Work–life balance in South Korea

But work–life balance in South Korea advanced when Warabel emerged as a neologism, changing the perception of people's work and their basic rights.

Warabal (워라밸), or work–life balance, is a newly coined Korean term that has emerged as the tendency to value quality of life rather than annual salary increases.

In today's Korean society, Warabal is a satisfactory state of life that properly distributes energy and time to work and daily life, drawing a lot of attention from office workers.

[4] In fact, Korea ranked 36th in the OECD's "Better Life Index" in 2016, the lowest among 38 countries.

According to a 2017 social survey released by the National Statistical Office last year, the highest percentage of respondents who were not satisfied with their leisure life after work was "economic burden."

As a result, PT (Personal Translation) training app and foreign language 1:1 private tutoring services are gaining popularity recently.

[9] It is expected that the shorter working hours will improve the quality of life for workers with the aim of not only creating new jobs but also realizing Wara Valley, which means work-life balance.

[11] Work–life balance in South Korea (Warabal) is also closely related to various areas, such as women's jobs and child care.
