[20-29] Future Human Resource Development and Legislative Issues in Preparation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

This research was conducted under the collaboration between the policy research institute of the political party and the National Assembly Futures Institute. It was to seek the human resource development program that can actively prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is already upon us. The research collaborators shared various and in-depth ideas on “a lifelong learning social initiative based on innovative inclusive capabilities” through presentations and discussions. In addition to the capabilities that each learner should possess, they also suggested certain vision and goals of education that our society should pursue together. Furthermore, they put in efforts to manifest knowledge, skills, attitude and values necessary to develop competence.

Realization of a lifelong learning society is possible when it proposes ways to improve the law and the system along with the efforts to embody the vision and the goals. To this end, the fact that this research sought to revise laws related to school education, to vocational education and training, to health and welfare education can also be noted as one of the achievements of this collaboration. In the long run, this achievement can be appraised as even more future-oriented in that it will also contribute to laying the foundation for human resource development in the era of climate crisis/decarbonization and for job transfer policy.  

The results of this collaboration under the theme of “Future Human Resource Development and Legislative Issues in Preparation for the Fourth Industrial Revolution” will transcend politics and serve the role of an invaluable foundation that will enhance the policy capacity of the National Assembly and build better future for Korea. In the 21st century, the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Aging Revolution will determine our fate. The paradigm of our society will also fundamentally change. Hence, a new kind of future human resource development system is a must to cope with this new era. The results of the collaboration can hopefully provide a platform for discussion on ways to find the right path of future human resource development policy for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and for the better future strategy.
