The purpose of this paper is to examine whether conservative perception on korean women's gender role and their social participation have moved to gender- equal perception. Since the numbers of working women have dramatically increased and many institutions improving women's rights and social status have established and we assume that our perception on women's role in our society may be changed.

Besides gender, age is another important factor affecting conservatism. However, political ideology and employment do not significantly affect the perception on korean women's gender role and their social participation
