Abstract

This research examined the theories and institutions related to the labour market transition of young job seekers and compared and analyzed the cases of Korea’s related policies and program with similar Danish flexible stability models. Literature and data, including prior domestic and international studies, were gathered and analyzed. According to the findings, employment policy is more important than integrated policy (MTP) that focuses on employment (MWP), which ensures that the implementation process works well from a career cycle perspective. Furthermore, rather than employment for the unemployed, it is more important for the employment service to facilitate labour market implementation, making it easier to implement employment-related transitions by creating a “bridge to employment” for both workers and companies. The current study provides directions to find employment services for seamless labour market transition of young job seekers.
