The study is to grope for the unified device of the women's welfare policy in the United Korea by considering the women's welfare in North Korea centering on the women's welfare law and system among the social security laws and systems in the present. The North Korea have enforced women's welfare policies according to the ideologies and constitutions. But in the welfare policy women are in the secondary stage by means of the ideology of sexual devision. It, therefore, is clear that the position of the North Korean women goes in advance of the South Korean women in the law and system. North Korean women are discriminated not only in home and labor participation, but also in social welfare. There are the patriarchal family system and sexual devision of labor under the discrimination against woman. As though the both sexes are equal in law, the welfare law and system are applicated unequally to woman because of the ideology of sexual devision and fanilism which family should take the primary responsibility of welfare.

The device of women's welfare means building the social welfare system based on the real gender equality, so the unification will be important turning point for the gender-equal society to the South-North Korean women
