60% of Korean youth feel they can't get a 'good job' even after 10 years of effort

A significant majority of South Korean youth feel their career aspirations are out of reach, even after years of dedicated effort. A recent survey reveals that 60% of young people believe they cannot obtain a "good job" despite a decade of striving.

This sentiment underscores a deep-seated concern among the nation's youth regarding their future employment prospects. The term "good job" typically implies stable, well-paying positions with opportunities for advancement, often within established companies or public sector roles.

The findings suggest a growing disconnect between the aspirations of young South Koreans and the realities of the job market. Factors such as intense competition, the rise of automation, and evolving industry demands may be contributing to this widespread feeling of disillusionment.

This widespread anxiety about career attainment reflects broader societal pressures and economic challenges faced by young people in South Korea, impacting their outlook on economic stability and social mobility.
