SBS in cooperation with global consulting firm Bain & Company, presented the 2nd Future Korea Report on ‘Job shock and the future of labor’ on January 19(Wed), 2005 at Grand Hyatt Seoul.
Experts analyzed solution for job crisis, including author of ‘The End of Work’ Jeremy Rifkin from the perspective of future of world labor market, and John Martin OECD Director for Employment, Labor and Social Affairs in comparison of other advanced countries.
SBS and Bain & Company argued that Korea should cope with social diversification through active job creation. Since Korean economy is likely to adhere to low growth rate, without active strategy there is concern of increasing unemployment that result in social problems. In addition if the economy stays in 4% growth rate, net amount of 1 million jobs will be gone by 2010.
