A study on the effects of structural changes on married women's employment in South Korea, looking specifically at the impact of education and family structure.
It finds that educational interventions significantly increase the employment probability of married women, and it finds overall female labour force participation showing a negative correlation with income inequality.
However, education alone is only a necessary not a sufficient condition for increased employment, with a married woman's family size and family structure having an impact as well.
Finally, education also has an intergenerational impact, with the female education also positively relating to daughters' education levels.
