About 16,000 nonregular workers at 600 public institutions will be switched to full-time regular status starting next month, the labor ministry said Thursday.
The move represents the second stage of a three-stage plan that the government of President Moon Jae-in put together to switch nonregular workers in the public sector to regular status.
The government has already been carrying out the first-stage plan that calls for turning 116,000 nonregular workers at central government agencies, regional public corporations and provincial governments into regular workers.
