principle of following the father’s surname in the Civil Act and the provision which lays emphasis on the blood relationship in the Rules on Family Litigation could be ultimately seen as moves to maintain or consider the principle of succeeding paternal blood which violates gender equality in family life enshrined in the Constitution, triggering the need for the revision. [13] Improvement in Gender Impact Analysis and Assessment and GenderResponsive Budgeting (List of Issues 4) 61. Gender Impact Analysis and Assessment is a system for the government policies to contribute to the realization of gender equality by systemically analyzing and assessing factors such as characteristics of and social/economic gap between men and women in the process of developing and implementing major government policies including legislation, plans and projects based on the Gender Impact Analysis and Assessment Act enacted in 2011. The system expanded the scope of application to include legislation and plans in addition to projects and consequently in 2014, the number of analysis and assessment conducted by central administrative agencies and local authorities was as many as 26,438. Although important government policies should be developed and implemented from the perspective of gender equality by going through the Gender Impact Analysis and Assessment, the issue of low birthrate, for which the Government spent more than 100 trillion won for the past decade, has seen no progress. Furthermore, a fundamental evaluation on the effectiveness of the system is required as there was a case of “Korea Childbirth Map” developed by the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs in December 2016 which basically regarded women’s childbirth as a tool. 62. Gender-Responsive Budgeting also increased the number of applicable tasks and in 2015 budgets of 343 projects of 42 organizations were drawn up, considering its impact on gender issues. However, aside from such quantitative expansion, the superficial operation of the system and its lopsided emphasis on quantitative achievements have been continuously indicated.
