In studying the 'basic state policy of equality between men and women', it is more than necessary to probe it from the aspect of public policy, just as it is important to discuss it on the theoretical plane. As a basic state policy involves the overall interest and plays a commanding role, it inevitably embraces a profound ideological content in terms of the understanding of the policy issue, the comprehension of its gist, the design of its goal and the formulation of the principle for its implementation. Policy ideology contains the significance of a practical concept, in that it is not wholy on the order of a theoretical proposition but has a direct bearing on the hard facts of life. It is, therefore, of positive significance to clarify the policy ideology of the 'basic state policy of equality between men and women', in order to facilitate the implementation of the basic state policy. Based on this understanding, this essay presents a preliminary discussion on such aspects as the confirmation of the policy issue, the value option of the state policy, its goal system, its principle of implementation, and the relationship between law and concrete policies.
