  In this book, Nowadays Republic of Korea suffers from twenty's monthly pay. Their monthly pay average is 880,000won. Because the minimum wage system is worse than other countries' minimum wage system. For example, at least employees in New Zealand take 11,114won per 1hour, Australia take 13,568won per 1hour, America take 10,648won per 1hour, Japan take 10,936won per 1hour, England take 11,775won per 1hour, Canada take 9,700won per 1hour, Belgium take 14,620won per 1hour, Netherlands take 15,011won per 1hour, France take 14,581won per 1hour and Ireland take 14,842won per 1hour in 2009. But employees in Korea just take 4,860won per 1hour in 2013. Also Like this low minimum wages cause many problems. When they wanted to go abroad for language training, they worked in temporary job. Though they worked hard, they couldn't go abroad. Because they had a little money to go aborad. And they had no visible means of support Because of low wages. So ministry of health and welfare should raise their budget. Then the government had to raise taxes. As they couldn't earn a living. As a result, the government recognize it and should raise the minimum wages.
  The government support education little. For example, Denmark supports 14860thousands won, Finland supports 11330thousands won, Germany supports 10070thousands won, France supports 7950thousands won, America supports 9260thousands won, England supports 8510thousands won, Japan supports 4850thousands won. But Korea just supports 900thousands won. So teenagers and twenties in Korea suffered from tuition fee and they protested to bring down the tuition fee and argued half price tuition fee. As a result, the government gave state scholarship to them through the protest their wish came true in some degree. The book said "Close a book of TOFEL, barricade yourself in and pick up the largest stone." Nowadays twenty suffer from lots of things. Pick a bad one out of the lot. Maybe they are facing one of the worst job markets in years. But they can overcome it because of barricade in front of them and the largest stone on their hand.
