성 평등한 가족문화로의 전환

The Change of Gender Equality Culture within Family:A Focus on the Family Agreements on Farm Management

이 연구에서는 가족경영협약을 체결한 농가부부를 대상으로 협약체결이 가족문화에 미친 영향을 알아보았다. 협약워크북과 협약서를 통하여 부부들의 요구사항 및 협약내용을 분석하고, 심층면접을 통하여 협약이행 및 생활변화를 알아보았다. 연구결과, 요구사항은 가사분담, 의사결정 등 가족문화와 관련된 문제와 노동대가 및 자산분배와 같은 경제권 문제들이었다. 협약체결 후 남편의 가사참여가 증가하고, 서로 의논하여 농사와 가사를 결정하는 등 가부장적 문화가 해소되면서 성 평등한 가족문화로의 상당한 진전이 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 여성농업인의 노동 가치를 인정하여 현금, 부인명의 적금, 연금가입 등으로 보상하거나 농지나 주택을 부인명의로 이전하여 주었다. 결과적으로 가족경영협약은 여성농업인의 책임감 및 자부심을 높이고, 여성의 참여증가를 통하여 생산성 향상에도 기여하는 것으로 해석된다. 마지막으로 가족경영협약 확대실시 및 적극 추진을 위한 예산확보, 성인지적 농업정책의 지속적 추진의 필요성을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to find out how the family agreements on Farm management affected the 22 farmer couples who had signed up for the agreement in the area of gender equality within family culture. In order to see the impact of the agreement on family culture, the analysis on the workbook of the agreement and in-depth interviews were conducted. The following is the result of this study. The requirements that the couples wanted to ensure were about family-related matters such as sharing chores and daily lives, and those matters were taken shape in the regulations of the agreement through discussion and consent. After the agreement, the couples are more likely to discuss farm work and chores together than before. The agreement gave the couples an opportunity to remedy paternalism and make gender equality in family culture by increasing the extent to which husbands take part in chores and respect their wives' opinions. From the agreement, the farm households received either compensation of cash, installment savings under wife's name, and pension enrollment for woman's work in economic value, or land or house registration in the purpose of boosting confidence and vitality. In conclusion, it is shown that the family agreements on Farm management not only increased responsibilities and self-esteem followed by women' participation in farming but also contributed to improving productivity. With this result, Family agreements on Farm management should be expanded, and I suggest that achieving budget for the active promotion and encouraging gender sensitive agricultural polices be sought continuously.
