A concomitant feature of South Korea’s labor market is that women’s labor-force participation rate – a paltry 33% for women aged 30-39 – is among the lowest in the OECD. This partly reflects the difficulty of balancing child rearing with work in South Korea, compared to, say, Europe or the US.
韩国劳动力市场的一个伴随特征是女性劳动力参与率是经合组织国家中最低的之一，30—39年龄段女性只有33%参加工作。这部分是因为与欧洲和美国相比，韩国人在育儿和工作之间更加难以取得平衡。
