Wealth gap, largest wage disparity, all time high unemployment rate since the late '90s financial crisis, homelessness that primarily affects the Korean elderly, sexism, violence against women, highest suicide among OECD countries... SK is more than just its glittery veneer. #lrt
Seriously, check the gender wage gap. South Korean women earn 30+% lesser than South Korean men for doing the same job and the gap only gets wider every year. The pandemic made it worse for women as they are primarily the ones that lost their jobs due to it or if they managed to-
-keep their jobs, most female blue-collar workers have to take wage cuts when their male counterparts don't because of the division of labor. This isn't unique to SK, this happens in other countries too but being at the top of the list plus how it's not really shown in the media?
