Kim Yoon-duk, Democratic Party National Assembly Member for Jeonju-si Gap, Leads Bill Specifying 40% Local Talent Hiring Quota
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] On the 15th, Kim Yoon-duk, a member of the Democratic Party and National Assembly member for Jeonju-si Gap, announced that he has taken the lead in proposing the “Partial Amendment to the Act on the Promotion of Local Universities and Regional Balanced Talent,” which specifies the mandatory employment ratio of local talents at 40%.
According to the bill, which Kim Yoon-duk proposed as the lead and was co-signed by 13 other National Assembly members, the current law requires public institutions and companies with 300 or more regular employees to make efforts to hire a certain percentage of new recruits from local universities located in the region.
In response, Kim Yoon-duk stated, “The proportion of new hires at public institutions, as stipulated by the Presidential Decree, has been raised from the original 30% to 40%, and this has been directly stipulated as a mandatory requirement in the law.”
