[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Daegu City announced on the 16th that it has been selected for the '2021 Win-Win Regional Job Consulting Support Project' promoted by the Labor-Management Development Foundation under the Ministry of Employment and Labor, securing 150 million KRW in national funding.

The 'Win-Win Regional Jobs,' aimed at creating quality jobs through the cooperation of labor, management, civil society, and government, is an ambitious project promoted by the government for regional economic recovery and national balanced development.

Since forming the 'Daegu-type Win-Win Job Promotion Committee' in July last year, Daegu City has been steadily seeking to discover win-win regional job models in the '5+1 industries' (future cars, robots, water, medical, energy, and smart city sectors).

As a result of these efforts, in February, Daegu also secured 100 million KRW in national funding through the '2021 Win-Win Regional Job Specialized Consulting' support project led by the Presidential Committee on Jobs.

According to Daegu City, through the consulting selected this time, they plan to concretize and develop Daegu-type win-win job models suitable for the region, focusing on future new industries such as future automobiles and the water industry, and apply for government-designated win-win regional jobs as soon as possible.

Companies participating in government-designated win-win regional jobs will receive full customized incentives such as subsidies, R&D, management stabilization funds, and tax benefits from the government and local governments.

Hong Ui-rak, Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of Daegu City, stated, "Labor, management, civil society, and government will work together to discover another second and third successful Daegu-type win-win job models following the 'IraeAMS model,' overcoming the current employment crisis and leading to an overall improvement in the regional industrial structure through our best efforts."
