Country policy brief: Republic of Korea: The employment service package programme for youth
The Employment Service Package Programme for Youth is a holistic package providing customized assistance to young jobseekers at risk of dropping out of the workforce. The programme lasts for up to 12 months and is divided into three stages, which cover career guidance, training or work experience, and job placement services. Modest financial incentives for participation and some income support are also provided. The participants consist largely of long-term unemployed and less educated young people who typically have the greatest difficulty finding employment. This includes a number of marginalized youth who are at risk of social and economic exclusion.
