Are there many women in chaebols in non-secretarial positions?

  I would say so, yes. I'm sure the ratio could be higher but women are well-represented nonetheless.

    well in the entry level positions but most of those women marry other chaeabol company men - often their superiors - and then some stop working once they marry

  Yes. A lot more than in your average tech company. You still don't see that many female executives, but at the bottom, the influx of fresh grad hires is pretty much 50/50.

  Yes, and speaking from experience they were the better managers to work with. There are also significant numbers of women employed in technical roles outside of the chaebols, I found the ratio of female-to-male programmers and engineers was much higher than in the US or Australia.

  No, South Korea is arguably the least equal, developed nation. "Korean women with high levels of education actually have a more difficult time being accommodated in the workforce. According to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2012, the current ratio of women to men in upper management positions and public office is a meager 1 to 9. At 104th, Korea ranks below some of the world’s least developed countries, such as Burkina Faso, Malawi and Syria." "Women in Korea make on average 39 percent less than men. This difference in wages ranks Korea bottom amongst peer nations in regards to pay equality." http://thediplomat.com/2014/05/south-koreas-woeful-workplace-inequality/ http://thediplomat.com/2014/05/south-koreas-woeful-workplace...
