Prolonged youth seclusion, coupled with aging parents, growing concerns about the '8050 problem'

According to a report by the Korea Economic Association and the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, as of 2024, the number of secluded youth is 537,800, accounting for 5.2% of the total youth population, more than double compared to 2022. The period of isolation also became longer, with the proportion of those in seclusion for more than 7 years rising from 4.0% to 6.0%. Experts diagnosed that the expansion of experienced and rolling recruitment in the labor market and the introduction of AI have made it difficult to find employment, and a vicious cycle is repeating itself due to the lack of sustainable jobs. In particular, concerns are raised that the crisis could expand into a livelihood and care crisis for the entire family, similar to the Japanese '8050 problem', coupled with the aging of the parents' generation, and it is pointed out that all-round policy support, including expansion of the scope of youth, is needed.
