Purpose of Research
○This study aims to analyze the impacts of demographic changes on the food market and to propose strategic policy responses. In the first year (2024), the research focused on the implications of demographic change and related policy tasks from the perspective of food consumption, while in the second year (2025), it examined the effects of demographic change on the food market from the production perspective. To this end, the study reviewed the current and projected supply and demand of labor in the food industry under demographic changes, identified key challenges through an analysis of the food industry’s workforce (manufacturing and foodservice sectors) and industry perception surveys, and evaluated current labor policies and support programs. The findings from both years were integrated to suggest strategies for the food industry in the face of demographic shifts.
