Abstract

The women policy began with wamen’s welfare and now is changed policy of gender equality. That means earlier policy goal was just for women but now policy goal expansion is realization of equality in society. Characteristic of women policy is though recipients are women clearly, policy areas are comprehensive to every part of society. The reform of women policy’s current trend is evaluation of outcome and limitation with need for a paradigm shift. At the first official was started Presidential Commission on Women's Affairs on 1998 and that name change to Ministry of Gender Equality and Ministry of Gender Equality and Family by change of government. Official task had been expanding women policy, family policy, day nursery policy and youth policy. Changing perspective of women policy is from Women In Development (WID) approach to Gender And Development(GAD) approach and that is also to Gender main-streaming approach. With that, we find a view point of policy at the period of changing policy in Korea. There are two time periods those are devide by a local government establish. Especially, Gender main-streaming approach was presented by at the Fourth World Conference on Women on 1995, and women policy is developing on 3-steps. However, criticism of current women policy is developments of policies now appears to have reached a plateau. In other words, women policies developments are expansion to denotation not actual expansion of policy areas. On this study, we find sustainable women policy for efficient implementation through policy changing at the locally and how policy changing make by official changing.
