The poor in Korea try to live in the basement. What is the root of the big gap between the rich and the poor in Korea?

The main reason for the large gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea is that polarization is too serious. The poor can only be poor forever, and they can never be rich in the upper class. Moreover, the influence of the rich is too great, which leads to unfair treatment of all classes. As early as the end of last century, South Korea adopted the "National Income Multiplication Plan", implemented drastic reforms in the economic field, and entered the ranks of developed countries by increasing national income and stimulating domestic consumption.

Although a series of countermeasures have been taken, the widening gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea has not been effectively improved. Recently, the Korea Statistics Office released the report "20 18 Survey of Family Trends in the Fourth Quarter", detailing the income of Koreans in the fourth quarter of last year.

The report is divided into five grades according to the income level, and the number of people in each grade accounts for 20% of the total number. From grade one to grade five, the income level increases in turn. The data shows that the disposable income of people in the first and second gears is declining, while the disposable income of people in the third, fourth and fifth gears is increasing, and the overall decline is greater than the growth rate, indicating that the gap between the rich and the poor in South Korea has further widened.

In order to solve the gap between the rich and the poor, South Korea is also actively looking for countermeasures. The next step is to take a series of measures, such as increasing the basic pension, expanding employment opportunities for the elderly, and increasing unemployment subsidies. At the same time, domestic public opinion in South Korea has also voiced the hope of fundamentally improving the gap between the rich and the poor. For example, we should find a prescription from the root of the problem, pay more attention to the problems faced by the self-employed and the working population with insufficient competitiveness, and put economic development, structural reform and improving the gap between the rich and the poor on a virtuous circle.
