Fewer than one in four director-level positions were held by women at state-run organizations as of March, a study showed Friday.
According to a survey conducted by the First CEO Networks of Korea, which analyzed reports uploaded on “All Public Information in One” (commonly known as “ALIO”), a finance ministry-operated website providing management information on Korea’s 350 state-run and quasi-governmental entities, of 132 state-run entities, only 22 percent of the high-ranking positions were held by women. This figure is a slight quarter-on-quarter increase of 0.1 percent from 21.9 percent in December of last year.
The ratio of men-to-women for low- and entry-level employees was close to 1 to 1, but the figure rapidly rose as they neared promotion opportunities following decades of experience.
Out of the 132 state-run organizations, four had not even one high-level female official, including LetsRun Corp., Kangwon Land, Korea National Park and the Korea Press Foundation.
In the case of the Korea Press Foundation, 12 of the 20 job openings for entry-level regular full-time positions were filled by women last year. However, only 20 percent of the second- and third-highest positions are held by women, and all five top-level positions are currently held by men.
