In a foreign country, you can often see a parliamentarian holding a baby. This landscape, where work and family coexist, is being initiated to make it possible in the National Assembly.

It is the sole report of Nam Jung Min reporter.

A child sitting on her lap is pointing her hand at her.

Rep. Rich Aaron Julie of Italy, called "the mother of the European Parliament," has been on a political schedule with her daughter for nearly six years.

At the end of last year, the speaker of the National Assembly held a meeting with a fellow member of the parliament in New Zealand.

[TRAVERT MALLARD / NEW ZEALAND Speaker: I think it will be a good example for the community. I think this is too far behind.]

Five months ago, in the United States, Senator Tammy Duckworth recruited his newborn daughter.

Thanks to the unanimous passing of the law by fellow lawmakers so that both can act well as a counselor.

Is it possible in our congress?

Next month, a new lawmaker, Shin Bora, is due to give birth to a bill that allows him to enter the conference room with the infant of the breastfeeding age.

More than 60 lawmakers participated.

Under the current National Assembly law, only those who are required to examine the bill are allowed to enter.

[Shin Bora / Free Korean MP: I have a sense of mission to lead the work-family balance, but I do not think I've ever had the experience of practicing it in the legislative or the Congress.]

The proportion of women in Korea is 17%, the 117th among 193 countries.

To increase the participation of women in politics, the voice of the need to change from the National Assembly to the family is getting stronger.
