The Korean government should approach the issue of women's political empowerment in a view of securing the basic rights of people equally for women and of abiding by the spirit of the Constitution. Also, it needs to see the issue as providing the soft power and the world view of women, inclining to peace and harmony, so as to flexibly prepare the era of information, internationalization and globalization and of reunification of the Korean Peninsula. In reality, women's participation in high-ranking positions and professional positions within the government structure is very low. From now on, the government has to correct its prejudiced attitudes toward women; adopt a quota system of allocating 20% to women in employing and promoting appointed positions (in the level of ministers and vice ministers) as well as administrative positions which have decision-making power and in sending a delegation to an international organization, in order to increase the opportunities of education, training and employment for women; and endeavor to look for realistic and substantial measures for the realization of the quota system by each sector in the government. If the government introduces the measures of equal employment, such as the quota system, this would have great influence on the increase of women's advancement into the private sector because the government would be able to show a good model for equal employment, as the employer of the public sector. Besides, the government ought to raise women's participation in formulating reunification policies and reconsider women's roles as reconcilers and mediators in the age of Korea's reunification. Due to the division of the Korean Peninsula for more than 50 years, the two Koreas have differences and hostility in terms of systems and culture, which will be the first problem to deal with in the reunification age. To solve this problem, it is inevitable to devise and implement education and cultural policies proper for a new reunified Korea. This is from the understanding that not political solutions but the recovery of cultural homogeneity can put an end to the adversary and dissimilar relationship between the two Korea. In this situation, women's knowledge and experiences which have been accumulated in the educational world and the cultural field will be preciously utilized. The government authorities need to fortify a policy thinking that it is efficient to employ women in overcoming such past remains as distrust, antagonism, violence and war, which have been built up mainly by men, and constructing a new future relationship of trust, reconciliation and peace. To this end, the government encourages women to participate in all the committees for reunification and helps them to become more than 30% of the total in each committee. Entering upon this new century, a great longing of women for participation in politics is getting higher throughout the world now than in any other times. It is certain that a new transparent politics, which stresses quality life, peace and environment, can be materialized by the political participation of women who have been excluded from politics so far. Women's perspectives and leadership different from men's will be able to transform the past politics, which is characterized as male norms, such as regulation and control, war and rioting, and power struggles, into a new one. Women will change the true nature of politics, raise a question on the existing male-centered prejudice in politics, and make women's politics not a peripheral politics within the male-centered political system but a transformative politics.
