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.

Exclusive: Poland focusing on EU recovery grants, law change to ramp up investments
reuters.com/world/europe/poland-focusing-eu-recovery-grants-law-change-ramp-up-investments-2024-04-15/
Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments
- With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.
- Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.
- To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.
- However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.
