The purpose of this study is to understand the gender-neutral phenomenon, to grasp the flow of design, and to seek the future direction of modern fashion design. As for the scope and method of the study, this study was performed based on relevant literature. In terms of visual data, website photos were collected from the collection of S/S in 2016 to F/W in 2020. To assess the properties of the gender-neutral, analysis was implemented on the results after arranging the factors for gender neutrality and the characteristics suggested in the related papers. The fashion-related expert group analyzed the properties of the gender-neutral style from 1,031 pictures, where the gender-neutral style of fashion design collections was applied. As a result of the analysis, the characteristics of the gender-neutral were analyzed and divided into the extended body-positive performance style, the mashup style- respecting the conflicting culture, the street style of coexisting genders, and the fluid style of changing directions. In this study, the attributes were derived as acceptability, playfulness, and sustainability. Accordingly, it is expected that this study will play a fundamental role in the creative fashion design development and unfolding of the fashion industry and fashion designers.

The purpose of the study was to examine model postures at fashion shows with respect to expressing fashion images including elegance and neutral-gender images. Data were gathered from the fashion shows held 2000 S/S through 2009 F/W, when elegance and neutral-gender fashion images were obvious in fashion collections. Three designer brands representing elegance and neutral-gender fashion images were selected by the researcher and fashion specialists including graduate students majoring in fashion. The fashion collection photos representing each image were selected from style.com, a website which contains four world's biggest fashion collections. The results showed different hand positions as a model posture according to fashion images. In the neutral-gender image, 16 photos (47%) showed a hand position at pockets, in the elegance image, 24 photos (82.3%) showed a hand position laying down by the sides. Also, walking pose was shown to be different between two fashion images. In the neutral-gender fashion image, 16 photos (52.9%) revealed a pose of 'natural walk', while 29 photos (100%) showed a pose of 'walk in a straight line' in the elegance imaged fashion. In conclusion, the neutral-gender image photos showed the pocket-positioned hand and the 'natural walk' poses more than elegance image photos, and elegance image photos revealed the hand position laying down by the sides and the 'walk in a straight line' poses than the photos of the neutral-gender image.

양성 평등을 보는 관점은 다양하다. 따라서 어떤 사회복지정책이 양성 평등에 기여하느냐 하지 않느냐를 판단할 때에는 그 사회복지정책을 통해 어떤 양성 평등을 추구할 수 있느냐에 대한 분석을 전제로 하게 된다. 그럼에도 불구하고 대체로 사회복지정책이 성차별 문제를 어떻게 야기하고 있는가에 대한 논의가 주류를 이루고 있을 뿐, 그 사회복지정책이 어떤 관점에서 봤을 때 어떤 성차별 문제와 관계를 갖는지에 대한 논의는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 사회복지정책의 한 분야로서 국민연금제도를 젠더 중립적 관점(the gender neutral approach), 젠더 인정 관점(the gender recognition approach), 젠더 재구성 관점(the gender reconstruction approach), 젠더 강화 관점(the gender reinforcement approach)을 통해 분석해 보았다. 그 결과 국민연금제도는 현재 젠더 중립적 관점에 토대를 두고 변화하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 국민연금제도가 갖는 이러한 경향성을 고려한 정책 비판을 후속 연구 과제로 남기게 되었다. 더 나아가 최근 국민연금제도를 통해 여성 수급권의 규모와 질을 확대하기 위해 제시되고 있는 연금 크레딧, 재혼 시 분할 수급권 및 유족연금 자격 유지, 기초 연금제가 실현될 경우 국민연금제도는 젠더 인정 관점을 가진 사회복지정책의 한 분야로서 성격 변화를 해 나갈 것으로 전망해 보았다.

