South Korean Remarriages
August 31st, 2006 | Published in NonGov Data
The South Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo used data on marriages to show that “women that have given birth but do not raise their children remarry or date men with an average annual salary of 70,630,000 won. But with one son the average drops to 57,400,000 won. With one daughter the average rate was 62,690,000 won.” The paper studied more than 1,000 remarriages with the assistance of Dr. Yoo Sung-ryeol, a professor in the Division of Social Welfare at Baekseok University located at South Chungcheong Province, “using the Computer-Assisted Reporting (CAR) method.” Cool.
