Industrial complexes have been the main engine of the nation’s economic development and play a major role in creating jobs based on manufacturing.

This study aims to analyze the association between the employment of industrial complexes with regional and industrial complex characteristics such as population characteristics, regional characteristics, and accessibility. First, we reviewed domestic and foreign studies related to determinants of employment in industrial complexes. Second, the industrial park’s employment factors were analyzed using the multiple regression analysis method in the local governments where industrial complexes are located across the country using the data from the industrial park.
