Expansion of Parental Leave & Enhanced Benefits

Against the backdrop of a record-low fertility rate, Korea in 2025 is accelerating legal reforms to encourage childbirth, support childrearing, and reshape workplace culture toward a better balance between work and family life.

🔍 Key highlights

✔️ Gradually shifts the mindset of “sacrificing family for work”
✔️ Lays the foundation for sustainable population growth and a resilient labor market

As the number of foreign workers in Korea continues to rise—particularly overseas workers and part-time employees—the minimum wage policy remains a key instrument for ensuring social protection and maintaining labor market stability.

Effective from 2026, Korea’s minimum wage has been officially increased by 2.9%, reflecting the Government’s efforts to balance economic recovery, worker protection, and the competitiveness of businesses. This adjustment not only improves income levels and quality of life for foreign workers, but also helps attract international talent, encourages international students to remain in Korea after graduation, and supplements the workforce in key industries.

⚖️ In the long term, the minimum wage adjustment demonstrates Korea’s clear policy direction:
👉 Protecting workers’ rights regardless of nationality
👉 Stabilizing the labor market amid population aging
👉 Laying the foundation for sustainable growth and higher productivity

⚖️ Legal basis: Viet Nam–Korea Free Trade Agreement (VKFTA)

As 2025 begins, Viet Nam–Korea trade and investment relations continue to deepen and mature, built on the foundation of a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and the solid legal framework of the VKFTA. A highly complementary trade structure, together with Korea’s FDI closely linked to Viet Nam’s manufacturing and export capacity, remains a key driver of bilateral growth.

📈 Amid global economic uncertainty, Viet Nam has emerged as a stable and long-term investment destination for Korean enterprises, particularly in high-tech industries, energy, semiconductors, AI, infrastructure, and innovation.

🔗 The 2025–2030 period is expected to mark a shift from cost-based cooperation toward technology-, knowledge-, and high value-added–driven collaboration, with the shared goal of achieving USD 150 billion in bilateral trade by 2030.
