A survey conducted in February 2025 on gender discrimination in South Korea revealed that more than **** of the respondents considered workplace discrimination against women to be a serious issue. The survey indicated that respondents generally viewed discrimination against women as more prevalent than discrimination against men in various areas, including the workplace, home, and school.

Gender discrimination in South Korea

South Korea has been working towards establishing a gender-equal society after a long history of male dominance. However, gender discrimination still exists, particularly affecting women. A survey revealed that women experience gender discrimination more often than men. This discrimination was complex and structural, occurring in all areas of society, including both professional environments and family settings.

Outlook on gender inequality

A survey conducted in 2024 revealed that only a small percentage of respondents were optimistic about seeing improvements in gender inequality in the near future. Despite this pessimism, some encouraging trends suggest potential advancements in gender equality and women's rights. Notably, the number of married women leaving the workforce to focus on parenting and household responsibilities has decreased. Additionally, as younger generations gain equal access to education and more opportunities for social advancement, it is anticipated that gender inequality will gradually lessen over time.
