Cabinet approves revised bill to encourage wage increases to address labor shortage in construction industry. In the construction industry, like the logistics industry, there are concerns about the ``2024 problem,'' in which the tightening of regulations on overtime work starting in April will exacerbate labor shortages.

The system sets standards for labor costs for people working at construction sites, such as carpenters and plasterers. If a construction company requests an estimate that is significantly lower than this, legal recommendations and the company's name will be made public.
