that affect them. The second outcome of KWWA is the organization of a Korean women’s trade union. People knew that organizing a Korean women’s trade union was needed but doubted whether it was possible. Nevertheless, activists at KWWA organized a Korean women’s trade union during the economic crisis and expanded the union to 6,000 members through their efforts. As a result of their hard work, activists at KWWA contributed to giving an impetus to the women worker’s movement. The third outcome has been to organize women. KWWA has not only supported but has also organized women in transition between employment and unemployment, such as unemployed women, poor women, irregular workers, etc. Besides organizing the Korean women’s trade union, KWWA has also organized cooperative unions and some of these have been very successful. The National House Manager’s Cooperative is the key example. Activists at KWWA think that projects which view women as beneficiaries, such as providing jobs, vocational training, etc. are not enough, and that activists should help women speak up for themselves and organize themselves on their own. Activists understand what the goal of the women worker’s movement is and what the relations between activists and women workers should be. 4) Future of the Women Worker’s Movement Because of globalization and the increasing polarization between rich and poor, move people are having a harder time. As a result, the numbers of those needing help for the women worker’s movement are increasing and the concept of workers is changing. In this situation, what should the women worker’s movement do? Increase in progressive welfare Increases in social welfare and more efforts to organize the beneficiaries of welfare are needed. Women workers tend to lose their job easily, and the women worker’s movement may not include then when they are out of work. Many women workers do not identify with the working class, as well. The welfare system could include more women that the women worker’s movement. KWWA pursues“progressive welfare,” which is different from that of many other welfare groups. Progressive welfare involves organizing the beneficiary as well as offering them welfare benefits. For the present, it is difficult to know how big the possibilities are. KWWA needs to try harder to connect the welfare system with the women worker’s movement. Focus on the women worker’s movement Welfare work is an easier and milder movement, but it is not about a fundamental and complete solution to inequality. Activists think that the women worker’s issue is about discrimination as well as poverty. Activists make more efforts to focus on abolishing discrimination.
