This poster concisely presents the fundamental labor rights that young people entering the workforce, such as through part-time jobs, must know. It covers six key topics?electronic surveillance, weekly holiday allowance, unfair dismissal, employment contracts, minimum wage, and industrial accident insurance?using core statements and intuitive design to help students understand these concepts.

The bottom of the poster includes the consultation numbers for the Center for Democracy and Human Rights and the Labor Rights Center. This is intended to enable swift consultation and response in cases of labor rights violations.

In addition, the Office of Education operates the "Labor Rights Classroom Visiting Schools" program for 450 classes each year and continues to run monthly labor rights campaigns and consultation activities.

Superintendent Lee Jeongseon stated, "We will continue to make every effort to ensure that youth can grow up in a safe and respectful working environment."
