Get out there and earn some money ladies.
Also, 6.98 million women vs 232,000 men are stay at home parenting. yikes. Get out there and earn some money ladies. But also, whats up with women just quiting work forever once they have a kid? If you kid is going to school all day, I think you can get out there and get a job. So many women (in my field of teaching especially) get married at 28-29, have a kid at 29-30, then never work again.
Fathers of the board, were you able to take advantage of parental leave?
Only really possible if you work for the Government or a big company.
Anyone become a father while working for a public school? Is there parental leave in our contracts?
I thought it was illegal for foreigners to marry Koreans ifthey work for EPIK in Seoul?
I'm sorry, WHAT?
This was actually a thing. In 2023. Hard to believe, but true.https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2023/02/281_344655.htmlSome politicians are seriously Jurassic.
Coming from the UK, Korean childcare provision seems excellent. From 6 months old up to the 3rd grade you can chuck your kid in the 어린이집/돌봄 for the whole day, five days a week, for free.In the UK 3-4 year olds get 15 (in some cases 30) hours a week free, that's it. After 2nd grade in Korea, you'd need to have a decent hagwon 'relay' system set up if you wanted to keep working (which costs money), but we don't have anything like that in the UK. If both parents want to keep working in Korea it's perfectly feasible logistics wise, it seems more societal pressure/herd mentality and workplace inequality that keep women at home.
Why "raise" a kid if both parents are never there?
