In 2022, the sex ratio in South Korea was approximately 99.9 men to 100 women. By 2050, it is projected to fall to 99.1 and then increase to 101.1 by 2072. Regarding gender equality, South Korea has struggled to achieve economic and political equality. Fortunately, parity in the country's education and healthcare systems has improved over the years.
In a survey among South Koreans, it was found that approximately 70 percent of women expressed their strong belief in the importance of achieving gender equality. However, the results showed that just over half of the men held a similar viewpoint. This discrepancy suggests that there is an apparent disparity in the perspectives on gender equality between the genders in South Korea.
