Abstract

Despite the rapid economic growth and the high level of educational achievement in Korea, the role of women in leadership positions is severely limited. A number of affirmative policies implemented to encourage women’s labour market participation, prohibit discrimination in personnel management, improve gender representation and so on seem to have some effect, but this is slow. Nevertheless, Korean women’s status is lower than those of many developing countries as seen by various official indices, with women leaders scarce and confined to certain sectors.
