According to OECD data, only 55% of South Korean women aged 15-64 are in the labor force, compared to an average of 65% in the advanced economies. South Korea’s male labor-force participation rate, by contrast, stands at about 77% – close to the OECD average of 79%.
但在人力资本回报方面仍存在重大性别差距。根据经合组织的数据，55%十五至六十四岁年龄段的韩国女性参加工作，而发达国家平均水平为65%。相反，韩国男性劳动力参与率为77%左右，接近经合组织平均水平79%。
