Recently, a survey showed that 5 out of 100 young people are unable to get help because they have lost contact with people. According to a study by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs, the current status of isolated youth is 5.0% among 19 to 34 years old as of 2021. This is an increase of about 1.5% between 3.1% and 2 years in 2019. The social isolation of young people means that there is no interaction with others, and when there is a difficult situation, there is no one who can ask for help.

As a result, self-employed people declared their 20s of labor. In addition, for the past few years, as more and more customers stay in one place for longer periods of time, businesses ha
Tell us a few words about your appointment as September 1, 2023 and the role of the Vice-President of International Affairs.
