Young People's Unemployment Gets Serious in S. Korea
Pyongyang, January 14 (KCNA) -- The issue of young people's unemployment is getting serious in south Korea, according to south Korean CBS.

According to the data released by the puppet Statistics Agency, the rate of people in their twenties participating in economic activities is just 60.1 percent, the worst level in history.
