This field visit was organized to assess the working conditions of daily construction workers who gather early in the morning in search of jobs and to directly hear about the difficulties they face on site. The city plans to review the concerns collected from workers during the visit and reflect them in future job support policies.

Through the "Ordinance on Promoting the Vitalization of the Uijeongbu Regional Construction Industry," the city actively encourages the use of at least 50% local construction equipment and workforce when granting permits for private construction projects.

Additionally, based on the "Ordinance on the Preferential Employment of Local Construction Workers and the Operation of Public Construction Projects Without Delayed Wages in Uijeongbu City," the city promotes ▲ preferential hiring of local workers ▲ job matching services ▲ and the incorporation of new technologies and patents held by local businesses into project designs.

With 99 employment agencies operating within the city, Uijeongbu plans to continue identifying effective support measures through on-site, field-oriented communication.

An official from Uijeongbu City stated, "We will strive to incorporate the feedback heard on site into our policies to further invigorate the local construction industry."
