About this page

This page outlines the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's efforts to improve treatment of skilled workers in the construction industry. The decline in construction investment has intensified dumping bids, reducing worker wages and discouraging youth entry while aging accelerates. The primary reasons young people avoid construction are wages 26% below national average and lack of mandatory social insurance coverage. Since fiscal 2012, the ministry has comprehensively promoted social insurance enrollment and set public works design wages, achieving a 15.1% national average increase. The minister directly requested industry leaders to ensure appropriate wage levels and insurance compliance, with follow-up meetings confirming ongoing collaborative efforts.
