Annual Report 2013 expressed its opinion on the drafts to the Speaker of the National Assembly. The Commission's opinion included the following points. First, it is advisable to restrict the submission of information on the education, occupation, and properties of the applicant as they may cause discrimination in the process of recruitment and employment. Second, it is desirable to include education in the list of discrimination prohibition items considering the fact that educationalism causes such undesirable side effects as excessive wage disparity, unemployment of the highly educated, and imbalance in demand and supply of human resources due to inflationary education. In addition, the Commission expressed its opinion that the use of the capacity based application form made by the Ministry of Employment and Labor should be encouraged to address the undesirable practice of collecting personal information which is irrelevant to job performance. As to the establishment of punishment provisions against recruitment discrimination in the Framework Act on Employment Policy, the Commission stated that such an establishment should be reconsidered citing the following reasons: as individual statutes have their own punishment provisions against the discrimination of reasons such as age, gender, and disability, new provisions against discrimination will cause the decrease in the effectiveness of remedy and confusion due to the duplication of remedial procedures, and the increase of confliction resolution cost. 70 ▪▪▪ Part II.
