as through inverstigating the family health problems, I´d like to provide the basic data that specially needs to settle and progess of the community health service based on the family health in Korea.
This study calculated all sorts of FLC indices from the couple, Father and son or Mother-in law and daughter-in-law, etc. by two men´s combinations different from the view of existing studies that estimated FLC indices based on the one side of couple in a couple family started from marriage of male and female.
And calculated it from 1926-30 and 1991´s Life Table in Korea to observe the change of FLC indices.
The results of the study are as follows in brief :
1. FLC indices of couple
1) The average marriage period for couples of bridegroom of 28 years old and bride of 25, which was 25.0 years in 1926~30, is now(1991) about 38.7 years.
2) The mortality rate of husband died before wife vs. wife died before husband has increased from 0.57 against 0.41 in 1926~30 to 0.78 against 0.22 in 1991.
2. Father and son´s FLC Indices
1) Taking an example of father aged 50 and successing son aged 20, father´s day will continue 21. 5 years from now and the son will succeed his father at age of 42, expecting to last for 30 years.
2) The ratio of father´s death before son vs. son´s death before father has indreased from 0.19 against 0.74 in 1926~30 to 0.06 against 0.95 in 1991.
3. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law´s FLC Indices
1) Average future co-living period of such pairs as daughter-in-law 25 and mother-in-law 55 has increased from 11.5 years to 21.5 years between 1926~30 and 1991, and average duration of wife´s life after death of mother-in-law has increased from 18.7 years to 22.6 years during this period.
2) The daughter-in-law´s average death age has ascended 11.2 years to 69.2 years old in 1991, the mother-in-law´s average death age has ascended 18.2 years old from 77.0 years old in 1926~30 to 95.2 years old in 1991.
