人权观察组织发布的《年龄太大且是女性》研究报告指出，韩国女性从职业初期到退休后的全生命周期内面临深层次的性别薪酬与职业障碍1。报告通过采访41名韩国女性发现，性别歧视问题贯穿薪酬结构、职业晋升和养老保障各环节1。
根据该报告数据，韩国性别薪酬差异为OECD国家中最高1。具体而言，27岁女性的收入比同龄男性少8%，到50多岁时这一差距扩大至50%1。大学毕业一年后，女性的薪酬差距更为明显，比男性少赚22%1。在职业晋升方面，2024年女性仅占经理职位的18%，38名高级公务员中仅5名为女性1。
女性职业发展面临的另一个结构性困境是薪资增长的中断1。女性薪资通常在30多岁后期达到峰值，之后持续下降，形成不同于男性的薪酬轨迹1。强制退休年龄制度进一步加剧了这一问题：61岁的朴在顺被迫在60岁从公用事业公司退休，年收入从5500万韩元下跌至1560万韩元，降幅高达72%1。
养老金差距同样严重1。2025年10月，女性领取的国家养老金平均为男性的53%，差距达47%1。人权观察组织在报告中建议废除强制退休年龄和"峰值薪资"制度，并推进真正的同工同酬政策1。
Human Rights Watch released a report documenting how South Korean women face pervasive employment discrimination that extends across their entire working lives, from initial hiring through retirement. 1 The organization's study, based on interviews with 41 South Korean women, identified structural obstacles including career interruptions, occupational segregation, and declining wages after mid-career peaks that collectively suppress women's lifetime earnings. 1
The wage disparities are particularly stark at different career stages. Women aged 27 earn approximately 8% less than their male counterparts, a gap that widens dramatically to 50% by the time they reach their 50s. 1 University graduates show a 22% earnings deficit one year after graduation compared to male graduates as of 2024. 1 The representation of women in management remains limited, comprising only 18% of managerial positions in 2024, while among 38 senior civil servants, just 5 are women. 1 South Korea maintains the highest gender wage gap among OECD countries since 1992. 1
The report documented specific cases illustrating the long-term financial impact of these barriers. Park Jae-soon, a 61-year-old, was forced to retire from a public utility company at age 60, experiencing a dramatic 72% drop in annual income from 55 million won to 15.6 million won. 1 The wage suppression continues into retirement, as women receiving state pensions in October 2025 received on average only 53% of the amount paid to men, representing a 47% gap. 1 Women's salaries typically peak in their late 30s before beginning a sustained decline. 1
Human Rights Watch recommended eliminating mandatory retirement ages and peak-salary systems to achieve genuine wage equality. 1
