South Korea's government announced on July 9, 2026, it will operate a "Korea-style canary dashboard" to reduce employment shocks from the transition to artificial intelligence (AI). The Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) unveiled the "basic plan for employment stability in industrial transition" at the National Policy Coordination Meeting. The dashboard, an online system showing real-time employment changes by industry and age for key occupations with high AI exposure, is used by Stanford University in the United States. The government will develop a Korea-style AI exposure index and issue early warnings for high-exposure occupations. It will conduct preliminary employment impact assessments, starting with sectors with major transition effects. To develop worker capabilities, it will provide practice-focused education for young people and expand reemployment support services for middle-aged and older people; establishments required to offer these services will expand from those with 1,000 or more employees to those with 300 or more employees by 2029. The government plans to support AI job training for more than 1 million people by 2030. It will develop a working-hours reduction model and enact a "support act for reducing actual working hours." It will additionally create the "public participation Public Growth Fund" at a scale of 600 billion won.
