Results: Heath behaviors had a very slight impact of the association between socioeconomic status and health status among male and female employees. And patterns of health inequality had the gender difference.

  • An attempt to investigate the effect of gender differences on Korean students' EFL learning orientation was made. To explain a Korean EFL learning context, three criteria (cultural distance between the target country and the host country, communicative needs of the TL, the status of the TL in the host country) are adopted. Moreover, as a contrastive FL learning context from the Imposed FL learning context, a FL learning context where there is a substantial cultural distance from the TL community, communication needs of the TL do not exist, and the TL enjoys a special educational and socioeconomic status in the host country, a concept of an Integrative FL learning context is newly brought up in this paper. As the result of a questionnaire conducted in four different high schools, female learners can be claimed to be more internalized about academic and socioeconomic benefits the TL entails for their social advancement and overcoming inequality between men and women in society, albeit insignificant numerical data.

  • Nguyễn Huy Thiệp is a pillar in Vietnamese cultural life after the Second Indochina War, and the fates of men and women at the beginning of Đổi mới (Renovation) is one of the prominent themes in his short stories. To show off sexual power, seek glory, and maintain his dominant position, Thiệp's heroes engage in a game of oppressing the weak, hunting animals, and harassing women. However, due to the complex changes in social life, moral values, and gender inequality, men in the postwar period quickly experienced the feeling of humiliation, impotence, and failure. In turn, the sophisticated aspects of masculinity demonstrate the cultural and ethical concerns of contemporary Vietnamese society. By exploring the multidimensional nature of masculinity expressed in Thiệp's stories, this study aims to resolve misconceptions about gender and the relationship between men and women in his work.

  • 본 논문은 다양한 국제지수로 우리나라의 성평등 현주소를 살펴본다. 성평등지수의 장점은 이 지표들을 활용하여 성평등을 위한 전략적이고 구체적인 정책방향을 제시할 수 있고, 국제비교가 가능한 장점을 가진다. 대표적으로 UNDP에서 개발한 GDI, GEM, GII와 WEF에서 개발한 GGI가 있다. 네 가지 지수들의 성격이 다르기 때문에 성평등지수에 대한 이해도를 높이기 위해 각 지수의 내용과 측정지표들을 소개하고, 각 지수에 따른 우리나라 순위를 살펴본다. 이 지표를 기준으로 보면 우리나라는 GDI는 상위권, GII는 중상위권, GEM GGI는 최하위권에 속하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 국제지수 순위를 통해 우리나라의 경우 포괄적이고 실제적인 성평등을 이루기 위해서 정치참여와 경제영역에서 성평등이 시급하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 본 연구는 한국의 직종 내 성별 잔차임금격차와 고소득 여성비중 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 직종 내 고소득 여성비중이 커질수록 이는 그 직종에서의 여성에 대한 편견 또는 통계적 차별을 줄여 성별 잔차임금격차를 감소시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 "고용형태별 근로실태조사" 임금구조부문 원시자료(2009-2016년)를 직종-연도별 패널데이터로 구축하여 다양한 패널 분석을 통해 이를 실증분석하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 남성집중직종에서 직종 내 고소득 여성비중은 직종 내 성별 잔차임금격차에 유의미한 음(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Purpose - The pandemic has magnified and deepened existing socioeconomic disparities, including healthcare, education, income, gender, and housing. This study aims to examine the intersectionality of these disparities and their implications for promoting equity and justice. Research design, data, and methodology - This study is a comprehensive review of the literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on socioeconomic disparities. The review includes empirical studies, policy reports, and academic articles on healthcare, education, income, gender, and housing disparities. Result - The pandemic has exposed significant disparities in healthcare, education, income, gender, and housing. Healthcare disparities have been highlighted, and there is a need for more equitable access to care and addressing social determinants of health. Educational and income disparities are closely linked, perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality. Gender disparities have been exacerbated, with women experiencing disproportionate impacts on their health, well-being, and economic security. The pandemic has highlighted the need for safe, stable, and affordable housing. Conclusion - The pandemic has brought to light numerous socioeconomic disparities that require systemic change to address. Promoting equity and justice requires a comprehensive, long-term approach that addresses systemic factors and promotes social and economic equity. By taking action to address these issues, we can create a more just and equitable society that promotes the health and well-being of all its members.

