Abstract
The proportion of young adults living in single-person households in South Korea has been
rapidly increasing in recent years. In particular, the economic and social independence of young
adults in these households is crucial. To prevent issues such as extreme choices and crime, as
well as to address the difficulties they face, it is necessary to allocate budgets, introduce
appropriate policies, and implement initiatives in line with the current trend. These measures
need to be implemented. This study aimed to examine the influence of self-esteem on the
independence of young single-person households and to investigate the extent to which social
support affects the relationship between self-esteem and independence.

1. Introduction
In South Korea, stress caused by poverty, career anxiety, and interpersonal
relationships is expanding to depression and burnout, resulting in a growing number of young
single-person households that can have negative consequences such as suicide and crime. (Youth
Policy Planning Officers, 2023) The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of self-
esteem on the willingness of young single-person households in South Korea, focusing on the
effect of social support. And it is to propose policy implications according to the research results.
In South Korea, young people are defined as the generation M (millennial generation)
born between 1980 and 1994 and the generation Z born between 1995 and 2010 as the so-called
Generation MZ. (McCrindle et. al., 2023)
According to a press release by the (Youth Policy Planning Officers, 2023), single-
person young households accounted for 22.6% of young households in 2022. Looking at the
specific types of households, 53.3% of households were composed of parents and unmarried
young people, The number of single-person households for young people, which has been on the
rise recently, was 22.6%, followed by 7.2% for young couples and 6.0% for young couples and
children. Single youth households are never a small proportion.
Young single-person households are vulnerable in terms of housing, health,
relationships, and cost of living, and the rate of depression and suicidal thoughts was also higher
than that of all young people, and the rate of having families to contact when depressed or
stressed was low. (Cheong, 2022) There are various tasks for the government to solve to improve
the willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet.

2. Literature Review
In the literature review, we tried to examine prior studies related to the "will of young
single-person households to stand on their own feet," but we looked at previous studies that
contributed academically to the "independence of young single-person households" because
there were no prior research data. Previous research data were selected only from data from the
last five years.

According to a study by Kim and Lee (2023) that conducted an average of 26 hours of
in-depth interviews with 12 young men and women per person, single-person households have
continued to grow through their own lives. Leaving their existing family members, they have
continued to grow by adapting to a newly changed independent life and experiencing both sides
of freedom. Two-sidedness to freedom refers to the part of a free life from parents and difficult
parts such as loneliness alone or physical and mental health care of oneself. However, just as
each person has different characteristics and circumstances, it was found that society wants to
pay a wide and diverse attention to young people in single-person households who are making
overall development.
In addition, according to a study by Kim (2019), the factors affecting the housing
poverty of young households were analyzed, 33.1% of housing-poor households did not meet the
minimum housing standard or were burdened with housing costs. The results related to meeting
the minimum housing standard according to the residential area were less likely to fall short of
the minimum housing standard as they lived in large cities. As a result of analyzing factors
affecting whether young households are subject to excessive housing costs, it was found that
whether low-income single-person households, current income and whether they live in large
cities have an effect. Finally, as a result of analyzing the factors affecting whether young
households are subject to housing poverty, gender, the number of years of education, the
presence of low-income single-person households, current income, and whether they live in large
cities have a significant impact.
According to a study by Kim and Kang (2020), the average monthly total living cost
of young single-person households was the lowest compared to other young households, and the
expenditure on income was high, confirming that there was insufficient preparation for the crisis
or the future. In particular, policies such as reduction and subsidy support for items that are
increasingly burdened with education, transportation, communication, and financial costs, in
addition to traditional housing costs, need to be proposed.
The referenced literature can be seen as a meaningful study by presenting the current
status of young single-person households and problems viewed from various aspects and
providing alternatives to them. The described literature allowed a more in-depth review of the
subject of this study.

3. Research needs and Research issues

In conducting the study, the current status and problems of young single-person
households in South Korea were mentioned as to why this study is necessary at this point, the
contents to be aimed through the study were summarized, and research questions were also
mentioned.

3.1. The Need for Research

While the issue of single-person households is emerging as a concern around the
world, the proportion of single-person households in South Korea has recently increased rapidly
(Kim, 2019). The number of young people who used to live alone due to school or work is
increasing, which means that most young people in their 20s and 30s live alone. (Kang and Lee,
2016) In modern society, the social problems of young single-person households are gradually
increasing. (Jeong and Oh, 2020)
Many people suffered from the unusual epidemic that hit the world, and at one point
changed our lives, cutting off all societies. (Hong, 2021) COVID-19 has caused serious health,
economic, and social problems around the world in various forms. (Varga, J., and Csiszárik-
Kocsir, Á., 2022) In South Korea, through the social distancing policy, everyone wore masks and
introduced online classes and telecommuting, minimizing conversations and meetings with many
people. (Kim, 2021) Since then, as social distancing policies have been strengthened due to the
spread of COVID-19, young people, especially single-person households, have spent more time
alone at home. (Jeong and Oh, 2020)
If you spend more time alone, your self-esteem decreases and your willingness to
stand on your own feet decreases, which can eventually turn into a dependent life This can be
proved by the fact that the number of deaths from suicide and solitary deaths in single-person
households is increasing significantly every year. (South Korea Government, 2020) On top of
that, as the number of single-person young households has soared, many young people in their
20s and 30s are still inexperienced in terms of economic and social independence. (Am, 2013)
For this reason, young people who live alone and do not know how to overcome
various isolated environments make extreme choices, commit crimes, or eventually return to
their families. (Ji, 2020)

