| More Korean Men Are Choosing Family Over the Office |
For the first time on record, more than 274,000 Korean men are now full-time homemakers, stepping away from the workforce to care for children, grandchildren, and household responsibilities.
The number has increased by 16.6% compared to last year, reaching the highest level since related records began in 2004.
While women still make up the vast majority of full-time homemakers, the gap is gradually narrowing. At the same time, female employment continues to rise, and more fathers are taking parental leave than ever before.
In a country where traditional sayings once suggested that "men should not set foot in the kitchen," these numbers point to a significant cultural change. 🇰🇷
Is this a sign that Korean families are redefining gender roles for a new generation? 🤔
What do you think about the growing number of stay-at-home dads in Korea?
