As most who traveled to PyeongChang probably noticed, the vast majority of Korean volunteers were women do I was very curious as to why. Well talking to the ones I had the pleasure of meeting, they were volunteering to to help build their resume and experience. While interesting, what was more peculiar is why not as many men were doing the same. Well, as it turns out, 74% of working age men are employed while only 52% of women, meaning that there are a much larger population of women in Korea that would not have to worry about missing work to participate, or hope that the experience helps with prospects.
