Singles feel they are surplus to society, survey showsWhile many single Koreans in their 20s and 30s regard themselves as being adventurous and having strong characters, many feel they are “surplus to requirements.” A Seoul Foundation of Women and Family survey of 1,036 single men and women in Seoul aged 20-39 showed that 71.1 percent believed they had strong personalities. A total of 58.5 percent said they were big spenders compared to their incomes, and 58.5 percent said they had a strong interest in politics. Based on multiple selections, 41.8 percent said they tended to be adventurous and independent. On the other hand, 26 percent said they felt as if they were part of a surplus generation, with nothing productive to give back to society. “Many of them appeared to be disappointed about their inability to get decent jobs,” a foundation official said. Asked about their main concerns, 35.5 percent cited finding the right path in life, while 30.7 percent came with generating a reasonable income. Asked about employment prospects, 33.8 percent cited a shortage of decent jobs, while 15.9 percent said there was a lack of opportunities for self-development. |
