Bilateral labor flows into Korea are highly uneven in their distribution among countries, so improvement with major labor cooperation partners can have disproportionate effects on overall foreign labor outcomes. In addition, this will also help diversify the labor flows from the origin countries, which is another important recommendation this study makes. The reliance on a limited number of origin countries can lead to an inflexible policy environment with adverse implications for bilateral labor cooperation. Second, Korea needs to pay more attention to high-skilled workers from Southeast Asia. Considering fierce global competition for talent, Korea is most likely to secure highly-skilled migrant workers in the form of foreign students. The close relationship between Korea and Southeast Asia should work as an advantage, and Korea could design scholarship and employment programs for Southeast Asian graduate students based on a brain return platform where after a period of employment in Korea they should return home to contribute to the development of human resources in origin countries. Attracting foreign talent and graduate students from Southeast Asia needs to focus on countries with relatively good math and science education, such as Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam
