Korean women's movement under the Japanese rule is characterize by being one aspect of an Independence Movement -Patriotic Movement due to the unique situation of Korean society. Consequently, contrary to Women's movement in Europe and theU. S. A. which started from an opposing relation wi th men, Korean women's movement began with a cooperative relation with men.
Economic development has tended to emphasize all the modern sector. Women's work typically consists of economic activitymore of-ten in the belittled agric-ulture or informal sectors, household support activity-income producing, income-substituting and homemaking activity.
As men are seen as workers in all the modern sector, so they are also seen as the technologist, the public figures. So women are seen as the keeper of the home and the traditional morality, the private values. Yet in Korea modern values do not distinguish between sexes. Thus education is similar for woman and for men. But social roles and status for men and women are very different in expect-ation and in possibility.
About half of the human resources available for development are women. But, the majority of women have been excluded from development in most counturies.
We have to face this fact that available human resources are wasted or neglected.
We have to correct this situation. In such on endeavor, not only women, but men, families, communities, nations, and the world will be benefited. In order to utilize this half of the human resources in the world for development, the status of women should be advanced.
