ABSTRACT Family responsibilities for women are often associated with precarious employment. This relation varies depending on whether women can reconcile family life and work or not. Based on the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study from 1998 to 2008 and on the French part of the European Community Household Panel between 1998 and 2001, a multiple correspondence analysis shows that precariousness in employment is correlated with family life and levels of education. The better conditions of work-family balance in France enable young mothers to combine family life with stable employment of good quality, which is not the case for South Korean women. The comparison of the two countries highlights the necessary reforms in favor of women’s better being.

韩国女性就业不稳定：与法国比较的见解

摘要 妇女的家庭责任往往与不稳定的就业有关。这种关系取决于女性能否兼顾家庭生活和工作。基于 1998 年至 2008 年的韩国劳工和收入小组研究以及 1998 年至 2001 年欧洲共同体家庭小组法国部分的多重对应分析表明，就业不稳定与家庭生活和教育水平相关。法国更好的工作与家庭平衡条件使年轻母亲能够将家庭生活与稳定的高质量就业结合起来，而韩国女性则不然。两国的比较突出了有利于妇女更好生活的必要改革。
