How women live in South Korea
South Korea is ranked 108th in the Global Gender Gap Index. The ban on abortion here was declared illegal only in 2021.
Wages for women are on average 35% lower than for men. And out of 500 companies, only 3% of Korean women hold leadership positions. If a woman receives a high position in a prestigious company, this is a whole event for the country.

Usually, girls get married at the age of 27-30. But if after 30 she is not married, then this is almost a social tragedy.
If the family has both a son and a daughter and everything is tight with finances, then the son will go to get a good education, and the daughter will go to work and look for a husband.
