With the degree of industrialization and information being strengthened, the share of women in higher education and employment in China and South Korea increases. Highly educated women have a rich economic and cultural capital, so they manage to get out from the traditional structure of women and are actively shaping the new image of women in China and South Korea. However, due to the limitations of traditional female roles, marriage for highly educated women in China and South Korea becomes particularly difficult.
In this , the concept of marriage for and highly educated women in China and Korea is comprehensively explained. And what role traditional family values and women image play for criteria of choosing spouses and future family plan of highly educated female is also discussed.
Research method of this is to give out questionnaires to highly educated women in China and South Korea on their basic attitude of marriage, mate selection criteria and future family planning and awareness of traditional female roles, etc. In order to supplement the questionnaire results, further interviews are employed in specific cases.
The results are as follows:
On the one hand, highly educated woman of the two countries have many things in common. First independent women have a very large request for self realization and are trying hard in order to change the traditional image of women. Second, highly educated women in China and Korea stress on requirements of hypergamy on their spouses, with long-term vision, they usually have a comprehensive plan of marriage and life. Third, highly educated women in China and South Korea put great emphasis on gender equality, and in order to change the reality of the situation, consciously fulfill gender equality. When faced with difficulties in marriage, highly educated women in the background of social transition in the two nations usually differ in their choices. Although highly educated Chinese women are not satisfied with Chinese traditional family values, in the actual process of spouse selecting, they are more conservative and traditional than the average female, and have more requirements on family homogeneity conditions. In other words, highly educated women as the center of China's inherent value of families actually deepen and exacerbate social reality of marriage difficulties through their spouse selecting in China. At the same time due to the limitations of the one-child family in major cities, part of the highly educated women will continue to live with their parents after marriage. Therefore, the future of China's high-educated women family life, whether it is the form or content will be different from with the nuclear families, and family-centered latch of the not easily be broken. For highly educated women in Korea, they are more inclined to the modern concept of individualism family compared to traditional family values, and therefore become a new family structure creator of Korean society, in a de-constructed form. The traditional family values were revolt and changed.
From traditional marriage culture and attitude on the role of women, highly educated women in China have a stronger demand for equity than of women in South Korea, and this is partly due to the one-child policy and China's socialist urban households. On one hand, this supportive policy makes highly educated Chinese women's status in society and the family be improved. On the other hand Chinese society for gender equality emphasizes that compared to South Korea make China highly educated women reason to avoid marriage becomes less adequate, but the traditional Chinese family tendencies are deepened.
In this study, marriage is the theme, the highly educated women are chosen as the target of studying. How concepts of marriage changes in a new era of industrialization, education, and economic means of thinking and action is analyzed and studied. After analyzing, it can be seen from the result that the traditional culture of unbalanced roles between male and female in Korea and the over-emphasized family-centered value in China are the main reasons that cause the difficulty of getting married for highly educated women in China and South Korea. Therefore, to change the current situation, it is far from enough to only study women’s concept of marriage, men’s concept of marriage also needs to be studied. And the highly educated women in China and Korea is just a small group of people, thus it has some limitations by taking their concept of marriage to represent women in Korea and China as a whole.
