President Yoon Seok-yeol recently reaffirmed the three tasks of pension, labor and education reform through a national affairs meeting.
Most of the law needs to be changed through the National Assembly, but it is expected that it will not be easy to cross the threshold of the National Assembly because the political situation is tightly blocked, such as budget conflicts.

President Yoon Seok-yeol highlighted reform in the three main areas of education, work and retirement at a national affairs meeting on the 15th, saying that reform is not an option, but a necessity.
The three main tasks underlined since the beginning of my inauguration can be summarized as work flexibility, improvement of educational competitiveness and sustainable retirement.

President Yoon stressed that it must be done, but the variable is the political situation of the government and opposition parties.
This is because most of them are legislative or statutory amendments and it is difficult to pass the National Assembly without the cooperation of the opposition party.
However, as seen in the recent conflict between the two parties over the budget law, the government and opposition parties are in a position to not adequately manage the country even for a year, let alone cooperate.
Furthermore, the confrontation between the opposition parties is becoming increasingly bitter as the blades of circumstances affecting the opposition party and the former government continue, from the investigations into Lee Jae-myung, the representative of the Democratic Party, to the investigation into the suspicion of distortion of statistics by the inspection and control commission.

In fact, regarding President Yoon’s three major reform tasks, the ruling party urged the opposition party to participate, saying that the reforms must be completed through the law.

Rather, the Democratic Party has emphasized that its own reforms that have left out the opposition party and the people were a hollow illusion and should have started with communication and governance.

President Yoon expressed a strong will to promote the “three tasks of reform”, saying that politics and the economy would be ruined if the reforms were not implemented.
In the end, how the relationship with the Democratic Party, which occupies the majority of seats, should be the biggest variable, and the prevailing opinion is that difficulties will be inevitable since the political situation is as convoluted as it is.
