Evidence snapshot for South Korea
South Korea has implemented multiple evidence-based programmes addressing digital inclusion, public sector equity, elderly care, and fiscal governance. Digital Baeumteo trained 793,000 people in 2022 across 1,000+ community centres, targeting older adults and vulnerable populations, while female representation in Grade-4-plus civil service roles rose from 15.6% to 30.8% between 2018 and 2023. Clova CareCall, an AI phone service for isolated elderly, showed a 44.2% reduction in solitary deaths in participating municipalities, and dBrain+ integrates AI across 63 government systems for real-time fiscal risk assessment. These practices are documented as descriptive or observational studies; the evidence does not quantify broader economic or societal outcomes beyond these specific programmes.
