In the second quarter, Korea's economy grew the largest in 47 years, and while per capita gross national income is expected to exceed $40,000 for the first time ever, the problem is that despite the economic growth, people's actual lives have not improved. In the second quarter, Korea's economic report card suddenly became impressive. As you know, exports centered on semiconductors were strong, but the Bank of Korea said that if things continue like this, the per capita national income this year will reach $40,000 for the first time ever. They analyzed it. This should be good news, but $40,000 is equivalent to 53 million won, and I don't earn that much, so is the average really that high? It's possible. The term 'national income' can be misleading, but In fact, it's calculated by combining the money earned by individual citizens, money earned by companies, and money collected by the government through taxes. So, how much money actually goes into each citizen's pocket here? Since companies and the government account for a large portion, it's just over half, at 55.5%. When ,,,, first compiled statistics in 1975, when the government earned 100 won, citizens took 77.5 won, almost ,,,three-quarters of it, but now it's been cut in half!!!!!!! In fact, since it's semiconductor-centered, it's completely unbalanced!!!!!!
