Tuesday with a friendly economy, Kwon Ai. Kwon, recently, our job situation has improved. no. Sometimes it is often confusing and confusing. When you look at these employment indicators, you have overlooked one important fact so far. Do you have a point like this?

<Reporter>

Yes, there are a lot of indicators that you can look at when evaluating the employment situation. Monthly statistics are available.

'This is the number of employed workers compared to a year ago. " That's it. In particular, the fact that the back of our economy has become poor recently has been quoted a lot, saying that the number of people in their 30s and 40s has decreased.

In fact, at the end of last year, the number of people in their 30s decreased by over 100,000. The number of people in their 40s decreased by 135,000. The greatest decline since 2000 was.

It seems like a very big day is happening. I get the impression that 250,000 people lost their jobs in their 30s and 40s in a year.

However, comparing such a simple increase in the number of employed and shrinking does not reflect the situation properly. A recent report from researchers at the Institute of Finance raised this issue.

In other words, when we talk about the number of people by age group, we can grasp the situation without looking at how much the population of this age group has increased and decreased.

As Korea's aging population is declining in its 30s and 40s, it is obvious that the number of people aged at this age is decreasing.

So, actually, the employment situation in the 30s and 40s improved. Do you mean you have to look like that?

<Reporter>

It is hard to talk about it. I'll tell you that again, but this number has increased by this age group. Based on this fact, it is clear that there is a considerable amount of optical illusion in assessing the employment situation.

Looking back at the number of people in their 40s at the end of last year, the number of people aged 41 to 49 increased by 6,000. By the end of 2017, these people were in their forties.

By the end of the year, the 49 - year - olds were 50 years old at the end of last year. I was tied up with 50 workers. On the other hand, there were 556,000 new employees who became 40 years old. If you look at the difference is about 140,000 people.

For reference, I look at this age population. The number of people newly turned 50 is close to one million. The 40-year-olds are about 750,000 in total.

40 years old are fewer than 50 year olds. We can see that there are fewer employed people. The change in the number of employees in their 30s had similar problems.

Now all of our baby boomers are in their 50s or older and the fewer they go down, the fewer they are.

So the Financial Supervisory Service said that it will analyze the employment increase and decrease indicators with the so-called 'age frame effect'.

The number of unemployed people who do not take into account the changes in the demographic structure decided to make this change because of the fear that the employment situation would be greatly misunderstood.

<Anchor>

Yes, I think I should look into it, but what can I do to better judge the job situation?

<Reporter>

It's a bit complicated, but it's a good idea to look at high-quality jobs for the first time. If young private jobs are not reduced, "Oh, things are not bad."

And by age group, looking at the employment rate by age group is more accurate than the number of simple employees. Considering this, in May, the total employment rate was the highest ever since statistics were released, and the unemployment rate is the highest in May. I do not know what it is.

The most employment rate is 60 or more, especially 65 years or older. The employment rate in their 40s has dropped. There is no change in 30s.

By industry, manufacturing jobs, which can be said to be the backbone of the private employment market, are decreasing for 14 months. Significant increases were in the healthcare, social services, and arts and sports sectors.

Libraries, and museums. In a nutshell, there is an increase in the number of elderly people who are politically prepared. It is hard to see that high quality private jobs have increased.

What stands out here is that the overall employment rate is the highest ever. However, the Financial Research Institute pointed out one more thing about the population, that in the aging society, the overall employment rate gradually decreased.

It will be because people do not do much economic activity in older aged people. By the way, in Korea in May, the employment rate of the elderly people has increased so much, so the overall employment rate has increased.

In a word, looking at the employment rate, not the number of employed, the situation at the waist is not good. It is hard to see that high quality jobs are increasing. I can say that. However, it is not meaningful that the number of unemployed people is the highest in May. Here, too, population structure emerges.

The total population over 15 is still growing, so some unemployed people feel. Last month, unemployed in their 60s increased by 43%. I do not mean that the 60s are so serious.

As the elderly finance jobs increase, the number of elderly people who are caught up in the job market has increased. So you do not have to be so surprised at the number of unemployed people. I would like to say this.
