Dear support team, I am currently conducting a research project on the impact of artificial intelligence on the global labor market. For this purpose, I am exploring the possibility of using labor force survey data from different countries. I am wondering whether the underlying microdata (ideally at the individual level) of SFLC might be accessible for research purposes. If such data are available, I would be very grateful for any guidance you could provide regarding access procedures or relevant contacts. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I truly appreciate any help you may be able to offer.

Dear Hongchi, Thank you for visiting the KOSIS website. Basically, statistical users are allowed to make access to microdata after signing up the website of the MDIS (https://mdis.mdis.go.kr). In the meantime, foreigners may encounter some limitations owing to restrictions in signing up the website of the Ministry of Data and Statistics with ONE-ID. Currently, foreigners should meet the following conditions to sign up the MDIS website. * Foreigners with a residence card who reside in Korea * Overseas Koreans (who reside overseas) with a Korean nationality Otherwise, your access to microdata is not permitted. Your further inquiry is always welcomed. Warm wishes, Ministry of Data and Statistics
