Zusammenfassung: | The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in female education and how these changes have affected the labor market, during the period from Korean Independence until the present day. In order to achieve this purpose, concepts such as the awareness level of female education, present conditions of participation of educated women in the labor market and the changes to these factors were examined for gender equity. This paper achieves this goal by examining literature review, including research done on previous female education, participation of females in the labor market, and the patriarchal structure of Korean society.
The results of this analysis show that although there has been rapid growth in the quantitative measures of female education in Korea, there is a significant discrepancy between the level of female education and participation in the labor market. Therefore, the differences in the field of education between genders or among female groups should establish self-identity, by establishing an educational terrain where female value is not recognized as factor of diversity, and operating as a driving force for social change. For instance, female education in Korea has come to a point where it needs various educational policies that go beyond mere quantitative expansion and address the issues of qualitative education, the transition from education to the labor market, and take into consideration differences within the female group. This would firmly establish women, not merely as the subject of compensation due to discrimination, but as one of the primary foci of education. KCI Citation Count: 3 |
