Young South Koreans have been dubbed the ‘N-Po generation’, forced to give up marriage, having children and more — thanks to job insecurity and high living costs. While they can only hope their sacrifices pay off, the future is not entirely bleak.
Visiting as a tourist with a strong passport is so much easier than actually inmigrating to another country, let alone one with a better living standard, considering SK is technically a first world country already. First, you need to be able to speak the language, then you need either the money to pay for school (if going as a student) or a job waiting for you that the destination country needs filled. You can’t just go and get whatever job you like, there are immigration restrictions on what jobs you can apply for, and the company must be willing to sponsor you. All of that costs a lot of money to top it all off.
