The purpose of the study is to explore in terms of users how much the current parental leave system guarantees the parental right of workers. A qualitative study through in-depth interviews was used for the study. The participants comprised 14 females who were on parental leave or had had parental leave across various kind of jobs. The results of the data analysis showed 6 sub-categories and 3 categories. The drawn categories on the parental right guarantee of parental leave system were as follows : the sufficiency of legal leave term (legal parental leave sufficiency: in case of civil servants, service organization staff and teachers/ legal parental leave insufficiency: in case else than civil servants, service organization staff and teachers), the self-regulation of leave term (the difficulty of substitute supply/ the low replacement rate of parental leave pay , and the parental right realization after reinstatement (no consideration about parenting in placement / the difficulty of short-time working on parenting period). On the one hand, the result of type-analysis as to the realization of parental right through parental leave with participants showed three different types, which were substantive realization type, fictional realization type, and lost-benefit realization type. Some policy suggestions have been made for the parental right guarantee of parental leave system based on these findings.
