The Review of The Presentation on Unemployment of Young People

. I see quite many of my friends around me have a difficulty finding jobs. And I hear from them how tough it is to get a good job. I remember I have once read a newspaper article saying there are few good human resources from the view of companies. What does that mean? Are there no good young men and women to work in spite that there outside is a long, long line of youngsters, ready to rush into the employment market even at this very moment? There seems to be no other answer but yes to explain this current situation. It would be safe to say that that article shows a gap between young people and companies in Korea. And the gap accounts for some of the reasons why the current job market is so terrible.

. Almost every young man and woman look forward to finding a good job, and companies, competent young men and women. But they can not easily meet each other. One of the reasons is here, just as the presenters explained in their presentation; unemployed youngsters have higher standard beyond their ability for their future companies. So they try to enter the 'good' companies which would guarantee the stable salary and comfortable work environment for them. But the problem is that the companies also require the applicants' skill and experience as much as possible and the people they want usually apply for the other 'better' companies. They have a difficulty finding a good human resource, either.

. So, we can think of some simple solution according to the logical flow. It is to narrow this gap between employers and unemployed people. Universities should focus not only on what they want from their students, but also on what the employers outside require of their future employees. And the educational organizations including universities need to offer more detailed and fresh information on real job market situation so that students might be able to have more realistic view and goal and prepare according to them. Furthermore, if the medium-sized companies advertise themselves to young people more actively that they have vision and are improving work-environment, there would be more possibility for the young competent people to apply for the companies. Plus, if the government's aid is added, the situation will get better and better.
