Economic Inequality and Risks: Realizations from Youth

1. Youth and Challenges in Civil Movements

Told from the perspective of a 30s office worker.
In my early twenties, I was also a civil activist hoping for funerals.
Back then, the editor-in-chief asked me, “What are your funeral hopes?”
The reason I replied that I wanted to change the world through civil movements was that I didn’t fully understand the principles of how the world works at the time.
It was a time when I was angry at an irrational world that I didn’t understand.

2. Understanding and Growth of the World’s Principles

As time passed, I gradually came to accept the workings of the world.
However, questions still remain about why it works this way.
This isn’t just a ‘wealth’ issue, but an overall social inequality issue.
It’s important to understand how money is made and distributed in our society.

3. Workplace Inequality and Risk Comparison

There is a clear difference between the CEO and ordinary employees in a company.
The CEO comes to work at 10 AM, wanders around without notice at 2 PM, and goes home early, while
Employees come to work at 7 AM and work overtime.
But why is the annual salary 27 million won?
That’s because the CEO takes on a greater risk in running the company.
The CEO takes the risk of losing all their assets when the company goes bankrupt, while
Employees only take the lesser risk of simply changing jobs.
This difference in risk ultimately creates wealth inequality.

4. Economic System and Our Common Concerns

Through these contents, the concepts of ‘economy,’ ‘investment,’ ‘market,’ ‘growth,’ and ‘finance’ in the modern economy
make us rethink how they are connected to social inequality.
It can be confirmed that the differences in corporate management, individual labor, and risk-taking have a significant impact on wealth distribution.
Rather than dreaming of revolution to change the world, young people should
first accurately recognize the irrationality and identify the problems of the current system.
It is necessary to coolly look at one’s reality and have a fundamental understanding of why this structure was created.

< Summary >
The problem of economic inequality and workplace risk is explained through the experiences of youth.
Highlighting the process of a young person starting as a civil activist and trying to understand the principles of how the world works,
especially emphasizing that the clear difference in risk between the CEO and employees within the company determines wealth distribution.
Also, touching on the core keywords of the modern economic system, such as economy, investment, market, growth, and finance,
the message is conveyed that we all need to recognize the problems of the current system and seek alternatives.
