South Korea Restructures Ministry of Gender Equality
South Korea's Ministry of Gender Equality will be reorganized as the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family as it moves into a wider role covering national issues such as the low birth rate and increasing number of divorces in Korea.
According to Chosun Ilbo, the ministry's restructuring will mean the task of investigating and managing cases of gender discrimination will go to the National Human Rights Commission.
The government said that the ministry's redefined workload would give it a better grasp of family-related concerns like the low birth rate and an aging society.
Family-protection policies dealing with divorce, marriage and the prevention of domestic conflict would also be carried out on a broader scale. I see this move to address family issues interesting, but no surprise since Korean divorce rates have soared in recent years.
