Abstract: This paper evaluates whether the introduction of one-stop centres – providing integrated public employment and welfare services – contributes to the employability of local residents in Korea. Exploiting a quasi-experimental assignment of one-stop centres across 162 municipalities, we apply a spatial difference-in-difference model using the Regional Employment Survey 2013–2017. Our findings reveal that the introduction of the centres has a positive impact on the local employment rate of female residents but not that of their male counterparts.
