Her research employs qualitative methodologies to investigate how gender norms, social class, and institutional frameworks influence women's employment and fertility decisions in East Asia, with particular focus on South Korea's highly educated female population. She examines cultural constructions of work devotion, childcare expectations, and family policy impacts through narrative analysis of personal experiences.
Analysis of her 2018-2025 publications reveals consistent scholarly engagement with maternal employment patterns, parental leave systems, and gender norm evolution across East Asian contexts. Her work increasingly incorporates comparative frameworks examining South Korea alongside the United States, Spain, and Singapore, highlighting how overwork cultures and class dynamics reshape traditional gender roles.
