IntroductionIn collaboration with the Rural Development Administration and Yonsei University School of Social Welfare, the Korea Labor Institute organized an international seminar on “Development of Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance and a Strengthened Social Safety Net.”At this seminar, the experience and development path of Germany and Austria with such long history of industrial accident insurance (student/farmer injury insurance) were shared as Korea seeks ways to maintain the nation’s healthy human capital. Further, policy measures to build a social safety net for farmers and students in Korea were suggested by Korean speakers. |
