Gender equality

 Gender equality is socially valuable goods and opportunities, such as would require that women and men are equally to enjoy rewards. Gender equality is not to mean that the presence of women the same as men, meaning that they have various opportunities and equality of life chances.

  It achieves gender equality is to require changes in social relationships and execution of institutional strengthening and maintaining inequality. It also needs a strong voice for women in forming their community.

Reverse Discrimination.

 Systems and devices created to protect those who are unjust discrimination is too strong, the other side would rather receive this discrimination.

 

 1. High-speed advancement, gender differences?

 

 Korean men are higher than the chances of promotion and opportunities for women. The reason for occupation rights of man, we divide into the following three.

 

First. The physical reasons.

 Women may have less physically developed than in men. So the ability to produce low women than men in the same time. But South Korea is not to give a differential in wages according to gender. (Because most, wage differences between men and women think that gender discrimination.) From the perspective of corporate CEO who wants to produce more profits, the preferential of male workers increased the professional efficiency in fact.

 

Second. (In conjunction with the first reason,) there are differences in the ability of men and women. 

 Physical reasons. Women are somewhat demanding in-house welfare, such as menstruation leave and parental leave. Most companies in Korea, In-house welfare is regarded as 'expenditure'. Men are less demanding 'expenditure' (Here, expenditure is meant for welfare.) than women, inevitably higher than the occupational rights of women.

 

Third. Men and knowing the organizational culture, women do not know the difference.

 In Korea, most men go to the army. The army is representative of the organizational culture. Men held the army is naturally learn the corporate culture. However, women do not have the opportunity to understand the organizational culture well before employment. So businesses prefer men. Because easily adapt to the corporate culture based on previous experience and flexible to respond to the instructions of the boss is possible. Acting strongly to society, 'capitalist' logic makes that depending on the mechanical efficiency puts advantage on gender.

   

 

2. Two works, two kinds of opportunities?

                                               Only that this is the best way?

    

Recently, As the term 'dual-career' often appeared, career woman to parallel work and child care is increasing. I felt such a society unfortunately. Overall social atmosphere in korea was composition that burdensome situation for women to parallel work and child care was considered granted.

  In Korea, Women's job was accepted as if it were mandatory not optional. Moreover, the duties of child care is still a woman after marriage. In these circumstances, women must choose one of childcare and work.

 

I want to throw a new question here.

" Why choose between a career and childcare, it should be given all the responsibility only to women? " I feel regret that the question itself, 'Do you agree to give more opportunities to women who want a career in parallel with Childcare?' 

 Because eventually this question will be disproved that korea society has forced women still only concurrent responsibility of the job and Childcare.

Of course, willing to try to parallel work and child-rearing is a strong career woman, It is necessary in the dimension of efficient use of socially human resources to provide opportunities for economic activities. However, we think that it is necessary to society that women only given the responsibility of fully child care is improved. Women and men to lead a moral obligation to make the quality of Childcare together, To be able to reduce the simultaneous burden of women of child-rearing and work at the national level, it is necessary to take advantage of the child care welfare system of man. (Men and women must provide the opportunity to not receiving a burden to between equally work with childcare.)

  No more conflicts between Childcare and work with men and women is not a burden, many countries and companies and individuals that should strive.
