Women fight back as South Korea tries to abolish its Gender Equality Ministry –

 

South Korea’s rapid transformation into one of the richest countries in the world, has left women trailing behind. They are paid on average a third less than men, giving South Korea the worst gender pay gap of any rich country in the world. Upon entering office, South Korea's new President Yoon Suk-yeol scrapped government gender quotas, declaring people would be hired on merit, not sex.
