[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] A new path has opened to understand labor market information of special-type workers (teukgo), freelancers, and others who are in the blind spots of the employment insurance system by utilizing national tax statistics.

The Korea Employment Information Service and the National Tax Service signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the 19th to use the National Tax Statistics Center.

This agreement was promoted so that the Employment Information Service can conduct research such as labor market analysis using the basic data of national tax statistics provided by the National Tax Statistics Center of the National Tax Service.

The Employment Information Service plans to conduct research related to labor market blind spots based on the basic data provided after personal information is anonymized at the National Tax Statistics Center.

In particular, the purpose is to accurately grasp income-related information of self-employed individuals, teukgo, freelancers, and others to create policies suitable for marginalized groups.

Na Young-don, President of the Korea Employment Information Service, said, "This agreement was promoted to examine the rapidly changing labor market from various perspectives due to the spread of COVID-19," adding, "We will actively strive to identify blind spots that are difficult to confirm with existing employment administrative statistics and produce information for establishing high-quality employment policies."
