Summary of Findings
摘要
Within a socio-cultural system characterised by patriarchal and male dominant values, these values become internalised and accepted as the prevailing norm, often without critical examination or deliberation. Adherence to these principles is habitual and instinctual, rather than being informed by a conscious understanding of the underlying rationale. Consequently, governmental support programmes for women exhibit a marked bias. It has been demonstrated that women engage in such behaviour voluntarily, primarily to avoid potential repercussions or to maintain harmonious relations. A number of younger males have been observed to demonstrate an awareness of gender discrimination as being unjust; however, they appear to be unaware of the ongoing persistence of such discriminatory practices. The result is that men are preoccupied with the perceived disadvantages of governmental support programmes for women in the context of the highly competitive labour market. Conversely, young women who were raised in liberal families do not wish to relinquish traditional gender roles. This has resulted in a divergence of opinion between the two genders among younger generations. Within the Korean labour market, women in the workforce encounter pervasive structural gender discrimination, which compels them to exert greater effort than their male counterparts to attain equivalent outcomes. The majority of these individuals receive support from their mothers, and their upbringing is instrumental in fostering their drive to overcome challenges.
