다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper examines the factors affecting work decisions and working hours of married immigrant female in the context of an intrahoushold decision process, in which the husband plays a role in his wife`s decision on labor supply, using a national survey data. This study employs a hurdle model, in addition to the conventional Tobit model, which allow simultaneous estimation of the models determining participation decision and working hours. A two-step estimation procedure has been invented and used to resolve the endogeneity problems between housework hours and working hours. The results demonstrate work participation and working hours are negatively related with a negative attitude of husband. Also, the probability of work participation decreased as husband`s income is higher. The probability of work participation is positively related with employment capability, implying job placement education and acquirement of nationality would lower employment barriers. The other sociodemographic characteristics such as age, family size also play important roles in participation decisions and working hours of immigrant female.
