ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of “characteristics for household management” and “attitudes toward household management” on wives’ personal expenses. The data were obtained from the F-GENS Korea Panel Survey of Ochanomizu University. The responses were gathered from married people in Seoul and its surrounding metropolitan area. The sample for this study was comprised of 473 married women. ANOVA and multiple-regression models were used to analyze the data. The results are summarized below. First, 13.5 percent of the respondents have zero personal expenses. Second, the personal expenses among the wives differed depending on their annual average income levels. Also, their personal expenses differed based on their type of employment. Third, the “expenditure ratio for family” and “expenditure ratio for children” negatively affected their personal expenses. Fourth, the women who had responsibility for the management of their households had lower personal expenses than the others.
