Women’s Policy Research Institute Reorganized into Three Research Divisions and Establishes Vice President Position

Reorganization from 6 Centers to 3 Headquarters
Establishment of Seongjulyuhwa Knowledge Innovation Headquarters

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The Korea Women's Policy Institute announced on the 22nd that it has reorganized its research departments and established a new vice president position to break down silos across different fields.

The institute's research organization will change from the existing six-center system to a three-headquarters system. A vice president system overseeing both research and management areas has been introduced to adapt to internal environmental changes.

The research headquarters are divided into the Women's Future Research Headquarters, Work and Life Research Headquarters, and Gender Violence Research Headquarters. Each research headquarters has been subdivided to focus on areas such as future responses for women across life cycles, policy development in response to changes in the policy landscape surrounding jobs and families, and gender perspectives on the violent social environment against women and its improvement.

A Gender Mainstreaming Knowledge Innovation Headquarters has been newly established to reorganize departmental functions for the efficient operation of gender mainstreaming research and projects. This headquarters consists of the Gender Equality Strategy Project Center, Gender Impact Assessment Center, Gender-Responsive Budgeting Center, Gender Data Center, and Information Knowledge Sharing Center. The Information Knowledge Sharing Center was created to diversify the institute's information functions and actively share research outcomes.

Along with the organizational restructuring, the Korea Women's Policy Institute also implemented key personnel appointments.
