In return for wage increases demanded by workers, companies used to give other allowances or welfare benefits.

– For that reason, the wage system became complicated and also management costs
increased. The allowances became fixed payments no longer reflecting the workers’
performances.
To solve this problem, it should be settled between the labor and management themselves. However, administrative support is also given by the government.
– If possible, the various allowances should be included in the basic wage, so that only
the allowances reflecting the performance of the worker are retained.
The government is making efforts to expand social welfare, especially for small-medium enterprises that have a relatively weak welfare system compared to large conglomerates, and for low-wage workers. The welfare includes scholarships, financial support for medical expenses and condolences / congratulations among others.
