South Korea will offer a transportation subsidy for young workers in remote industrial areas to encourage small and medium-size companies to employ them, the industry ministry said Thursday.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said it will monthly provide 50,000 won ($46.4) for workers aged between 15 and 34 employed by small companies to work in areas that lack adequate public transit service.
Those who are qualified for the program will be available for the subsidy that can be used for bus, subway and taxi fares, as well as fuel for cars, starting from July.
