A new organisation has been formed which is seeking to cooordinate the activities of the women work force which is about 40 per cent of the total workforce. There is tremendous wage disparity with men and despite the apparent industrial growth, a wave of uncertainty has gripped the work force comprising women of the country. This new organisation could well be a pathbreaker and help do something for the uplift of the community work force.

All industrial employees unions have always been controlled by the management in South Korea thus far making it impossible for the women work force to actually do something constructive to alleviate the disparity as also the potential dangers of retrenchment and other measures. For the first time, the women have found a voice and this could well be a pioneering achievement of the labour movement in South Korea.
