Gender equality is both directly and indirectly related to national economic development and competitiveness according to various research related gender. The World Bank has stated that rate of economic growth shows a significant positive correlation with gender equality. Also, countries with a higher level of gender inequality tend to demonstrate a higher level of poverty. Accordingly, countries have implemented a range of policies targeting gender equality.
Korea has been making ongoing efforts to promote gender equality. However, according to gender equality indices published by International Organizations, gender equality in Korea stands considerably lower than other OECD countries, which indicates that customs and systems in Korea still needs to be adjusted, in order to secure sustainable development and improved quality of life.
To achieve this, it appears necessary to identify the level of gender inequality, its sources, and the level of improvement in each sector of the society and in the nation as a whole. Therefore in 2009, Korea Women’s Development Institute conducted the research on the development gender equality indicators which select in major fields carrying our gender equality policies, develop and measure the national gender equality index to review overall level of gender equality in Korea.
The value of the South Korean Gender Equality Index is designed to rise from ‘0.0’ (perfectly unequal) to ‘100.0’ (perfectly equal) as the level of gender equality improves. According to this measure, the nation's Gender Equality Index stood at 67.4 in 2011, a slight increase from the previous year. The index value continued to rise from 67.4 in 2011 to 68.9 in 2014. According to the trend of the Korean Gender Equality Index, gender equality of Korea has improved slightly 67.4 in 2011 to 70.1 in 2015.
In terms of sector, public health marked the highest level of gender equality(95.4) in 2015, followed by education and vocational training(93.4), culture and information(87.1), welfare(71.6), economic activity(71.5), and family(70.0). The decision-making(25.4) area showed the lowest level of gender equality, followed by safety(55.4). Compared to 2011, family sector made the greatest progress, decision-making, public health, welfare, culture and information, economic activity. Meanwhile, the level of gender equality in the safety sector was aggravated. In addition, the scores of national gender equality indicators are 63.4, 74.1 and 78.5 respectively in which the degree of gender-equal participation in society, awareness and culture of gender equality, women's rights and welfare, etc., are included.
However, according to the trend in the National Gender Equality Index, South Korea has made constant progress in gender equality. When compared with other countries, however, the international ranking is little dropped. This could be attributable to the fact that although the levels related to the gender equality indicators have improved overall, the pace of progress in reducing the gender gap is slow.
It is also due to severe inequality in certain areas, including decision-making sector, safety sector. As a result, South Korea's ranking is gradually progressing in the UNDP's GII. However, it remains within the low ranking group in the WEF's GGI of which only considers the gender gaps when estimating the level of gender equality.
In Korea, the Framework Act on Women’s Development was restructured into the Framework Act on Gender Equality which began to be implemented in July, 2015. And in order to make possible quantitative measurements of the national level of gender equality, the Minister of Gender Equality and Family shall develop and disseminate national gender equality indicators in which the degree of gender-equal participation in society, awareness and culture of gender equality, women's rights and welfare, etc., are included. Furthermore The Minister of Gender Equality and Family shall annually examine and publicly announce the national gender equality index, which is developed to indicate the degree of national gender equality by utilizing the national gender equality indicators referred to in paragraph.
Therefore, in National Gender Equality Index, existing indictors are changed and added new gender indictors, for example, sex ratio of 4th grade and over civil servant, sex ratio of Committee member for Government, sex ratio of Perceived Stress.
According to measurement results of 2015 National Gender Equality index, it appears necessary to focus on a continuous and structural policy effort to reduce gender discrepancies in the areas of decision-making. And in terms of safety, the number of female victims of serious crimes is rapidly increasing despite the efforts to prevent cases of aggravated felony such as murder, armed robbery, and sexual assault. In order to enhance gender equality in the safety sector, it seems necessary to promote policies to structurally reduce the number of victims of serious crime.
