In 2017, the share of South Korean males Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) aged 15 to 29 was 24.4 percent. The overall share of NEETs in the younger generation of South Korea has risen in recent years. According to the source, taking on the role of being the primary breadwinner of a family was deeply ingrained in South Korean males. Coupled with other factors, this led to a higher tendency to search for a stable job in the labor market, which prolonged the period of job searching and eventually caused South Korean males to be more prone to becoming a NEET.
