The recent ‘2025 Incheon Midlife and Women Job Fair’ showcased a significant turnout, emphasizing the pressing need for tailored employment opportunities for midlife women in the region. With over 500 job seekers participating, this event highlighted the challenges faced by this demographic in accessing relevant job information and resources. Organized by multiple agencies, including the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the fair offered various support services, from resume writing assistance to personalized job consultations.

Incheons innovative approach to tackling youth unemployment through its Youth Leap Base initiative is a game changer in a job market increasingly favoring experienced candidates. With the youth employment rate in South Korea declining for 16 consecutive months, this program offers a lifeline to young job seekers aged 18 to 39, providing them with essential job training and internship opportunities. The initiative not only equips participants with practical skills through a three-month training program but also connects them with companies willing to hire interns.
