A survey found that 7 out of 10 Seoul National University students said they do not trust that they will actually be able to receive the National Pension after retirement. Even after last year's pension reform, concerns about the time when the fund will be depleted continue, and this appears to reflect the anxieties of young people.
At a policy discussion held on the 28th by the National Assembly Special Committee on Pension Reform, Park Junseop, former acting president of the Seoul National University student council, released the results of a survey conducted among 551 Seoul National University students. In the survey, 69.7% said they do not trust that they will be able to receive National Pension benefits, while 25.3% said they do trust it.
In the same survey, 49.9% of respondents said they support separating the socalled new and old pensions, in which contributions paid by younger generations are set aside and operated separately. 17.8% were opposed. At the discussion, a proposal was also raised to extend the National Pension enrollment period beyond the current one, and opinions were presented that the contribution payment period should be extended in line with the increase in employment among older adults.
