Three out of ten so-called "rested" populations who do not do anything but do not look for work are young people between the ages of 25 and 34, and the number has increased by 86,000 in the past year.

According to a report released today by the Bank of Korea, the proportion of the economically inactive population of young people resting increased from 22.7% in the fourth quarter of last year to 29.5% in the third quarter of this year.

The number of young people rested increased from 336,000 in the third quarter of last year to 422,000 in the third quarter of this year, up 25.4% and 86,000 in a year.

Most of the recent increase in "rest" has been found in young people with employment experience, and many cases have left the labor market because they have "rested" after experiencing employment, rather than taking a break at all.

The Bank of Korea also diagnosed that among the young people who took a break, the number of voluntary breaks is increasing in trend, and analyzed that there are structural factors of "mismatch" that do not match the reality with the eye level for jobs.

In fact, the percentage of young people taking a break due to the difficulty of finding a job they want was 12.3%p higher than the core age group between 35 and 59.
