Despite the high academic level of Korean women, the rate of female employment remains low among OECD countries. One of the main reasons for this low female employment rate is career interruption due to childcare. Thus, various measures are proposed to reduce the career interruption of female employees, and this study focused on the employer-supported childcare among these measures. We collect opinions from employers and employees through surveys about the employer-supported child care. In addition, the opinions on how to promote the employer-supported childcare program are investigated through expert interviews. From the survey results, we find that both employers and employees agree that the employer-supported childcare program would be helpful to maintain and create women employment. Also, we report the suggestions of expert interview that tax-benefit and joint program are the solutions for small-size and private companies to install the employer-supported childcare program. This study is expected to contribute to the labor market and academia by suggesting the importance of the employer-supported childcare program for activating the women employment.
