parental work hour reduction

The government has resumed the regular employment support program after two years, now including companies with fewer than 30 employees.
Family-friendly policies such as the 10 a.m. parental start time and reduced working hours are expanded, with up to KRW 600,000 per month in support for workers and employers.
Authorities plan to closely review policy effectiveness and continue improving systems to address labor market gaps and protect workers’ rights.
