Q1.

Howe et al. recommend that if Korea wants to remain an economic power as it is today, it will have to be more open to women who want to have both kids and career. Would you agree or disagree with them?

 
A.

I agree with this. When women work at work, economic strength will rise.

Jobs will also be created by needing someone to take care of their children.

However, Korea has a lower percentage of dual income households compared to other OECD countries.

This is because the men's share of housework is low, and if it is solved, it will be easier for women to get a job.
