Stress realities in South Korea
In South Korea, the constant pace of modern life and societal expectations contribute to elevated stress levels. The competitive education system, work culture, and social pressures create a challenging environment for many Koreans. According to a survey, approximately 36 percent of students reported feeling stressed in school. College students appeared to experience higher stress levels than individuals at other educational levels. Concerning work life, over half of the respondents noted experiencing stress in their workplaces. While overall stress levels have decreased in recent years, the findings indicate that women tend to feel more stress than men.
