To solve the vertical and unequal gender relationship problems associated with Confucian tradition, the Korean central government has recently showed a strong willingness to put a balanced perspective in every gender-related policy with the launch of the Ministry of Gender Equality in 2001. To secure this balanced perspective in every policy area, the Office of Women's Policy was also established in five ministries in the central government in 1998. The goal of this office is to provide strategic policy advices to each ministry on issues of concern to women as well as to facilitate cooperation among related agencies for effective, efficient implementations of women-related policies.

However, we were unable to use gender variable as a control variable as the number of female respondents who had direct experiencewas too small to run regression analyses by gender. This case also applies to Hypothesis 2 that will be discussed later.
