According to data submitted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor to the office of Kim Wi-sang, a lawmaker from the People Power Party, on the 19th, the number of foreign workers enrolled in employment insurance increased from 177,224 in 2021 to 458,644 in 2025, a 2.6-fold increase in just four years, and as of the end of July this year, it reached 473,593, marking a record high. Along with the increase in employment insurance subscribers, the number of unemployment benefit recipients also rose to 16,789 during the same period, and last year, foreign unemployment benefits About 79% of the benefits were concentrated among ethnic Koreans in China and Chinese nationals. Last year, the amount of unemployment benefits paid was 73.847 billion won (10,756 people) for Chinese Koreans and 15.636 billion won (2,327 people) for Chinese nationals, with a total of 89.482 billion won paid, accounting for 78.9% of the total foreign unemployment benefits paid of 113.399 billion won. This is because the large population of Koreans entering the labor market after staying in Korea for a long time is also significant, This is also interpreted as related to the structure that allows workers with long-term residence status, such as permanent residents and overseas Koreans, to enroll in employment insurance. There are calls for the government to break down the actual employment insecurity caused by their aging and long-term stays and to develop customized reemployment and employment stability measures. ,,, National Pension is the highest, and they receive the highest salary benefits,,, Korea is ,,, there's a reason they keep coming to Korea!!!!!