This study examines the color characteristics of the usage of the color pink in menswear by analyzing its usage status and method. It involves an empirical research method establishing the frame of the study through a document study centered on trend, gender neutral considerations, and the utilization of the color pink in men's fashion, by analyzing the characteristics of color and tone by extracting the pink color shown in menswear collections as well as analyzing and categorizing the fashion image and genderless characteristics. Analyzing the color and tone of the pink color shown indicate that bright, light and pale tones had higher proportions. Pink color can also be said to be utilized as a design element that gives off a younger and more vital color image in menswear. Further, the use of brighter and softer pink colors can be interpreted as reflecting modern society's demands of masculinity to change into a more sophisticated and soft image. To analyze the characteristics of the color pink utilized in gender neutral fashion, fashion images were presented as the analysis standard. An image grouping technique was used to classify pink while utilizing genderless types-fashion style. The result showed that even with the same pink color, the fashion image can vary with different methods of expression in terms of clothes and styling. The results of this study can serve as basic data for planning fashion design concepts as it analyzed pink-using fashion images and the genderless concept type.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the resting postures of the fingers and wrist based on the biomechanical model in term of hand posture (neutral, pronation, and supination) and gender (male and female). The finger and wrist joint angles were measured with VICON motion system. The EMG system was used to examine the muscle activity in the resting condition. The participants consisted of twenty male and twenty female students. The angles of the fingers and wrist were analyzed by means of the coordinate system associated with the International Society of Biomechanics. Hand posture was significant for all the joints. The finger and wrist joint flexed in supination more than in neutral and pronation. The hand posture and gender were not significant for the results of muscle activity, but it had larger muscle activities in supination more than in neutral and pronation.

성 중립 징병제는 인구절벽 시대에서 군이 요구하는 인력 수준을 유지하고 양성평등의 개념을 확대할 수 있는 제도이다. 유럽 최초로 성 중립 징병제를 시행한 노르웨이의 사례를 통해 선택적 징병제 검토 필요성, 양성평등을 위한 군내 조직문화 개선 필요성 등 한국군에 주는 시사점을 도출해보았다. 여성의 사회참여 확대와 인권향상으로 전통적 남성의 영역이었던 군도 여성에게 개방되는 속도가 빨라지고 있다. 다만, 우리나라에 징병제를 여성까지 확대하기 위해서는 필요한 제반 시설, 복무기간, 급여수준, 전투력 유지 등에 대한 각종 우려를 극복해야 할 것이다. 국가가 처한 안보환경과 여성의 사회참여 정도, 국가내 소수자들의 처우 등이 모두 다르기에 우리도 성 중립 징병제를 시행하는 것이 옳다는 결론을 내리기는 어렵다. 그렇지만 미래를 대비하는 국가전략은 결론이 쉽게 나오지 않고 결론이 불편한 진실이라고 해서 멈출 수 없기에 이 논문을 시작으로 여성을 징병제에 포함하는 방안에 대한 건전한 담론이 형성되길 기대한다.

In response to recent changes in gender equality and social awareness among female college students, we sought to investigate whether there were corresponding changes in their preferred fashion styles and items. A survey was conducted with 200 women in their twenties to determine whether they were aware of gender equality and social change, as well as their preferred fashion styles and items at both the time of college admission and the current time. Awareness of gender equality was divided into two factors: feminism and a perceived increase in women's social power. A significant difference was observed in the fashion styles of female college students in their twenties between the time of admission and the current time. Compared with the past, the preferred style has changed to gender-neutral rather than feminine, useful rather than aesthetics, character rather than fashion, sporty rather than elegance, and casual rather than formal. Preferred items included pants rather than skirts, sneakers rather than shoes, socks rather than stockings, long skirts rather than short skirts, and backpacks rather than handbags. The level of attention paid to campus attire per week decreased over time. No correlation was found between gender equality awareness and preferred fashion style, while feminism was correlated with preferred fashion items. The degree to which attention was paid to campus attire per week was correlated with feminism, but was not correlated with a perceived increase in womens' social power.

We aim to investigate the effects of task type and user gender on the expected gender of chatbots. We conducted an online study of 381 participants who selected the gender (female, male, or neutral) for chabots performing six different tasks. Our results indicate that users expect human- gendered chatbots for all tasks and that the expected gender of a chatbot is significantly different depending on the task type. Users expected chatting, counseling, healthcare and clerical work to be done by female chatbots; professional and customer service work were expected to be done by male chatbots. A tendency for participants to prefer chatbots of the same-gendered as themselves is revealed in several tasks for both male and female users. However, this homophily tendency is stronger for female users. We conclude by suggesting practical guidelines for designing chatbot services that reflect user expectations.
