Gyeonggi-do Job Foundation held a roundtable for women's employment and entrepreneurship support organizations on the 25th.

The meeting proceeded with sharing the current status of women’s employment and entrepreneurship support projects by each institution for this year, followed by discussions on collaboration methods among the institutions.

Park Yoon-jung, Director of the Gyeonggi Metropolitan Saeil Center, stated, "Low birth rates and women’s employment are issues that must be considered together. We need to strengthen support systems that enable women to work through expanded collaboration with local communities." She added, "We will regularize the roundtable and strive to activate women’s employment and entrepreneurship by providing job training and employment services tailored to (prospective) entrepreneurs through cooperation with local institutions."
