The first official survey looking into the lives of the 2030 generations living in Seoul has been published.



There were 2.86 million people in their 20s and 30s living in Seoul, or 30.1% of the total population of Seoul, and there were about 60,000 more women than men.




However, the proportion of people in their 20s and 30s has been gradually decreasing over the past seven years, and one in two people who left Seoul last year was in their 20s and 30s.




Among the 25 autonomous districts in Seoul, Gwanak-gu has the highest percentage of households in their 20s and 30s, accounting for 4 out of 10 people.



It was followed by Gwangjin-gu (34.2%) and Yeongdeungpo-gu (34.0%), and Yangcheon-gu (25.3%) had the lowest percentage in 2030.



Proximity to the job site or house price seems to have had an effect. Seven out of 10 people said that they use public transportation to commute to school, and the average time required was about 41 minutes.




In particular, more than half of them commuting to and from other cities/provinces or districts were found to be commuting to and from school.




The wage level was the same for men and women in their 20s, but the gender wage gap widens from their 30s.



They answered that they mostly spend their leisure time doing indoor activities such as watching videos, playing games, and the Internet. Is this because?

Among the stressors of the 2030 generation, interpersonal relationships were the highest at 23%.



22.7% of financial status, and excessive work and learning amount were ranked next.



It showed a difference in perception from those in their 40s, who pointed out 'health' as ​​the biggest stressor, and it was found that they felt 'unfair' than those in their 40s or older in all items such as education, job opportunities, and law enforcement.



The Seoul Survey has been conducted every year since 2003, but this is the first time that it has focused on the 2030 generation.



The Seoul Metropolitan Government plans to use it as a basic data for policy preparation for 2030 generations, such as improving the proximity to work, revitalizing leisure, and improving the remuneration system for women.



Details of the '2021 Seoul Survey' can be found at the Seoul Open Data Plaza (data.seoul.go.kr).
