여성용 안전모 지급, 직장 찾아가는 아버지 교육…성별영향평가 이행률 60.4%

The Ministry of Education ruled that newly appointed teachers cannot leave their jobs or switch to another one for eight years, starting from the day they were hired. However, last year's gender impact assessment flagged this practice and added exceptions allowing for early departure due to maternity protection, child-rearing, or other reasons related to gender equality.

In Namwon County, women's safety equipment are calculated for female sizes, reflecting the gender impact assessment improvements. This also represented the improvement of the gender impact assessment. The Gender Equality Family Office reported the "2025 Gender Impact Assessment Comprehensive Analysis Results" to the National Assembly on the 25th.

The Gender Equality Office conducted gender impact assessments on 2,721 laws and business projects enacted or amended last year, establishing 7,291 policy improvement measures, of which 4,401 were implemented, a 3.0% increase from the previous year (57.4%). Gender impact assessment is a system that evaluates and improves the impact of laws, major policies, etc., on gender based on gender characteristics during the establishment and implementation of laws and major policies by central and local governments.

The main improvements include, for example, the Ministry of Justice allowing up to 90 days of full salary payment for exempted trial lawyers during the period they cannot work due to childbirth, miscarriage, or other reasons after being designated as a trial lawyer. The Gyeongsangnam-do Office revised the employment incentive for companies employing retraining workers, applying it regardless of industry regardless of whether the majority of employees are male.

The Gyeongsangnam-do Education Office diversified its parental education approach to encourage more male participation, such as "Parenting Education for Grown-ups" and "Fatherhood Education." The Gender Equality Office plans to submit the "2025 Gender Impact Assessment Comprehensive Analysis Results" to the National Assembly and release it on the Bureau's website until then.

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's Director-General vowed to enhance the effectiveness of gender impact assessments so that citizens can experience the changes in their daily lives.
