[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Son Seon-hee] The Statistics Korea announced on the 18th that it will conduct the '2021 Second Half Regional Employment Survey' targeting 230,000 households nationwide until the 2nd of next month.

This survey, conducted through a combination of internet, telephone, and face-to-face interviews, will enable Statistics Korea to produce various statistics such as employment rates and unemployment rates by city, county, and district, which serve as basic data for employment policy formulation. Additionally, it will investigate the economic activity status of non-cohabiting spouses to be used for analyzing the status of dual-income households.

Among the survey contents, the main employment indicators by city, county, and district will be announced in February next year, and detailed indicators such as the characteristics of employed persons by industry and occupation will be published in April and June next year, respectively.

Ryu Geun-gwan, Commissioner of Statistics Korea, stated, "All surveyed information will be used solely for statistical compilation purposes under the Statistics Act, and confidentiality will be strictly protected," adding, "We ask for the active participation and accurate responses of the households selected as samples."
