여성정책 패러다임의 변화와 수용성 제고 방안

Paradigms of Women Policies and Measures for Improving their Powers of Persuasion

1. 연구(사업)목적 여성정책 패러다임의 내용과 역사를 정리하고 한국에서 시행된 주요 여성정책사례를 패러다임의 이론적 틀로 분석하여 한국 여성정책의 성과와 한계를 논하고자 한다. 또한 이를 통해 여성정책이 국민들에게 어떻게 받아들여졌는지, 그리고 앞으로 여성정책의 수용성을 높이기 위한 전략을 무엇인지 모색한다. 패러다임 접근을 통해 앞으로 여성정책의 시행을 위한 시사점을 얻고자 한다. 2. 연구(사업)내용 가. 여성정책의 발전과 패러다임 여성정책의 발전을 역사적으로 개괄하고 각 단계에서 여성정책을 끌고 간 사회사상과 이에 맞물리는 여성주의적 사고의 발전을 논의한다. 이 논의를 여성정책의 주요한 패러다임으로 고려되는 위드(WID), 개드(GAD), 그리고 성주류화와의 관계에서 통합하고 여성정책 패러다임의 목표, 방법, 전략을 논한다.

In this study, we aim at delineating the paradigms of women policies over the time and at analyzing individual cases of Korean women policies with the theoretical tool of the paradigms and at assessing their contributions and limits. We also attempt to investigate how the people have received these policies and to figure out measures to improve the policies' reception. This study is constituted of a historical account of women policies, a discussion of relationship between paradigms and philosophies of gender equality, a discussion of Korean women policies' reception, and suggestions for measures to improve it. First, the historical account includes a discussion of social thoughts that led women's policies at each stage and interlocking development of feminist thoughts. Second, the relationship between paradigm and gender equality is discussed with gender equality as both sharing certain characteristics with the discourse of equality between other groups and being marked as a special case of equality. Third, each major women policy is discussed in its relationship to paradigm, which would yield the distinctive characteristics of Korean women policies' paradigms and their relationship to policies' reception. The paradigms of Korean women policies have two major goals of giving women equal opportunity to participate and recognizing women and their human rights. To accomplish these goals, there are strategies and methods of redistribution, positive actions, recognition and transformation of structure. The redistribution policy started with equal pay for work of equal value stipulated in equal employment act in 1989. The first positive policy was the employment quota for female civil workers in 1996. The recognition policy includes the prevention act of sexual violence, illegalization of sexual traffic and abrogation of family head system. The transformation of structure includes socialization of care works such as long-term care insurance system and provision of child support allowance and family and work balance policies. This study proposes three measures for improving approval of women policies: first, we need to choose areas of concentration; second, cross-redressing of paradigms is necessary; and promotion of transformation of structure such as family and work balance is required.
