조선시대 여성에 대한 職役 부과와 그 의미

Abstract

It is general that Chosun women was the existence excluded from a public area in principle. That is, the public area of Chosun society was the field of men. Hence, it is recognized that the position and role of women can hardly be searched in the public area. Such the recognition comes from the fact that the role of women was very limited in the political and social area which is considered as the representative public area. However, some women was recognized as the public object and played the role in the public area like men in Chosun Dynasty. They had the position or role, and allocated by the government. According to each position and role, they executed the certain public duties. There was the part which needed the women’s role for the national operation. Accordingly, the government intended to grant the public duties to women, and it was realized by 'Jikyok'(occupational classification) granting to women. In a census register which is the final result of identifying the public census survey of Chosun government, the name of occupation is recorded on 40~60% of female population. In addition to men, women could be recognized as the public object which was involved in the public governance structure of the occupational system for the national control. The study on the public regulations about women will seem to present one of criteria to range the position of Chosun women not identifying the women only within the range of family system which is the private area.
