President's Message

Greetings!
Welcome to the website of Korean Women’s Development Institute(KWDI). I am Jongsoog Kim, the 17th President of KWDI.

Since its establishment in 1983, KWDI has served as a pivotal research institute dedicated to gender equality and family policies.

The Korean society is currently faced with diverse challenges such as the deepening low birth rate and aging issues, technology-driven changes in the labor market, family structure and other social issues. KWDI has made ceaseless efforts to tackle such issues by upholding the value of gender equality through its research activities based on scientific analysis. In doing so, we aim to make our society more sustainable and bring about a hopeful tomorrow for the future generations.

As a worldwide think tank for gender equality and family policy, KWDI will continue to conduct practical, innovative, and evidence-based research and contribute to resolving the challenges faced by the nation. KWDI will also exert the best effort to present a rational policy direction for the changing society through its research endeavors with trust from the people and policy users.

We look forward to your encouragement and support.

Thank you.
The 17th President of Korean Women’s Development Institute(KWDI)
Jongsoog Kim
