다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is to sutdy the policy for promoting of women's political status, focusing on Korean women's participation in the policy-making process to see their present political status.
This covers women's political status in three respects:
First, women's indirect participation in the policy-making process with their sufferage : their voting rate shows high. They don't vote for winning of they-backed candidate but their national obligation. More positive, it is noted that their own judgement overwhelmingly influences their voting decision.
Second, women's direct participation in the policy-making process with the eligibility for election : It's never been the case that women has got the presidency. Only minority of women has been the member of the National Assembly so far since the 1948 Constitutional Assembly. In 1990s, women have joined political parties as many men but the minimum number has got the senior post of the party.
Third, women's direct participation in the policy-making process with the charge of public duties : Women still secure inferior positions to men in the administrative branches although the ratio of women in them has appeared to get higher. And also they have slight power in the law circle.
As a conclusion, only minority of women participates in the policy-making process with the sufferage, eligibility for election or the charge of bublic duties. This is attributed to the distinction of sex and the role by it, which has deteriorated by the unfavorable law system. Therefore, the change of their consciousness through the process of political socialization or resocialization and the election law revision to establish the systems for public power sharing, apportionment of the floor, appointments, the medium and the major constituencies, public management of election and the opening of election funds are needed to increase women's participation in the policy-making process and promote their political status.
