South Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor is coordinating with the National Assembly to ensure social dialogue is reflected in the "Ultra-Large-Scale Special Zone Act," currently being spearheaded by the ruling party. This legislation aims to support corporate investment and lead regional growth, dubbed as "Mega Special Zones". The ministry emphasizes the importance of consensus-building with labor, management, and other stakeholders. Officials are working to incorporate measures that address potential labor market impacts resulting from the zones’ development in Seoul. The Act intends to attract significant investment by offering deregulation and incentives within designated special zones across the country. The government expects these zones will drive balanced regional development and bolster economic competitiveness, particularly focusing on innovation and new industries. Further discussions are expected to refine the Act before final passage.
