Notwithstanding the female labour supply conditions in South Korea and Taiwan sharing considerable similarity (delay in marriage, low fertility, and high enrolment in tertiary education), patterns of female labour force participation curve have gradually diverged since 1980s. Unlike the Korean counterpart which labour force participation of women is low during their motherhood, participation of Taiwanese married women in labour market appears to be comparatively active. In regards of such divergence, this study focuses primarily on the participation of married women with dependent children by analysing the EASS (East Asian Social Survey) dataset of year 2006. Understanding there are differences in structure and culture of organisations between the societies, family demands on women are found having significant impacts on their participation. As examined, variables such as “married couple who co-reside with elderly parents” and “husband’s earnings” have reached the significant level in Korean society; in Taiwan, “husband’s help in house chores” has reached the level of significance. In association with the attitudinal differences in traditional gender division of labour, it is discovered that the two societies are different in types of familialism.