  • 본 논문은 2018년 가계금융복지조사 원자료를 대상으로 기존 O-B(Oaxaca-Blinder) 요인분해를 일반화하고 정교화한 가중화 및 RIF(Recentered Influence Function) 회귀 기반의 2단계 O-B 요인분해 기법을 사용하여 순자산 불평등의 수도권과 비수도권 격차 요인들을 분석한다. 이는 소득, 연령, 교육, 가구유형 등과 같은 사회 경제적 요인들의 지역 간 분포 차이가 순자산 불평등의 지역 간 격차에 어떻게 기여했는지를 밝히는 것이다. 자료의 한계에도 불구하고, 분석 결과는 소득, 이혼, 농림어업과 기능조립직, 다문화가구 변수들의 지역 간 차이는 순자산 불평등의 수도권과 비수도권 간 격차를 심화시키지만, 상용직, 관리전문사무직, 서비스판매직, 가구규모 변수들은 그 격차를 완화시키고, 생애주기의 지역 간 차이는 상쇄적인 역할을 한다는 것을 보여준다.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate factors affecting cancer mortality inequality in Busan according to demographic characteristics identified based on the region's mortality data including cancer incidence and mortality rates, ultimately helping the region improve its existing health policies and establish a more effective cancer prevention policy. To achieve this purpose, this researcher surveyed data about all persons who died in Busan from 2006 to 2009. Data were analyzed with an SPSS 18.0 program using descriptive statistics, Chi-Square(${\chi}^2$), and Logistic Regression analysis. Findings of the study can be summarized as follows. First, in Busan, men were about two times higher in cancer mortality rate than women. Second, persons who died of cancer in Busan were significantly different from one another in terms of demographic characteristics, especially, age, marital status, and job. Third, factors affecting cancer mortality inequality in Busan included such demographic characteristics as gender, age at the time of death, marital status, educational background, and job.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to analyze long-term trends in the contribution of each cause of death to socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality among Korean adults. Methods: Data were collected from death certificates between 1990 and 2004 and from censuses in 1990, 1995, and 2000. Age-standardized death rates by gender were produced according to education as the socioeconomic position indicator, and the slope index of inequality was calculated to evaluate the contribution of each cause of death to socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality. Results: Among adults aged 25-44, accidental injuries with transport accidents, suicide, liver disease and cerebrovascular disease made relatively large contributions to socioeconomic inequalities in all-cause mortality, while, among adults aged 45-64, liver disease, cerebrovascular disease, transport accidents, liver cancer, and lung cancer did so. Ischemic heart disease, a very important contributor to socioeconomic mortality inequality in North America and Western Europe, showed a very low contribution (less than 3%) in both genders of Koreans. Conclusions: Considering the contributions of different causes of death to absolute mortality inequalities, establishing effective strategies to reduce socioeconomic inequalities in mortality is warranted.

  • This study explores gender images represented in the works of women artists from the Middle East, where male chauvinism is recognized to be more predominant than elsewhere. The artists included in this study such as Mona Hatoum, Shirin Neshat, Lida Abdul and Sigalit Landau are Post-Feminist generation of artists who were born in the Middle East but spent significant amount of time in the West. In addition, they were trained as artists under the influences of the Western Feminist Art. This particular group of female artists pays much attention to the ontological question of their identities rather than male/female inequality, and each artist represents men and women in the ways that can hardly be found in the works by women artists in the West. These artists not only connect gender identities to the socio-political geography of the Middle East but also deconstruct Western stereotypes of men and women from Arab world. The paper focuses on the way these women artists incorporate male/female vs. culture/nature dichotomies into their works to subvert the premises on which Western Feminism has been based and not only to cast light on women's freedom and their ontological conflicts but also to emphasize social suppression inflicted upon men. In such process, these artists resist stereotypical images of Middle Eastern men and women widely circulated in the mainstream media of the West.
