In a recent analysis by South Korean lawmaker Jeong Il-young, it was revealed that 75% of public institutions under the Ministry of Economy and Finance have failed to meet mandatory disability employment quotas over the past six years. This statistic highlights a significant gap in the commitment of public sector organizations to inclusivity and social responsibility, raising questions about the effectiveness of current policies aimed at promoting employment for individuals with disabilities.

In a striking revelation, South Korean lawmaker Kim Sang-hoon has highlighted the alarming reality that only 22.7% of national veterans are employed in the private sector, despite a legal obligation for companies to hire them. This statistic raises serious questions about the government’s commitment to honoring its promises to those who have served the nation. The current employment support system for veterans is not just a bureaucratic formality; it is a moral obligation that reflects the dignity and respect owed to these individuals.
