The 19 May event at FKI Tower in Seoul will examine employment flexibility and safety-net expansion, with presentations from academics and researchers including experts from KIEP and Sungshin Women's University.
A discussion chaired by Hyundai Research Institute president Song Wonkeun will include participants from Seoul National University, KDI, the labour ministry and Korea Economic Research Institute.
FKI says the seminar will seek reform ideas that raise productivity while protecting workers through stronger support for job transitions and re-employment amid industrial and technological change.
Will performance-based pay boost innovation, or will it just deepen the precarity for Korea's millions of non-regular workers?
As South Korea eyes US-style flexibility, how can it avoid adopting a 'broken' safety net that subsidizes low-wage employers?
