Korean workplace gender discrimination research analysis: a review of the literature from 1990 to 2010
The publishing of research on gender discrimination issues in the Korean workplace in English began in 1990 and has been steadily growing in scope, quantity and popularity. This research reviews 52 papers on Korean workplace gender discrimination issues that were published in the literature from 1990 to 2010. The goal of this study is to provide scholars, HR practitioners and policy-makers in Korea with a reference compilation of specific key characteristics for the previous studies in this field of knowledge, allowing them faster and more complete access to the past literature. Notable findings include persisting, though decreasing, levels of workplace discrimination and an increasing interest in the field of knowledge by both female and male scholars, especially over the past decade. More recently, studies have acknowledged the legal progress made by the Korean government in reducing gender issues, but have also identified many limitations in the scope and implementation of the various laws.
