South Korean Scholar Predicts Worst People's Living in 2015
Pyongyang, December 31 (KCNA) -- South Korean internet paper Jaju Minbo on Dec. 27 posted an article titled "Worst people's living scenario in south Korean society in 2015" by Kwak Tong Gi, permanent researcher of the Uri Institute for Social Studies.

The article said:

Young people in south Korea have great difficulties in getting jobs.

Government employees are paid less pensions and big businesses' restructuring is depriving many workers of jobs and skyrocketing house rent is compelling young people to postpone their marriage for lack of money.

In the long run, the south Korean society is ridden with frequent suicides and people are under unbearable stress.

Those who attempted to commit suicide or thought of it reached hundreds of thousands. The case of suicide is expected to increase next year.

Everything will be totally denied in 2015 in the worst case, the article concluded.
