Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of the study was to find the various adaptation types of non-old aged female-headed households after marital dissolution through using 31 cases of experiencing marital dissolution during 1st-10th waves of the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study(KLIPS) dataset. The main types of results were as follows: The first type is the ‘assets type’ who maintains a relative good standard of living based on their rich assets. The second type is the ‘earned income type’ who both the female heads and her adult children need to work in order to maintain their family budget. The third type is ‘informal support type’ that supports them by private aid. The fourth group is ‘remarriage type’ that regains their financial stability by remarriage-by acquiring a male-bread winner. The last group, ‘exclusion type’ is those who cannot escape from poverty because of their poor assets, weak support system (both formal and informal), and inferior employment position.
