문화와 성별관계 간의 상관관계에 대한 연구 - 자본주의 유형을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between culture and gender-relations focused on forms of capitalism. In countries appertaining to the Rhine and Anglo-Saxon models of capitalism, the female employment rate is high and gender equality indicators are elevated. On the contrary, Korea, a country pertaining to the East Asian capitalism model, has low female employment rate - below average among all OECD countries. According to previous studies, when the rate of female employment rate is high, the employment rate and level of national income per capita are high as well. It is necessary to approach the realization that female labor forces are highly qualified and capable national resources. Culture establishes the strong link between economic institutions and gender-relations, and affects the productivity of capitalism. In the era of fusion and convergence, improving economic outcomes and institutions, can push for studies on culture and gender diversity to be covered more expansively. It is getting more important to analyze how the interaction between culture and economic outcomes affects gender-relations. It is necessary to set up the model of specification and the data of culture and gender-relations in order to reinforce the theoretical background for this study. To delve deeper, one must focus on the mechanism and direct relation between gender-relations and types of capitalism to study how culture can affect economic institutions and vice versa. Furthermore, implications shall be drawn from comparisons between domestic and foreign experiences through specific case studies.
