My Korea
I have a Korean Friend who worked in Istanbul as an intern in 2014. I met him in Korea in 2013. We worked together for KITA(Korea International Trade Association) as student marketers. I went to Istanbul as an exchange student and he went as an intern. What a coincidence! We hung out there together sometimes. After a while he went back to Korea and graduated from his university.
He is two years older than I am and he is looking for a job in Korea at the moment. However, since it is becoming extremely difficult to find a job in Korea as time goes on, he has been unemployed since last January. I personally think he has the right qualifications to find a nice job, but he is having trouble finding one.
This is not only a problem for him but for most young Koreans. Nowadays, the unemployment rate in Korea is rapidly increasing. Politicians always say: "There are a lot of job opportunities, but the young generation only want to have a decent job, they are lazy". They seem to blame us by saying that. However, the young generation thinks differently. The working environment, wages and many other aspects are very poor in small companies in comparison to large ones.
It is becoming a huge problem and the Korean government expects it to last for the next 5 years. I am a bit worried as well, but I will try to figure it out myself somehow.
