Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member Yoon Myung-hee Establishes Regulations to Eliminate Gender Wage Gap

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeollanam-do Provincial Council announced on the 13th that the "Partial Amendment to the Jeollanam-do Basic Ordinance on Gender Equality," which was proposed by Representative Yoon Myung-hee, passed the Health, Welfare, and Environment Committee review at the 341st Jeollanam-do Provincial Council extraordinary session on the 12th.

Although the gender wage gap is gradually decreasing, there still exists a wage gap based on gender in the field, as the labor environment has not adapted to changes such as women's childcare, childbirth, and career interruptions.

This ordinance amendment was made to establish and implement a comprehensive plan regarding gender-equal labor policies and the gender wage gap to prevent and improve the gender wage gap, thereby ensuring systematic management to eliminate wage disparities.

Representative Yoon Myung-hee stated, "Active support is necessary to improve gender discrimination in employment and the gender wage gap in the public sector, thereby encouraging participation and voluntary efforts in the private sector so that gender equality can achieve practical effectiveness."

Meanwhile, this ordinance amendment is scheduled to be approved at the plenary session of the 341st extraordinary session on the 22nd.
