최근 10년간 여성정책 평가와 향후 정책과제

The Evaluation on Recent Women's Policy and New Government's Strategic Tasks

1. 연구목적 및 내용 가. 연구의 필요성과 목적 □ 지난 10년간 여성과 관련된 사회 경제 정치 환경의 변화로 인해서 여성정책과 이슈들이 상당한 변화를 보였음. 특히 참여정부와 MB정부에서는 여성정책을 추진하는 행정조직과 각 정부부처의 여성관련 정책이 상당한 변화를 보였음. - 먼저 참여정부의 여성정책을 보면 초기 국정과제로 적시한 것 중 상당부분이 법 제도 면으로 실현됨. 즉, 최대 현안이었던 호주제 철폐와 성매매방지법을 제정함. 그리고 여성부를 여성가족부로 확대하여 보육정책, 가족정책, 여성정책의 유기적 결합을 시도함. 이러한 정책 외연의 확대는 저출산 고령화 사회 전망과 더불어 새롭게 나타나는 여성정책에 대한 수요를 충족시키기 위한 것임. - 또한 사회서비스의 확충으로 인해서 여성의 돌봄 노동을 국가 및 사회가 분담하는 계기가 되었음. 이 외에도 저출산 고령화관련 계획인 새로마지플랜, 건강가정기본계획, 노인장기요양보험제도 등의 계획과 제도를 도입함. 그러나 이와 같은 정책추진에도 불구하고 상당수의 여성문제는 여전히 해결되지 못함. - 현 정부에서는 여성부문 국정과제로 활기찬 시장경제에서 여성을 위한 맞춤형 일자리 만들기, 성숙한 세계 국가에서는 다문화 가족 수용, 능동적 복지에서는 수요자중심의 보육정책 개편, 양성평등수준 향상, 여성폭력 취약계층에 대한 보호대책을 마련하여 추진해 왔음. - 지난 2008년부터 여성관련 부처에서 국정과제로 추진되어온 여성정책에 대해서 수립계획을 중심으로 성과평가를 하였으나, 이에 대한 종합적인 평가는 아직 이루어지지 않았음.

Due to the changes of economic, social and cultural environment since 2003, women's issue and policy has changed rapidly. In addition, administrative organization to deal with policies for women and the women's policies in each ministry have been changed frequently in participatory government and current government(The Lee Myung-bak government). In Korea, percent distribution of population aging (65 years and over) has steadily increased due to low fertility and population aging. Thus, Korean government has actively been involved in reducing the low birth rate and population aging since mid of 2000's. However, as the forecast of population, the trend of labour shortage and aging of worker will be evitable. In that situation, the policy to empower them and work and balance system will allow Korean society to prosper over the long run. In recent the proportion of single-generation households including one-person household to total households has increased steadily. As the research on family, family structure is linked to various social problems, for example poverty. Divorce and separation are linked to movements into poverty, especially for women. Single-parent families with a working adult generally have higher poverty rates than two-parent households in which only one parent is in employment. And young people living with their parents face a substantially lower poverty risk and children in single-parent families face an elevated risk of poverty. Despite of significant improvement over the decades, the gender inequality remains prevalent in Korean society. For example there are low representation of women in decision making position, the large disparity between the average salaries of its male and female workers, prejudice against women. Even though Korean government has coped to domestic and sexual violence against, it remains still a serious social problems. In this research, we evaluate women's policy and issues, projects social economic, social environment, and demographic structure during 2013∼2017. On the basis of that analysis, we suggest the following 12 strategic tasks that new government should carry out. ㆍSupport for employment of young unemployed women ㆍImprovement of work conditions for non-standard women workers ㆍSupport for a better work and life balance ㆍExpansion of the publicity of child care services ㆍExpansion of family support infrastructure for elder care services ㆍPromotion of gender equality in family and family diversity as the norm ㆍImplementation of integrated policy to eliminate violence against women ㆍEnlargement of women's rights to health ㆍEnhancement of women's representativeness in public and private sectors. ㆍGender main-streaming in Grant or Concessional Loan ODA ㆍExpansion of women's participation in Unification Policy ㆍReinforcement of administrative organization related to women's policy
