[단독] ‘체납관리단’ 본뜬 새 청년 공공일자리, 내년 2만개 창출 추진

The South Korean government aims to create over 20,000 new public sector jobs for young people next year, based on the model of the "Body" Management Unit (BMO) introduced by the Korea Tax Service Agency. The government's strategy involves focusing on high-profit sectors with a strong return on investment. On the 11th, the Finance and Economy Ministry and the Ministry of Employment and Labor outlined their plans, with the "Youth Job Recovery Plan" expected to be released soon.

The government plans to allocate a total of 200,000 jobs annually between the public and private sectors over the next four years. The public sector jobs will be classified as "Value Creation Type" jobs and detailed projects will be included in the annual budget and job creation measures. The Ministry of Employment and Labor is currently reviewing options such as preventing wage arrears and reimbursing the government for wages, particularly in the construction sector.

The LH Corporation, responsible for land acquisition, plans to bolster its workforce for compensation tasks. The government's approach is inspired by the success of the BMO, which managed to collect 10 trillion won in unpaid taxes in 80 days, yielding two times the budget expenditure. The government also plans to expand its KNE Academy (K) training program for the private sector, with incentives for hiring.

However, the government is concerned about the temporary nature of most public sector jobs, which may not provide long-term stability for young workers, but still sees potential in these initiatives for building foundational communication skills and career planning.
