This study aims to empirically analyze the actual impact of the Regional and Industry Customized Job Creation Support Project on the local labor market, particularly during the recent four years (2020–2023), a peri od marked by expansion in both project scale and budget. The analysis evaluates the effectiveness of the program in terms of two dimensions: job creation and job retention. The findings offer insights for the future development of regional employment programs. In terms of job creation, female participants showed a higher employment inci dence rate than males, and individuals aged 40 and above had a higher employment incidence than those in their 30s. Among program types, the Employment Stability and Proactive Response Package (ESPRP) demonstrated a higher employment incidence than the Regional Innovation Program (RIP), though the job placement duration was longer in the ESPRP. Regarding job retention, women exhibited a higher incidence of resignation events and shorter retention periods compared to men. The likelihood of resignation increased with age, while the retention period was longest among those in their 20s. Both ESPRP and RIP displayed similar resignation rates and rela tively high retention. These findings underscore the need to identify the most responsive groups for employment retention support and to consider corresponding policy strategies.
