Quick Glance: 'Politics That Fail': South Korea's Youth Disillusioned with Government
- Outnumbered by older voters and under-represented in parliament, South Korea's young say the political system is failing them, urging them to vote in Wednesday's election.
- The election to select the National Assembly's 300 lawmakers will mark the first time in South Korean history where voters aged 60 and older will outnumber those in their twenties and thirties.
- Politics is predominantly controlled by older men, with male MPs above 50 comprising over 75 percent of the current National Assembly. Only 5.6 percent of candidates for Wednesday's election are under 40.
- Experts attribute the low voter turnout among young people to growing dissatisfaction, as the younger generation in South Korea faces tough competition in education, limited job prospects, and exorbitant housing costs. Suicide is a prevalent cause of death for Koreans aged 10 to 39.
