More than a half of women said that marriage and childbirth are not an essential part of their lives, a survey showed, suggesting a growing trend of women defying the expectations of traditional gender roles in Korean society. | asianewsnetwork
Respondents who spoke highly of their quality of life and society tended to think marriage and childbirth are “important,” the study said in its analysis of the survey. This implies that respondents with higher social trust and who believe that the community they live in is capable of providing more opportunities and equality tended view marriage and childbirth as attractive options, according to the association.
According to a survey conducted by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs on a total of 7,865 households between March and July 2022, about 21 percent of respondents said that children should live with their parents and provide care, down from 52.6 percent 15 years ago.
