[THE INVESTOR] Next year’s biggest issues related to the economy will be youth unemployment and the job market, a survey on Seoul citizens by the Seoul Institute showed on Dec. 27.

Most of the respondents were also negative toward the prospects of the resolution of issues concerning real estate, income polarization, the low birthrate and aging population.

However, some 66.3 percent said relations with China would improve next year.

The institute added that more households appeared to view that their living circumstances would worsen next year due to a decrease in income and rise in expenditure.
