Korean Job Discussion Forums

Some people were dumbfounded as to why some E-2 visa holders filed human rights complaints about HIV/AIDS being required of only E-2 visa holders but I wonder whether one person who works for the National Jobless People�s Association understands human rights.

�Maybe it�s not so strange that so many suffer from depression and some choose to commit suicide in despair,� said Chu Duk-han, head of the National Jobless People�s Association. �The basic human rights of young jobseekers are often neglected. They have to overcome hardships as they experience a lot of rejection in the job-seeking process and at the same time must deal with financial difficulties.�

Is it a human right for young job-seekers to not face hardships, be rejected, and not have financial difficulties? I think all or most job-seekers face the same difficulties.

And is Mr. Chu somehow condoning suicide a tad in his first quote?

"Young jobseekers in dire straits"

"A bill to reform the current unemployment insurance system was proposed by Rep. Hong Young-pyo of the main opposition Democratic Party last March, but it�s still pending.
The government maintains a careful stance on the issue, saying there are many things to consider in order to offer unemployment compensation to non-insurance subscribers."

"Things to consider" Let's see...How much money can they get from English teachers who can never receive benefits $$$ ?
Maybe the "dire straits" of young Korean jobseekers is why some native English teachers are now having to pay into unemployment insurance -- the Korean government wants to pay every Korean Tom, Dick, and Harry(English teachers need not apply) money who have never had a job or paid into the system.
