배우자간 의사결정력에 따른 노부모로의 시간자원 이전 = Time Resource Transfers of Married Couples to Their Parents on Decision-Making Power

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper investigates whether intra-household bargaining power affects couples` caregiving decisions during instances of competing parental demands for assistance. The primary focus is on examining how partners` bargaining power influences the relative allocation of time resources between parents and parents-in-law, assuming that children prefer to transfer caregiving resources toward their own parents over their parents-in-law. The findings in this study reject the bargaining theory that couple`s parental care behavior results from a bargaining process between the husband and the wife. More specifically, the results did not clearly show that children prefer to transfer caregiving resources toward their own parents over their parents-in-law. Decision-making power, measured by final decision-making authority, also failed to affect the relative care transfers.
