It is reported that more than 8 out of 10 young people in Korea live with their parents. According to a recent report published by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) titled 'Inclusive and Sustainable Well-being in Korea,' as of 2020, 81% of Koreans aged 20~29 lived with their parents, the highest among OECD member countries. Young people struggling to secure jobs, income, and housing are becoming 'kangaroo tribe' instead of becoming independent . This is an analysis that they are staying behind. In fact, among young people aged 15 to 29, the number of employed people continues to decline, and as more young people struggle to secure stable jobs or income, their economic independence is declining . This is interpreted as the reason. Housing costs are also a significant burden; the average monthly rent for a row house or multi-family studio apartment with a dedicated area of 33㎡ or less in Seoul, contracted last March, was 710,000 won (based on a 10 million won deposit). Ultimately, solving the kangaroo tribe problem is difficult to consider without considering job opportunities, but an environment must be created where young people can manage their income through quality jobs. Then, after getting a job, the kangaroo tribe issue will be somewhat resolved. However,,, fundamentally, aside from housing costs, saving money is not easy,,, so eventually you will end up living with your parents!!
