    The average workers got poorer while the corporations and their shareholders got richer.

    Nobody wants to spend their entire childhood working hard in school, just to work 9-6 for awful pay. You guys need to work less. You need freedom. I have worked 9-6 and 9-5 in Korea. That difference equates to 10.5 days of your life per year. I've saved 32 days in my life by not working that extra hour from 5-6 the past 3 years. It has done wonders.
    I've been able to focus on my health, goals, giving back to others, and hobbies. I ran 1,800km in 2024 and it only took me 162 hours. When I was 9-6 I only ran ~450km and I weighed about 12-15kg more than I do now. That extra hour at work equates to about ~250 hours per year. I could have run 3,000km in that time and still had time left over to do other things..
    People would rather not work than to work their lives away feeling it doesn't give them much of a chance to achieve a good lifestyle anyway.

    I have been traveling around Seoul in South Korea for two weeks and have seen many youth and elderly people in the streets, buses, trains, and dining area. I can't imagine seeing less youth around the streets of Korea in the future.

      The unfotrunate effect of improper governance. It's much worse for the smaller cities, in Korea, as everyone migrates to Seoul.

    There are too many ghost job vacancies and very-low-paying ones in the whole world. The plunging birth rates are required to reset the economy and wealth

    They give up, like young people in Japan. It's very hard to get a jop, all the competion is hard for them.

      I think it is hard to get a high paying job but just getting a regular job should not be too hard. However, the pay is low and the hours are high which is a big turn off everyone.

    Meanwhile Korean Government allows 230,000 foreigners to be imported to work in factories. Maybe, the companies who want to import foreigners could actually pay young people a living wage. Maybe giving a salary of 4 million/month would make Korean young people take those factory jobs. Maybe paying an actual livable salary would get young people comfortable to get married and have kids.... because right now they are not. I am a foreigner in Korea for 20 years.... my salary has not been raised in 10 years. Due to inflation, I am making less money than 10 years ago.

      Why would it when it can exploit and abuse and overwork foreign workers? The government is obviously in bed with all the biggest companies, is not that hard to understand

      This is global trend ….importing cheaper labour costs and marginalised the local youngsters to increase the survival ability of corporations or sme for their owners

      It is not just that but factory jobs or whatever jobs are not what young Koreans want to do. They are selective and the wages are low which demotivates them to want to work.

      Well you are a little off base. Koreans wont take those jobs, farming, building pianos and such in factories, nannycare.
      And well English teachers. So yea they dont want the pay or aren't qualified.

    Same as me, they only work when they are running out of money, and save every last penny while working.
