摘要

本文旨在探讨1995年至2021年期间政策翻译和制度遗产如何影响韩国的育儿假政策。它借鉴了对中央政治文件的文件分析和对韩国一些关键政策参与者的采访。调查结果表明，育儿假政策改革的实施主要基于四个基本原则:保护生育;应对低生育率;(职业母亲)工作与家庭生活的协调;最后，男人在照顾孩子方面的参与。瑞典的育儿假政策，尤其是引入的配额制度(“爸爸月”)，起到了启发作用。然而，韩国目前的育儿假设计与瑞典不同，这被分析为围绕生育率下降和制度遗留问题的局部改革的结果，主要与劳动市场的组织有关。

Parental Leave Reforms in South Korea, 1995–2021: Policy Translation and Institutional Legacies

This article aims to explore how policy translation and institutional legacies have shaped South Korean parental leave policies between 1995 and 2021. It draws on a document analysis of central political documents and interviews with a number of key policy actors in South Korea. The findings show that reforms of parental leave policies were implemented according to four major rationales: maternity protection; combating low-fertility rates; (working mothers’) work–family life reconciliation; and, finally, men's involvement in childcare. Swedish parental leave policies, especially the introduction of the quota system (the “daddy month”), served as inspiration. The current design of Korean parental leave differs, however, from that of Sweden, and is analyzed as a result of localized reforms surrounding plummeting fertility rates and institutional legacies, mainly connected to the organization of the labor market.

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
