| Research Abstract |
This study examines the role of national machinery in gender mainstreaming policies in South Korea. The UN women's conference in 1995 proposed that national government set up a national level policy agency to oversee and support gender mainstreaming of all national policies. Following this proposal, South Korea established the Ministry of Gender Equality in 2001, then expanded to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in 2004. Yet the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is not equipped with necessary authority, professional staff or enough resources to implement the task. It is also vulnerable to the change of government and political environment.
