On the 16th, the government decided at a liaison council of relevant ministries and agencies to establish a special team under the council to consider a policy package addressing labor shortages in the construction sector.
In addition to immediate measures such as mismatches between labor supply and demand, the team plans to discuss institutional issues, and its first meeting is expected to be held soon.
The second meeting of the liaison council of relevant ministries and agencies promoting the development and securing of human resources in strategic and social infrastructure-related fields was also held on the same day.
The government regards strengthening capacity in the construction sector as key to encouraging private investment in strategic fields such as AI and semiconductors. It is considering cross-government discussions led mainly by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, with the aim of compiling a policy package by the end of the year.
