Purpose: The purpose of this study was to understand the difference of childbirth perception between 200 unmarried men and women, and to identify the correlates of childbirth intentions.
Methods: Participants were 200 unmarried adult men and women in D city. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study, and data were collected from June 6 to 16, 2015. We measured general characteristics, intention of childbirth, values on family formation, financial barrier to childbirth, and effectiveness of birth support policies.
Results: Men had the higher willingness to childbirth than women, while women placed more significant value on family formation rather than childbirth itself. Women were more positive thinking about the dual-income and tend to avoid giving birth due to concerning about job retention. Women reported economic problems as barriers to childbirth. Women were aware that the financial support system would be helpful to increase birth rate, while men were aware that child care system would be effective to increase birth rate.
Conclusion: Economic factors had significant impact on childbirth intention, while values related to family formation had no impact on childbirth intention. In the home and community, the couple’s joint efforts and practical policies that encourage birth are required for women to maintain working and to balance family work, maternity work, and job work after childbirth.
