Fourth, open the labor market and encourage its internationalization in order to ensure that all workers, knowledge-based and others, have an opportunity to move in international markets and to ensure that full utilization is made of our human resources.
Fifth, encourage the popularization of Internet-based instruction to provide the entire working population with an opportunity to acquire new knowledge.
Sixth, establish a full spectrum of professional certification and licensing for knowledge-based jobs so that workers can take advantage of all the educational opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills that they will need.
Seventh, revise the current labor laws so that they suit the requirements of a knowledge-based economy.
Eighth, set up a tripartite system for unions, management and government to negotiate programs that can safeguard the employment opportunities and working conditions of non-knowledge workers as well as their working conditions.
Joseph S. Lee is president of the Institute of Knowledge Economy and Management.
