The number of economically inactive youth in South Korea is surging, exacerbating economic and societal risks as many voluntarily opt out of the workforce. This trend signals deeper challenges in the country\u2019s labor market, education system and corporate culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>Statistics Korea<\/span><\/a>, the number of youths aged 15 to 29 choosing not to seek employment has reached 400,000. Of this group, a staggering <\/span>75%<\/span><\/a> have no immediate plans to find work, while more than 260,000 individuals in their 30s are in a similar situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

These figures resemble the peak of the early pandemic years when over 440,000 young people voluntarily chose to leave the workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n

The situation is more complex than the numbers suggest, as many of these economically inactive individuals do not suffer from serious illnesses or disabilities. For a growing number, this \u201cresting\u201d phase has become indefinite.<\/span><\/p>\n

EMPLOYMENT MISMATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

A key driver behind the growing number of inactive youths is dissatisfaction with the jobs available. Among the 400,000 young people classified as resting, 42.9% <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> they could not find jobs that met their salary expectations. Another 18.7% cited a lack of available positions, while 13.4% stated they felt they lacked the qualifications for the jobs that are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

This dissatisfaction has led to a strong preference for jobs at large corporations. According to a <\/span>survey<\/span><\/a> by the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry, 64% of youth expressed a preference for employment at large companies, followed by 44% at public institutions and 36% at mid-sized firms.<\/span><\/p>\n

For many, the allure of large corporations lies in perceived opportunities for better career growth and benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSocial media has made it much easier for prospective employees to compare wages and the different kinds of work culture that businesses pursue. And larger companies are better in almost every metric,\u201d Kwon Ki-suk, a former employee at an IT start-up firm, told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to work for a larger company, too,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

While it takes <\/span>almost a year<\/span><\/a> for college graduates to secure their first job, according to the Korea Association of Governance Studies, the preference for large corporations often leads to <\/span>extended periods of job searching<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, some young people are willing to wait.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, I feel anxious being unemployed. And I know that I am hardly the only one submitting resumes to the big firms. But I\u2019m willing to wait until I get the right job. It\u2019s important to get the right job. It can determine the rest of your professional life,\u201d Kwon said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond personal preferences, a significant factor behind an increasing number of young people applying for jobs in large corporations is the high turnover rate at small and medium-sized enterprises.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> from KBS Hankook Research found that small companies experience a turnover rate of 61.5%, compared to just 8% at large corporations.<\/span><\/p>\n

EDUCATION-JOB SKILLS MISMATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

Another critical issue contributing to youth economic inactivity is the disconnect between education and the skills demanded by the job market. Many companies <\/span>prefer experienced candidates<\/span><\/a>, leaving young graduates struggling to find entry-level positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, more young people are turning to private career skills programs, though these often come with financial burdens and <\/span>no guarantee of employment<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>study<\/span><\/a> published by the Korean Society for the Economics and Finance of Education revealed that the South Korean education system is not adequately preparing graduates for the job market. While those who have acquired master\u2019s degrees have an easier time finding employment, those who do not often face job dissatisfaction and tend to express a heightened willingness to change jobs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t feel that my education has given me the skills I require to be successful at work,\u201d Lim Ji-na, a woman in her 20s who used to work for a marketing firm, told <\/span>Korea Pro<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe there should be more government-funded mentoring programs that help job seekers find positions that align with their backgrounds, interests and educational levels, which are realistically attainable,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SOCIAL ISOLATION RISKS<\/b><\/p>\n

Extended periods of economic inactivity can lead to more than just financial insecurity \u2014 many young people also face social isolation as a result of prolonged unemployment.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>study<\/span><\/a> by the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study found that 540,000 South Korean youths are at risk of social isolation, with over 70% of those affected being in their late twenties to early thirties \u2014 a critical period for establishing careers and social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The link between long-term unemployment and social isolation is clear: remaining out of the workforce for an extended period of time not only delays career progression but also erodes social connections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many young people report feelings of anxiety, shame, and even fear when they fail to re-enter the workforce. \u201cAfter months of resting, I\u2019ve become increasingly anxious about falling behind. Having quit my job, I\u2019m now afraid to meet my former co-workers,” said Lim.<\/span><\/p>\n

This sense of disconnection can spiral, as those who are economically inactive for extended periods often feel alienated from their peers who are progressing in their careers. This, in turn, deepens their reluctance to re-enter the workforce, creating a vicious cycle of inactivity and isolation.<\/span><\/p>\n

A <\/span>joint report<\/span><\/a> from several South Korean ministries found that the COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated these challenges, reducing resilience among youth already struggling with academic and employment competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, negative work cultures in some sectors can exacerbate social isolation. A Korea Labor Institute <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> highlighted widespread issues such as physical violence, verbal abuse and harassment, which drive many young people to quit their jobs and, in some cases, withdraw from social engagement altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

GOVERNMENT ACTION<\/b><\/p>\n

The South Korean government has recognized the issue and <\/span>introduced policies<\/span><\/a> aimed at helping young people transition into the workforce. These include career experience programs, psychological support services, and incentives for completing career training programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, challenges remain. Despite these initiatives, many young people continue to <\/span>view<\/span><\/a> small companies as unattractive due to what they perceive to be low salaries and poor working conditions. Many <\/span>argue<\/span><\/a> that substantial regulatory and labor reforms will be required to increase the number of quality jobs available, particularly in smaller firms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further, South Korean labor unions have <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a> that the divide between stable, well-paying jobs in large companies and less secure, lower-paying positions in smaller firms has been persistent. Unless it is addressed, the trend of young people deliberately choosing to leave the workforce could worsen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The government\u2019s efforts to improve career opportunities and work conditions are steps in the right direction, but the deeper issues of employment mismatch, toxic work environments and social isolation require long-term, systemic change.<\/span><\/p>\n

As more young people opt out of the workforce, the risks to both the economy and society will only increase.<\/span><\/p>\n
