Koreas. As soon as the investigation team revealed that Cheonan was sunk by North Korea, President Lee implemented countermeasures called the May 24 Measures. The South Korean government suspended all inter-Korean exchanges and cooperation with the North except the business operation in the Gaeseong Industrial Complex and the pure humanitarian aid for the underprivileged people in North Korea. On 23 November 2010, North Korean forces fired around 170 artillery shells and rockets at South Korea's Yeonpyeongdo Island, near the inter-Korean maritime border, hitting both military and civilian targets. Two South Korean soldiers were killed, 15 were wounded and two civilians died. The shelling also caused widespread damage on the island. The incident caused a further escalation of tension on the Korean Peninsula and prompted widespread international condemnation of the North's actions. The United Nations declared it to be one of the most serious incidents since the end of the Korean War.

 

The employment structure of South Korea has undergone remarkable changes since the beginning of industrialization in the early 1960s. In 1963, workers in the agricultural, forestry and fishery sectors accounted for 63% of the total labor force. However, this figure dropped to 6.6% in 2010. By contrast, the share of the tertiary industry (service sectors) grew from 28.3% of employed people in 1963 to 76.4% in 2010.

 

Also, in response to growing demands for lifelong competency development, the government has gradually expanded investment in vocational training. Reacting to the trend of low fertility rates and an aging labor force, various measures have been implemented to increase the employment rate of women. They include such measures as reducing discrimination in employment and supporting the compatibility between work and family life as well as tackling the problem of career breaks caused by pregnancy and childbirth. A variety of other measures have been implemented to expand and stabilize employment of the elderly, such as extending the retirement age, reforming wage systems and reducing discrimination based on age.

 

Housing

 

As in other countries, industrialization in Korea proceeded in parallel with urbanization. In 1960, only 27.7% of Korea's population lived in cities. In 2000, 88.3% of Korea's population were urban dwellers. But this trend has receded, and 81.5% of Korea's population lived in cities in 2005.  This rapid population growth in urban areas led to a housing shortage and spiraling land prices in cities. In order to solve the housing shortage and stabilize housing costs, increasing the supply of land available for residential construction and the building of small housing units have been among the top priorities of the government.

 

To this end, it will ease regulations on redevelopment and rebuilding. The plan to supply 'Bogeumjari' housing established in 2008 will also be implemented to provide 1.5 million units by 20本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