As the increase in the number of single-person households for young people has
already become a reality, budgeting, policy introduction, and project promotion are needed to
prevent problems for single-person households in their 20s and 30s. (South Korea Government,
2020)

3.2. Purpose of Research and Research Issues

 What is the impact of young single-person households on their self-esteem and
willingness to stand on their own feet?
 What is the effect of social support of young single-person households on their
willingness to stand on their own feet?
 Does the effect of self-esteem of young single-person households on their willingness to
stand on their own feet differ depending on social support?
Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the effect of self-esteem of young single-person
households on their willingness to stand on their own feet, and to verify whether social support
has a moderating effect on young single-person households' willingness to stand on their own
feet and self-esteem.

4. Methodology
In conducting the study, the method of selecting and recruiting samples and the
research tools to be used to analyze the survey results were mentioned. In addition, variables,
scales, and data that are the basis for preparing the questionnaire were introduced, and
hypotheses for this study were provided.

4.1. Sample
For this study, a survey was conducted on young single-person households living in
Gangnam-gu, Guro-gu, and Gwanak-gu through online communities. A total of 340 single-
person households responded to the survey, and 326 data were analyzed, excluding missing
contents.

4.2. Analysis Method

As research tools, the SPSS (Ver. 25.0) statistical program was used for frequency
analysis, independent sample t-test, one-way batch variance analysis (ANOVA), and cross-

84
Socialis Series in Social Science
ISSN 2583-1585

analysis. In addition, demographic and sociological characteristics, independent variables, and

moderating effects were verified through hierarchical regression analysis.

4.3. Variable Selection

Among the survey items, demographic and sociological characteristics (Residential
area, age, education, age, gender, marriage experience, occupation, employment type, religion),
and Housing characteristics (residential type, residential occupancy type), Economic
characteristics (average monthly income, main source of income, the largest share of average
monthly expenditure, debt status, and use of debt) were set as control variables, and self-esteem
was used as an independent variable. On top of that, the dependent variables are self-reliance
will, confidence, self-control, and willingness to work were used as sub-variables. In addition,
social support was selected as a moderating effect, and emotional support, information support,
material support, and evaluation support were used as sub-variables.

4.4. Measuring Tool

The questionnaire was prepared based on Bo-Hye Kim "The Effects of College Life
Stress and Self-esteem on University Life Adaptation", and Hyo-Sook Shin "The mediating
effect of Self-esteem on the Relationship between the parenting attitude of the facility owner
caregiver perceived by group home teenagers and the willingness to stand on their own feet" and
Eun-Jung Shim's "A Study on the Accumulation of Academic Stress and the Effect of Social
Support on Depression in the Judicial Examination Preparatory Group". Based on this, the
questions were revised in consideration of the subjects, and a total of 80 questions were written
on the effect of the moderating effect of self-esteem and social support of young single-person
households on their willingness to stand on their own feet.
All questions except demographic, residential, and economic characteristics were
allowed to be answered on a Likert 5-point scale as '1) Not at all 2) It's not like that 3) It's normal
4) It's like that 5) It’s very much like that'. In addition, if "other" was checked in the
questionnaire on job and employment type, religion, residential characteristics, the largest
proportion of average monthly expenditures, and the use of debt, it should be written in detail.
All data in this study used literature surveys, Internet searches, and questionnaires.

4.5. Research Hypothesis

It is intended to verify how the self-esteem and social support factors of young single-
person households affect their willingness to stand on their own feet by classifying them into
emotional support, informational support, material support, and evaluation support.
 First, demographic and sociological factors will affect the will to self-reliance.
 Second, the higher the self-esteem, the more likely it will affect the willingness to
stand on its own feet.
 Third, self-reliance will be different depending on social support in affecting self-
esteem.

5. Analysis
The results of analyzing the effect of self-esteem of young single-person households
on their willingness to stand on their own feet were summarized according to demographic
characteristics and each variable. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to
find out the moderating effect of social support.

5.1. Demographic Characteristics

According to the demographic and sociological characteristics of the study
respondents, 209 women (64.1%) and 117 men (35.9%) were the most common, In the case of
age, 144 people (44.2%) were aged 30 to 34, followed by 110 people (33.7%) aged 25 to 29, 41
people (12.6%) aged 20 to 24, and 31 people (9.5%) aged 35 to 39, In the case of residential
areas, Guro-gu had the highest response rate with 122 people (37.4%) followed by Gwanak-gu
with 109 people (33.4%) and Gangnam-gu with 95 people (29.1%).

