In 2022, there were about 16.4 million economically active men and around 12.6 million economically active women in South Korea. Although the number of economically active women and thus the female labor force participation rate in South Korea has risen steadily in recent years, it is still far below the average of the member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
