Abstract

This qualitative research is conducted to explore the balancing experience of work and child care of North Korean female defectors. Five of North Korean female defectors from double income family in their 40's were selected and interviewed. The interview data were analyzed by a phenomenological qualitative method. The five categories were derived from the data and included as follows: , , , , . Based on the results of the research the suggestions for practical services, such as parenting education, career path development programs and policies with gender perspective were made. Limitations of the research and further research recommendations were suggested as well.

본 연구는 남한에 거주하고 있는 북한이탈여성의 일과 자녀돌봄 양립 경험을 총체적으로 이해하고 분석하고자 실시되었다. 연구자는 서울 및 수도권에 거주하고 있는 맞벌이 가정의 북한이탈여성 5명을 선택하고 심층면접을 실시하여 자료를 수집하였다. 자료는 현상학적 질적연구 방법으로 분석하여 구성요소 5개와 하위구성요소 14개가 도출되었다. 연구결과 <북한에서의 성장 배경>을 가진 연구참여자들은 <탈북과정에서의 가족 해체 및 재구성>의 복잡한 과정을 거치면서 남한에 입국했다. <남한 정착과정에서 자녀돌봄의 어려움>과 <진로 선택과 취업 지속의 어려움>사이에서 고군분투했으며 그와 관련하여 <조화로운 일-자녀돌봄의 양립을 위한 제안>을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 북한이탈여성의 일과 자녀돌봄을 균형있게 양립할 수 있는 실천적 서비스를 위한 제안으로서 부모교육, 경력경로 형성 프로그램, 성인지적 관점의 정책개발을 제시하였다. 또한 연구의 한계와 후속연구에 대한 제언을 제공하였다.
