영문 초록

This study at grasping the decision factors of the sexual division of labour theoretically and examining how these factors act under the present employment structure in the sector of petty manufacturing industry in Korea. The methods utilized for this study are participant observation and in-depth interview which are part of anthropological approaches. For this survey, a shirt maker and a children's clothing maker were selected among small clothing work-shops in the Pyongwha Market in Seoul. The chapter of the case study in this thesis puts emphasis on examining the socio-economic status of women workers employed in these workshops and their sexual division of labour in the context of employment structure in Korea. The conclusions attained through this survey and study can be summarized as follows: First, owing to their marginalized social [position, women workers of the Pyongwha Market could find their jobs only in this petty manufacturing industry. Second, under the present employment structure in which the principle of the established sexual division of labour is deep-rooted, women workers have to be content to be mere low-wage earners and lower class labourers: hence, it is not going too far to say that they always work at a subordinate position in the hierarchy of labour. Third, the owners of the "sweatshops" accaccumulate their capital by taking advantage of women labourer's low wages which excludes the concept of family wage. To sum up, the decision factors of the sexual division of labour can be understood in general as lying in the patriarchal system and capitalist production relations, and it can be said, in the case of Korea, that the marginalization of working class resulting from the process of the industrialization has pushed women labourers into a more marginalized situation. Since, the existing discussions on the sexual division of labour are not well organized and analyzed as yet, the case study of this thesis naturally encountered some difficulties to locate proper analyses to be adopted for this study. Therefore, more advanced and profound research/survey must be made on this subject in the future.
