After working as a nurse at a university hospital for 17 years, Mr. A, in his 50s, lost his career for 12 years due to overseas migration and childcare.



Having raised all the children and wanting to work again, Mr. A applied as a public health nurse hired by the ward office last February as a public health center with a part-time system.



The government created a system for women whose careers were cut off due to childbirth and childcare in 2013, so I thought that a second life would be possible with my career and my nurse's license.

Career interrupted woman: When I worked as a nurse, I felt a sense of accomplishment and reward.

As far as my job, I can help someone (I think there is)]



However, Mr. A, who passed the document screening and went to the final interview, was rejected.



Mr. A is not eligible to apply as the local public official appointment ordinance stipulates that 10 years have not passed since retirement for a part-time, fixed-term public official.

Career interrupted woman: I want to work, and I think that I can do it again.

The door to re-employment is very high (I felt it)]



As of last year, the total number of women who had lost their careers was 1448,000.

Of these, 40.1% were women who had lost more than 10 years of work experience.



They didn't even qualify to apply.



An official from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security explained, "There is no specific basis for calculating the 10-year standard."



It is criticized that it does not reflect the reality of parenting and that it does not fit the purpose of the system to help women who have lost their careers get re-employment.

Co-CEO of Politician Mothers: (Raising a child) One year goes by, and in the end, 10 years pass and this seems to be the case.

I think it is very discriminatory to put a 10-year limit like this.]



As the career cut-off period specified in the qualifications is a real obstacle, it needs improvement.
