Labor Market Duality in Korea
A new IMF working paper finds that “employment protection legislations and large productivity differentials are the key drivers of Korea’s duality. […] well-calibrated flexicurity policies can significantly reduce duality and inequality and raise welfare and productivity. Notably, the introduction of all three pillars—flexibility, a strong safety net and active labor market policies—is critical for its success. If only one pillar is introduced it can result in negative side-effects and might not reduce duality.”
