Abstract
Young single-person households are attracting worldwide attention. They need economic and social independence, and in order to solve the difficulties facing them, they must organize budgets, introduce policies, and promote projects according to the current trend. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of young single-person households’ self-esteem on their self-reliance. This study was to investigate the moderating effect of social support on the relationship between self-esteem and self-reliance among young single-person households. For this study, a survey was conducted on single young households living in Seoul. A total of 340 people responded to the survey, and 326 people’s data excluding the omission were analyzed. In addition, self-esteem was used as an independent variable, self-reliance will as a dependent variable, and social support as a modulating variable. The policy implications based on the analysis results of this study are as follows. First, since the situation of single youth households is different in each region across the country, a large and delicate survey should be preceded. Second, there is a need for a way to maximize one’s capabilities along with an understanding of oneself. Third, it was suggested that information sharing measures are needed through the formation of governance for single young households. Fourth, it was suggested that there is a need for an emergency fund loan system for single young households and a plan to replace deposits through the national guarantee system for single young households.