5.4. The Effect of Self-Esteem on Self-Reliance Willingness of Young Single-Person

Households
As a result of conducting a hierarchical regression analysis to find out the factors
affecting the willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet, gender
(β=.26, p<.).001) and liabilities (β=.12, p<.05) were found to be statistically significant in the
willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet. In addition, as a result
of regression analysis that added self-esteem to the factors affecting the independence of existing
single-person households, the explanatory power of the willingness to stand alone increased by
48.4% compared to the results of controlling demographic variables. As a result of conducting a
variance analysis to examine the suitability of the regression model, F=70.04 (p<.).Since 001),
this regression model is statistically significant. As a result of examining each regression

coefficient, self-esteem (β=.75, p<.001) It was analyzed that only variables were statistically
significant for the willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet.

5.5. The Moderating Effect of Social Support

As a result of analyzing the moderating effect of social support in the relationship
between self-esteem and self-reliance of young single-person households, When self-esteem and
social support variables were input, the explanatory power was 62.8%, which increased
significantly by 50.5% (FF=215.15, p<.).001). And the results of the analysis by inputting the
interaction term between the independent variable and the moderating variables, The explanatory
power increased significantly by 0.5% to 63.3%, and the moderating effect was verified
(FF=4.41, p<.05). These results mean that the self-esteem of young single-person households not
only has a positive direct effect on their willingness to stand on their own feet, but also has a
moderating effect in their relationship with social support.

6. Discussion
In the discussion session, policy implications for this were derived as the factors
influencing the willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet showed
significant moderating effects of self-esteem and social support. In addition, the limitations of
this study and suggestions for future research were proposed.

6.1. Policy Implications

Policy implications based on the analysis results of this study are as follows.
First of all, since the status of young single-person households varies by region, a large
and delicate survey should be preceded.
Second, the higher the self-esteem of young single-person households, the higher the
willingness to stand on their own feet. It is interpreted that self-esteem has increased to improve
the willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet. To increase self-
esteem, it is necessary to maximize one's capabilities as well as understanding oneself.
Third, it was found that social support had a moderating effect on the relationship
between self-esteem and self-reliance of young single-person households. In particular, it was
suggested that material and information support were needed in social support, and that measures
to expand the community and share information of young single-person households were needed
to meet information support.
Fourth, it was found that social support had a moderating effect on the relationship
between self-esteem and self-reliance of young single-person households. In particular, social
support seemed to require more material support and information support, and it was suggested
that to meet material support, an emergency fund loan system for single young households and a
national guarantee system for single young households are needed.

7. Conclusion
According to this study, the self-esteem of young single-person households had a
significant effect on their willingness to stand on their own feet. In addition, it was analyzed that
the demographic characteristics also affect the gender of young single-person households and the
presence or absence of debt. In addition, the moderating effect of self-esteem and social support
is also significant, showing the need for self-esteem and social support in young single-person
households.
According to Nam (2021), young single-person households have social support such
as family, friends, and colleagues who do not live together, but the size varies depending on each
individual and the policy or administrative system of the community they live in. This is a
testament to the need for policy implications proposed through this study that each local

91
Socialis Series in Social Science
ISSN 2583-1585

government should make efforts to derive more effective results by identifying the detailed
characteristics of young single-person households.
In addition, according to a study by Lim (2022), the impact of the overburden of
housing costs on the mental health of young single-person households was the greatest compared
to other age groups. As can be seen from these results, it was confirmed that the presence or
absence of debt and self-esteem in young single-person households affected their willingness to
stand on their own feet.
As a result of conducting this study, it was possible to identify positive factors on in
the willingness of young single-person households to stand on their own feet, and discussions on
policy and practical measures should continue to expand and spread these factors. (Kim and Lee,
2023)

7.1. Limitations of the Study

First, this study has limitations in generalizing the total number of young single-person
households as it excludes young people from other regions by sampling only young single-
person households living in Gangnam-gu, Guro-gu, and Gwanak-gu in Seoul, Korea.
Second, among the respondents' age groups, 254 people (77.9%) were aged 25-29 and
30-34, and accordingly, there is a limit to generalizing young people aged 20-24 and 35-29.
Third, in this study, the proportion of single-person female households (64.1%) was
significantly higher than that of single-person male households (35.9%) and it was confirmed
that single-person female households accounted for a larger proportion, but there is a limit to not
analyzing the cause.
Fourth, in this study, only young households in Korea were studied. The current status
of single-person overseas youth households has limitations in reflecting the reality of single-
person overseas youth households.

7.2. Scope of Future Research

In the follow-up study, first, a comparative analysis should be attempted through a
study of young single-person households in two or more metropolitan governments in Korea.
This will be of research significant value, especially when comparing urban and rural areas.

92
Socialis Series in Social Science
ISSN 2583-1585

Next, it seems necessary to adjust the response ratio of the age group and analyze it in
a state where various young people are evenly distributed. Only then can it be applied as a basis
for generalization of the results.
Third, it will be necessary to analyze the factors that cause the high proportion of
single female youth households. This can be used as a good basis for proposing policies for
single female youth households.
Finally, in the follow-up study, it is necessary to attempt a comparative analysis
through a study of single-person overseas households and single-person households in Korea,
which is expected to be a meaningful study compared to the characteristics of single-person
households in other countries.
