“An overwhelming majority of 93.9 percent of survey respondents also answered that the decline in total birth rates is a “social problem,” with most of the respondents citing the “difficulty in combining work and childcare” as the cause of the decline in birth rates.
Another report, released by the Korean Women’s Development Institute, highlights the significant caregiving burden shouldered by women, even in double-income households, where they spend an average of 11.69 hours per day caring for their children.
According to the report \”Study on the Reorganization of Social Care from a Gender Perspective,\” this exceeds the 7.76 hours contributed by childcare centers like daycare and kindergartens, the 4.71 hours contributed by fathers, and the 3.87 hours contributed by the child’s grandparents.
The total number of hours put in by the child’s mother for childcare was around 2.5 times more than the number of hours put in by the child’s father, according to results found by the institute after breaking down the parents’ day into 30-minute chunks and analyzing how working parents care for their children before and after work.
The KWDI concluded that the burden of childcare before and after work mostly fell on the mother, as mothers provided 60 to 80 percent of care for children between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. while fathers put in 10 percent during the same period.
As the workday progressed, the burden of childcare shifted to childcare centers or the child’s grandparents but went back to the child’s mother at the end of the day. As of 6 p.m. on a weekday, the share of childcare was distributed as 55.2 percent for the child’s mother, while only 20.2 percent went to the child’s father.
“The care of infants and young children, regardless of whether they are working or not, is predominantly provided by the child’s mother, clearly indicating gender inequality in the division of childcare,” said KWDI in its report.
“To alleviate the burden of care concentrated on mothers, the working environment must be structured to allow both childcare and work to balance out on each other and a reliable level of public care should also be established.””

    The preview was awful though as I strongly dislike the trope of dragging a woman by the wrist and the homophobic impression it left.

It was a drop for me after about 4 episodes the first time around. Tried it again a couple of years later, though, and really liked it.

Doctor Slump: Episodes 15-16 (Final)

by lovepark

It was another twist when after DY describes to HR how he kicked JW out of his clinic to make sure he gets to open his own clinic and do things his own way, that they show JW driving an expensive Audi going to a high rise with his picture plastered all over it like a brightly shining super star even bigger than before... to then suddenly reveal that actually he bought a motorbike and opened a small office in a nondescript part of town where he plans to start small and personal with a few patients. I think JW wants to live a more purposeful and fulfilling live where he gives back more and does more meaningful work than before.

How touching that the last scene was the last date that JW wanted to do originally before when they thought HN was going to the US- to go back to the beach and see the sunrise for real. Not only do they now know that the sun always comes up the next day, but sometimes it's a dark gloomy day but other times it's a beautiful sunrise and you can choose to remember all the beautiful sunrises and know another one is coming even if you can't see it today.
