Last month, the number of young adults categorized as 'rested' in South Korea rose by 35,000 from the previous year, totaling 469,000, marking the highest figure since January 2021. This phenomenon highlights the need for immediate customized policies that take into account the characteristics of age-specific patterns of young people who are not engaged in the labor market. A report by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training indicates that the demographic of 'rested' youth has expanded beyond the early 20s, now significantly affecting those in their late 20s. The researcher, Jung Ji-un, noted that the generational trauma from the pandemic has left lasting effects, particularly among those born in the late 1990s, who, even at age 29, maintain a high 'rested' rate due to the lingering impacts of economic crises and job failures.
