One of the most serious problems of our society is the very low rate of high educated or high skilled women's social participation rate, and limited opportunity in higher value-added businesses for women. Efforts to make human resources of high educated women are so urgent for entering top 10 countries with competitive human power that Korean government enacted laws promoting development and use of them. These steps can be proper only when based on understanding of their real situation and their needs.
With study on relative documents and survey on high educated women, we made some suggestions for a lifelong learning support system promoting development and use of high educated woman resources. First, the system should be based on woman's needs driven from their places in their life cycles. Second, the system sould be various on the learning style and characteristics of women. Third, collaborative relations between lifelong learning system and the local community need to be built. Forth, woman lerners should be encouraged by emotional supports from other family members and shared household chores.
To develop and use high educated woman resources, more educational facilities in the community should be used for women to learn at any time and in any place. Second, more active supports should be offered through close cooperation among lifelong educational institutes. Woman learners can manage their course of career development with the database on their learning. Third, by database on high educated women, they should be given more opportunities to get appropriated places for their abilities. Forth, higher value-added business for high educated women should be developed. Finally, more opportunities of grant-type lifelong education should be offered to them.
