Comparing the poverty before and after the 1997 economic crisis in Korea, this article analyses trends of male- and female-headed household in poverty and contributing factors to women"s poverty and suggest the anti-poverty strategies against women"s poverty on the basis of empirical results. The empirical results showed that the spread of poverty took place commonly for both male- and female-headed households after the economic crisis, but with greater intensity among the female-headed households. Even the individual characteristics related to human capital, often considered as protecting factors against poverty, had limited effects in protecting against women"s poverty. During the 1997 economic crisis, the gap of poverty level between male- and female-headed households increased substantially. After the economic crisis, the poverty spreaded even among the full-time working women, which indicated the general impoverishment of women in the all types of employment. Furthermore, the increase of the poverty rate among the female-headed households in the age group of 30-40 and without spouse could be interpreted as a result of divorce or family break-up due to financial difficulties since the economic crisis. On the basis of empirical analyses, this paper suggests that social safety nets for the female-headed households should be strengthened and the active labor market policy is needed in order to promote the integration of women into the labour market.
