Gyeonggi-do Announces Naming Contest for 'Non-Regular Workers Employment Instability Compensation System'

[Asia Economy (Uijeongbu) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is promoting the introduction of a compensation system for the instability of non-regular employment and is holding a contest for ideas that well reflect the policy.

The compensation system for instability in non-regular employment is a system that addresses the overlapping discrimination where workers with unstable employment receive lower wages, and for practical equality, short-term non-regular workers with unstable employment should be paid higher wages. Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung recently expressed active promotion of this system, attracting attention.

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 5th that it will hold the "Gyeonggi Province Non-Regular Employment Instability Compensation System Naming Contest" until the 17th of this month.

This naming contest was planned to raise public awareness of the non-regular employment instability system and to lead to the successful introduction of the policy.

The contest theme is a name that can effectively convey the purpose and meaning of the policy to the residents.

Applications can be submitted through the "Gyeonggi Province Voice website (vog.gg.go.kr)".

Winners will receive prizes of 500,000 KRW for the grand prize and 100,000 KRW for the excellence prize, paid in Gyeonggi local currency or Onnuri gift certificates. Additionally, 50 participants will be selected by lottery to receive a participation prize of 10,000 KRW.

The province will announce the final results at the end of this month.

The province plans to comprehensively review overseas cases along with the winning entries of the contest to determine the final official name.

Kim Gyu-sik, Director of the Labor Bureau of the province, said, "I hope this contest will serve as an opportunity to increase residents' understanding and interest in the issues of non-regular workers and related policies," and added, "We will do our best for the successful implementation of the system in the future."
