The purpose of this study is to identify women’s employment trajectories in middle ages. Data used for this article is the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (KLoSA). The sample consists of women aged from 45 to 65 years. And this study adopted a Group-based Trajectory analysis method to examine middle aged women’s employ trajectories across the period. The results show that Women’s employment trajectories are divided into five groups and it was named as ① Late entry after childbearing ② Continuously family work ③ simultaneously family and labor market work ④ Labor market re-exit ⑤ early entry after childbearing. The implications of these findings are as follows. First, it is necessary to implement labor market policies for women after considering women’s various employment patterns. In addition, more political concerns should be given on women in mid-life and it is needed to create ‘decent job’ for these women.
