Career Planning, Employment, and Career Development among Young Female High School Graduates 다운로드
The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of career planning, employment and career development among young women with a high school diploma, and to recommend related youth employment policies. The research methods applied are: review of previous studies and policy documents; statistical analysis; questionnaire survey; and holding advisory group meetings. Immediately after graduating from vocational high school, women enjoy greater employment opportunities and higher quality of job than do men. However, after five years the gender gap in employment opportunities, job stability, and compensation begins to widen and women become bound into more unfavorable conditions. The majority of female workers with a high school diploma are less determined to sustain their present employment status and see a lower chance of developing their career to a higher level. Based on the results of analysis, this study recommends: improving the governance of youth employment policies and gender balance; prevention of career disruption among female workers with a high school diploma; improvement of conditions for combining work and learning; support for young female graduates from general high schools; introducing a lifelong career education for female high school students; and follow-up studies on employment and career development among young female workers with a high school diploma.
The Women Manager Panel Survey: Moving beyond the glass ceiling to become a core workforce 다운로드
While it is undeniable that the utilization of female talent is essential in achieving the government’s agenda of a 70% overall national employment rate, as of 2013 the employment rate of women aged 15 or older stands at a mere 48.8%. The women managers panel survey is the nation’s only survey targeting female workers in managerial position. It surveyed companies with 100 or more employees across all industries that had female workers in positions of deputy section chief or higher. The panel examines organizational variables, personal variables, and circumstantial variables affecting female managers in their work and personal lives while surveying the human resources management and utilization of female employees of companies. Based on the results of the survey, it was concluded that the leadership training for female managers provided by the government-run Female Talent Academy needs to be further expanded in order to increase the ratio of female managers and administrators within companies. Moreover, a female administrator quota needs to be incrementally introduced to companies with 100 or more employees in consideration of the scale of the company and voluntary participation by companies in affirmative action measures should be encouraged.
A Comparison of Women- and Family-Related Legislation between South and North Korea Basic Direction for Integration 다운로드
In the fields of politics and economics, there have been various efforts direced at identifying the gaps between legislation in South and North Korea for the purpose of planning for future integration. In the areas of women and families, however, no comprehensive studies in preparation for reunification have yet been pursued. This study pursued a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of the North’s laws and legislation related to women and families, and then attempted to compare them to those in the South. First, we reviewed the development process of women- and family- related legislation in the South and the North in the years since their division, particularly focusing on working women engaging in work and family life by stage of life. Second, we sorted women- and family-related laws and legislation in the South and North into six different categories: gender equality; women and work; violence against women; women’s health and reproductive rights; family; and workfamily balance. Each category was examined in terms of major laws and key content. Third, we compared and analyzed the legal systems of the South and the North according to these six categories, and finally presented a basic direction for the integration of the two systems focusing on women and family issues in the context of Korean reunification.
A Gender-Sensitive Analysis of Precedents related to Violence against Women 다운로드
A gender-sensitive analysis of precedents related to violence against women is expected to resolve male-centered social norms while addressing the power imbalance between men and women, thus setting a direction for a more balanced life for men and women. It should also contribute to ensuring the human rights of women, who constitute the majority of violence victims, as well as to actualize the vision of Article 10 of the Korean Constitution: “All citizens shall be assured of human worth and dignity.” With the progress in laws relating to women and the family, a number of precedents dealing with violence against women have been accumulated. However, there has yet to be a quantitative study analyzing these precedents in earnest, let alone one providing suggestions for improvement. In this study, a gender-sensitive approach will be applied in order to analyze precedents concerning violence against women, particularly sexual and domestic violence, and to propose a number of legislative tasks. This study addresses the history of laws related to violence against women, changes in the way these laws have been applied, a gender-sensitive analysis of precedents concerning sexual and domestic violence, and suggestions for legislative tasks. Several methods were employed in the study, including a literature review, collection and analysis of precedents relating to sexual and domestic violence, workshops on the respective topics of precedents relating to violence against women, and expert meetings seeking advisement. Regarding precedents for sexual violence, 705 cases of rape and forced indecent acts brought to courts of third instance between 2000 and 2013 were analyzed. For precedents regarding domestic violence, 56 family protection cases focusing on violence, injuries and assaults by spouses and 582 additional criminal cases were analyzed from a gender-sensitive perspective. From a gender-sensitive perspective, legislative tasks proposed based on the sexual violence precedents include the prescription of all acts of non-consensual sexual contact, even in the absence of manifest physical resistance, and the refinement of sexual violence laws. Legislative tasks proposed based on domestic violence precedents include a change in the legislative paradigm for laws addressing special cases of domestic violence and actualization of punishment levied on domestic violence crimes. Other suggestions include expanding awareness of gender sensitivity and human rights sensitivity among law enforcement officials.
Intervention and Support for Victims of Sexual Violence and Their Families 다운로드
With sexual violence emerging as an increasingly serious social issue, demand for related policies is on the rise. Policies and support services have accordingly been developed or expanded in various sectors, but support services for victims and their families are still severely insufficient. Hence, this study focused primarily on intervention and support for families of victims of sexual violence. In-depth interviews were carried out in order to gauge the needs and desires of victims of child and intrafamilial sexual abuse and their families. In addition, the problems and current status of intervention and support systems for families of sexual abuse victims were evaluated. Based on the research findings, effective methods to support and intervene with victims of child and intrafamilial sexual abuse and their families were suggested.
Transnational Family Networks of Multicultural Families and Related Policy Implications 다운로드
The lives of migrants and their family members are closely related to a number of broad connections spanning from the destination society to the country of origin. The prospects of multicultural families, including the families of marriage migrants and of naturalized immigrants, are not limited simply to Korean society, but extend to and are closely related with migrants’ country of origin. This study surveyed a total of 534 marriage migrant women from China (including ethnic Koreans), Vietnam and the Philippines on general aspects of their transnational family networks, care support from their homeland for the birth or raising children, future family invitations, plans to return, attitudes, values, and experience of discrimination. The results of the analysis showed that a significant number of multicultural families show characteristics of transnational families who live an environment in which family members transit and exchange economic resources and emotions across borders. Also, changes in the family cycle of homeland families will also effect the directionality of transnational family networks. In order to address the current situations and project the futures of multicultural families, it is critical to hold a transnational perspective, including on relationships with homeland family members.
Management Strategies and Methods for Gender Impact Assessment 다운로드
This study provides an analysis of management strategies and methods for Gender Impact Assessment (GIA) three years after the implementation of the Gender Impact Analysis and Assessment Act. It focuses on the mid- to long-term plans of the government and projects by public institutions in the policy areas of culture and agriculture/forestry. The following conclusions have been drawn: GIA methods should be developed separately for newly- and re-established plans. In order to strengthen the quality of GIA, there is a need to create a high-level cooperation framework between the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, which directs the management of the GIA system, and central administrations/local governments responsible for the establishment of plans. There is a need for a project framework under which the project planning division of a central government ministry and the project execution division of a public institution assume joint responsibility for GIA. When a public institution executes a project, basic data on project beneficiaries and project evaluations should be collected, which can then be used for analysis on the divergent needs of men and women.
