As flexibility is key to labor reform, it must change the rigid 52-hour workweek more flexibly than before.
What is more urgent than the touted labor, pension and education reforms is fiscal reform.
The reform can succeed only when it has warm cause instead of a top-to-bottom approach.
President Yoon Suk-yeol stressed that reforms in three major areas — pensions, labor and education — were a "necessity, not an option" Thursday.
According to plans announced by the Employment and Labor Ministry on Thursday, one key proposed change is to allow employees to schedule overtime on a monthly basis rather than weekly.
