Question: While this is a global issue, the challenge of employment for young people is particularly serious in Korea as well. As a parent, I often advise my children to consider stable careers, such as civil service or public sector jobs, even though I know this may not be the ideal or definitive answer. In order to help young people choose a future in which they can find both stability and happiness, how should parents thoughtfully guide and support their children as they make these important decisions?

You might appreciate that it is impossible to give a general answer to such a question because it very much depends on the abilities and the psychology and the desires of the child. Some children have a psychology where they want stability and security in their lives. Then they should seek towards civil service jobs or public sector jobs that are generally more stable. Other children have a desire for self-expression, a desire to grow, a desire to make money, and they should naturally seek into the private sector. Even though it is more risk based, there is also more opportunity, as not as much of a ceiling on their potential income.
Truly, it is an individual matter but what you can do when this is a concern for you is make the calls that your government will do what a democratic government should do and the same applies to most nations where youth employment is becoming a growing problem. It is that they should provide better employment opportunities for young people. This is what a democratic government has leverage to do by stimulating the economy in various ways. You cannot expect the companies to do it because they are still trapped in the mindset that the best way to increase profits is to cut cost. In the more long run, you can certainly make calls and hold a vision that there is a shift, and this process will be accelerated by AI, but there is a shift where people are not seen as a liability for businesses or as an expense for businesses, but people and their welfare is seen as the very purpose for a business. This requires a shift where businesses are not owned primarily by the elite who are seeking to funnel wealth up to their hands by maximizing profits. Instead, they are owned by people, by the employees who are seeking to provide a service to life and give all of the people who are working for the business a better life, improving the life of the many versus improving the life of the few. This is the wave of the future.
