Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency ”Supports” Korean Youth's Dream of ”Working in Japan”

The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) announced on the 19th that it held a job fair in Tokyo on the 18th to help young Koreans find employment in Japan.
The fair will feature 68 Japanese companies, including major furniture and interior retailers Nitori and Hoshino Resorts, as well as Korean companies with operations in Japan, such as Hanatour and Hyundai Motor Japan.
Fifteen companies participated. Japan's employment market has been facing a shortage of employees due to a decline in the working population. In this environment, stagnant wages are expected to be adjusted upwards, and Toyota is looking to raise its wages for the first time in 25 years.
Nippon Steel Corporation raised base salaries by 14.2% after labor and management agreed to the largest wage increase of any company in the country. This trend of wage increases at Japanese companies has attracted Korean job seekers who are turning their attention to the attractiveness of the Japanese job market.
Kim Sam-sik, KOTRA's regional director for Japan, said, "This fair will be an opportunity to support Korean youth in their activities on the world stage and contribute to economic cooperation between the two countries."
I hope it will be," he said.
