South Korea's unemployment rate to inch down 3.6% in January

Government efforts are likely to take effect.

South Korea’s unemployment rate are likely to inch down to 3.6% in January, Moody’s Analytics reported.

For the full year 2017, the country’s unemployment rate eased to 3.7% from 4% in the earlier months.

Meanwhile, youth employment reached a five-month high after mostly declining during the year, which rose to 9.5% in December.

“We expect the labour market to improve modestly in 2018 as government efforts to boost the labour market gain traction. Youth unemployment, in particular, should start to ease, at least a little as targeted government measures begin to take effect,” Moody’s said.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
