South Korea’s female labor-force participation rate is even lower than in Japan, where there are waiting lists for childcare. Moreover, South Korea has underinvested in day-care centers, with firms rarely offering childcare support.
韩国的女性劳动力参与率甚至比育儿需求强劲的日本还低。此外，韩国在托儿所方面的投资不足，企业很少提供日托服务。韩国女性通常不会从事待遇优渥的岗位，因此育儿服务对她们来说往往成本太高。
