This paper examines the current system of job-creation support system at local level in Korea, using an analytical framework for comparative analysis, and attempts to put forward suggestions to make it more effective and efficient. For this purpose, it reviews the existing literature regarding job-creation, analyzes them with a critical perspective, and constructs an analytical framework which can be utilized to compare Korea and major OECD countries, especially in terms of job-creation support system. The analysis concludes that local government should introduce 'job-creation impact analysis system' by which all projects can be scrutinized and analyzed prior to final authorization in the perspective of whether each project can create any ancillary job, and whether how many it can. It also suggests that both central and local government need to pay attention to foreign direct investment in order to create jobs.
