기술발전과 여성 = Technological Development and Women

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Twentieth century technological development has liberated many women from household chores on the one hand and made it easier for employers to hirer more women on the other. From various cross-sectional studies it is clear that married women's labor force participation is negatively related to the level of household income less housewife's earnings and presence of ,voting age children in need of mother's care, and positively related to her education. But in Korean case married women's participation rate is negatively associated with their educational attainment except college graduates probably- dire to strong negative other income effects of their husband. From the stand point of time series analysis, housewives' $quot;homo wage$quot; has declined substantially over past decades due to (l.) extensive use of home appliances or home technology and (2) reduced number of children per family, thus contributing to increasing in married women's participation rate. Due to higher level of educational attainment of married women, their earning capacity in labor market has increased. This rising $quot;market wage$quot; of the women was accelerated by larger demand for female workers from industrial development, thanks to technological innovations. Thus, decline in home wage and rising market wage, both have operated positively to increase female's. labor force participation in the past, and is likely to continue in the future.
However, women's status in the labor market has little improved compared with the rise in participation rates. High wage differentials between sexes and low achievement of female labor force in occupational hierarchy are very much attributable to female's inevitable dual careers: one as a house mother and another as a professional career women. However, it cannot be denied that many women in the labor market are still deprived of equal opportunity in hiring, promotion and retirement processes.
Currently a bill is being prepared in Korea by the majority party for equal employment. opportunities law for female. Anything like $quot;affirmative action$quot; program would riot be acceptable to the society which has just come into a modernization ,process through a rapid. industrialization strategy, because of possible amid already existing backlash from male counterparts. For fairness of criteria to judge any anti-discrimination policy it is suggested that any attempt to improve my daughter's right should not infringe upon my son',, right. through his wife's gain in power, on the one hand, and any attempt to protect my son's right should not deprive my daughter of her basic human right through her husband's protection. of his existing rights. As a pragmatic: approach it is recommended that quality and quantity of child care facilities be improved, provide retraining programs for women reentering labor market after children have grown up, and make it illegal to induce female employee to resign after her marriage.
