The main reason for the increase in the number of women MPs was the introduction of a quota system, according to which South Korea’s political parties should ensure that 30% of their candidates are women. The campaign-finance law was revised to provide additional government funding to parties that meet the quota, and to reduce the amount for parties that do not.
女性议员数量增加的主要原因是引入了配额制，根据该制度，韩国政党必须确保30%的候选人是女性。竞选融资法也做了修订，为满足配额制规定的政党提供附加的政府资金支持，而不满足配额制规定的政党将被削减资金支持。
