Episode Description:
Your bonus formula, your minimum wage floor, and your credit score are all being rewritten at once.
Fifteen Nobel laureates joined 200 experts warning that AI gives economies only a few years to adapt. At home, the fight over tying union bonuses to operating profit — 10% at SK hynix, a 15% demand at Samsung — reached a government forum, where scholars proposed net income as the fairer base. Next year's minimum wage will rise at least 2.2% from 10,320 won ($7.40) an hour, regional SME hires may get deeper income-tax cuts plus tax-free relocation allowances up to 500,000 won ($360) a month, and a new credit model scores young thin-filers by their spending patterns.
