Abstract

This study examines the gender-based wage gap in South Korea, which remains among the highest within developed countries. According to OECD data, women in South Korea earn approximately 69% of men’s wages for comparable work, particularly in managerial roles. This issue has become a significant concern in the context of international relations and the global gender equality agenda. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data through literature review and analysis of official documents from the International Labour Organization (ILO) alongside South Korean labor market data from 2022 to 2024. The analysis is framed by Marxist theory, gender equality concepts, and the role of international organizations, focusing on the nation-state level. Findings indicate that the ILO’s Gender and Employment program has positively influenced South Korean society by raising awareness of gender equality, strengthening inclusive labor policies, reducing the wage gap, and enhancing women’s access to strategic positions. Nevertheless, challenges such as entrenched patriarchal cultural norms and limitations in program implementation at the corporate level continue to impede progress. These results highlight the crucial role of international organizations and emphasize the need for coordinated efforts between national policies and global initiatives to achieve sustainable gender equality in South Korea.
