[Asia Economy reporters Kang Nahum and Won Dara] The Democratic Party of Korea, the government, and the Blue House began discussions on selecting livelihood tasks to be addressed in the 21st National Assembly on the 31st.

The Democratic Party's Euljiro Committee, the Blue House, and the Fair Trade Commission held a meeting titled "21st National Assembly Party-Government-Blue House Euljiro Livelihood Issue Task Selection and Discussion" at the National Assembly that morning. Attendees included Floor Leader Kim Tae-nyeon, Euljiro Committee Chair Park Hong-geun, Fair Trade Commission Chair Cho Sung-wook, and Blue House Job Secretary Hwang Deok-soon.

In his opening remarks, Floor Leader Kim emphasized, "Urgent measures are needed to revitalize local consumption and support the neighborhood economy, such as fostering a win-win ecosystem for rapidly growing delivery apps and expanding local love gift certificates. Additionally, we must eradicate power abuse in the sports, culture, and arts sectors and prepare plans to ensure employment stability and improve treatment for workers."

Chair Cho stated, "The groups most directly affected by COVID-19 are small business owners and self-employed individuals. It has been an unwritten rule that economic crises inevitably widen inequality. Now, more than ever, the voices of the 'Eul' in various industries and fields are important."

Secretary Hwang said, "The Party, government, and Blue House have promoted important policies to realize a fair economy through seven previous issue meetings. Various measures, including win-win plans for delivery app platforms and eradicating power abuse in sports and cultural arts sectors, are scheduled for discussion. We will work together to ensure these policies are vigorously implemented."

The main agenda of the meeting is expected to focus on delivery app commission issues. Other topics likely to be discussed include ▲ measures to revitalize neighborhood commercial districts ▲ resolving unfair issues in the culture and arts sectors and improving worker treatment ▲ eradicating power abuse and ensuring employment stability in sports ▲ improving workplace bullying and power abuse.
