According to a survey conducted in South Korea for the time period of 2022, around 72 percent of respondents stated that maternal leave was freely available at their workplaces. One in five reported that while maternal leave was an option, the work atmosphere and difficulty in finding replacements caused employees to not take full advantage of their rights.
