In the past, women were excluded from participation in the process of
industrialization. However, social changes in recent years have dramatically
changed gender roles, affecting women's status in the family and society. Through
a survey of the changing status of women in 21st century Korean society, this
paper addresses the current situation of Korean women's education.
To solve problems such as the social welfare of elderly women, the employment
of female college graduates, and protection of mother's rights, it is imperative to
provide educational training which can promote the status of women in Korean
society. Namely, gender equality should be strengthened in school curriculum,
educational support should be expanded for the development of women's
professional skills, and social education for women should be promoted as well.
The 21st century woman needs to escape her traditional typecast, and actively
participate in directing today's rapidly changing society. To that end, we need an
educational system that can make women active as mothers, active in the
workplace, and leaders in society. We need to construct an institutionalized
foundation for the lifetime education of women in society.
