[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province plans to create 133,555 new jobs by 2026.

On the 3rd, Suwon City announced that it has established the "8th Term Comprehensive Job Creation Plan," aiming to achieve an employment rate of 67.4% by creating a total of 133,555 new jobs.

This plan is based on the vision of "An Economic Special City with Many Jobs, Shining Suwon Citizens," and is divided into four major strategies and 17 implementation tasks: ▲ Attracting and supporting companies to complete the Economic Special City ▲ Successful startup promotion and revitalization of the local economy ▲ Providing citizen-tailored job support services ▲ Expanding job measures for the youth.

The implementation tasks include attracting large corporations and advanced companies, expanding corporate support to prevent outflow from Suwon, promoting Suwon Angel Funding, operating demand-tailored job centers, helping women with career interruptions to resume their careers, and strengthening youth employment capabilities.

A total of 298 projects will be carried out across nine fields including job creation, vocational skill development training, and employment services.

The annual job creation targets are 33,286 in 2023, 33,071 in 2024, 33,385 in 2025, and 33,813 in 2026. The goal is to achieve an employment rate of 67.4% by 2026.

Introduced in 2010, the Regional Job Target Disclosure System requires local government heads to establish job targets and job policies to be achieved during their terms and announce them to citizens. The central government supports local policies, monitors progress, and provides incentives to outstanding local governments.

In July, Suwon City received the highest award in the Regional Job Target Disclosure System category at the "2022 National Local Government Job Awards" hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.

A city official stated, "We will faithfully implement job policies and definitely achieve the job creation goals of the 8th term," adding, "We will continue to create high-quality jobs and contribute to making Suwon an 'Economic Special City.'"
