21세기 노동의 귀환 / The Return of Labor in the 21st Century

The Return of Labor in the 21st Century examines the contemporary crisis of labor in South Korea amid growing polarization between regular and irregular workers, large and small firms, and generations. Cho argues that anti-labor government policies and the collapse of social dialogue have intensified this crisis. The book calls for a rethinking and mainstreaming of the labor movement through new language, strategies, and visions. It presents labor not as a declining force, but as a key actor poised for renewed relevance in the 21st century.
