Q. Is this ranking a sign of a problem that
should be addressed?
A. I think that gender inequality is
serious in South Korea. It seems that our country still thinks that men are
superior to women. In fact, men sometimes receive more wages at work than women.
This is a sign of a problem that must be addressed.
Q. Why fewer women enroll in college/university
in Korea than men?
A. In past Korean society, women often
married and stayed at home rather than getting a job. For this reason, women
often did not study at university. However, in the present Korean society,
women often get a job. So many women go to college like men and learn what they
want to study. Nevertheless, I think the reason why the number of enrolled
women is less than that of men is because the number of women is small.
Q. What kind of changes are needed to
resolve gender inequality?
A. In order to resolve gender inequality we
must eliminate stereotypes. We unconsciously hold that men are superior to
women. The inequality problem can be solved by eliminating such thoughts. It
should also legally regulate behaviors that cause gender inequalities, such as
giving more wages to men and hiring men first.
