Calculation of Household Size = 家族內 人口數 計算方法 硏究

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구의 목적은 가족수 변화의 장기적 추세를 시대 및 일생주기를 기준으로 조사하는데 있다. 가족수는 주거밀도를 결정하는 주요 변수로서, 본 연구는 가족수의 변화가 세대주의 연령 및 결혼후 시간의 흐름에 따른 함수라는 가정하에 멕시코의 중소도시에서 임의 추출된 633 세대를 대상으로 실시되었다. 본 연구결과에 의하면 가족수의 변화는 결혼후 5년 이내에 가장 빠른 증가율을 보였는데, 이것은 결혼 초기 생물학적 기능의 극대와 강한 출산욕에 따른 것으로 추정된다. 가족수의 절대값은 결혼후 20년에 최대를 기록하여, 가족수가 10명을 초과하는 세대가 10% 이상이었다. 결론적으로, 가족수의 장기적 추세는 연령 및 결혼후 시기에 의한 함수임이 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the longitudinal trend of residential mobility of urban households in Oaxaca, a secondary city of Mexico. Residential mobility refers to changing residence within a single housing market and within a single labor market in contrast to migration which involves moving from one housing or labor market to another(Rossi, 1995). For the individual household, the event of residential movement is one of the most important mechanisms for adjusting the housing and neighborhood to meet changing family needs and desires (Moore, 1972).
The data used in this study were gathered under a U.S. National Science Foundation Grant in the year of 1986-1987. Of the 633 households interviewed, only households with a female head living at the time of the interview were included in the study. The original data was transformed into the chronological order of each event. For example, a residential movement that occurred earliest was recorded at the top of a set of questions. The last movement, for example, 10th, was recorded at the 10th line and remaining lines between the standard number of residential movement (15) and the actual last order (10) were filled with 8.
In the analysis, there is a rapid decrease of mobility rate for the cohorts after 1960 in the early stage of family life. The mobility rate of the 1961-1970 cohort decreased from 2.26% in the first five year period to 0.83% in the second five year period. In contrast, the mobility rate for the cohort of 1951-1960 decreased less rapidly from 2.17% in the first five year period to 1.06% in the second five year period. This result suggests that couples formed since 1960 change their residence more frequently than previous formed couples at the early stage of the family life cycle.
