1 in 5 Breadwinners Female
Korean women became the breadwinners for their families in one out of five households as their participation in economic activities grew in line with higher educational backgrounds. In a report titled, "A Look Into Korean Women's Lives," the National Statistical Office (NSO) said yesterday that female household heads accounted for 19.5 percent of the total this year, up from 18.5 percent in 2000 and 16.6 percent in 1995.

Wonder how they got their data.....
Every Korean woman married to a foreigner is listed as head of household on the hoju. She actually gets taken off her father's, a new one is made for her.
I would like to see their stats along side stats of Korean women getting hitched with foreign men. |
