President Park's government had been pushing for this as the economy weakened and, she felt, became less competitive.</p> <p style="border:0px;color:#404040;font-family:Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;line-height:1.375;margin:18px 0px 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">첫째로, 정규직 노동자의 해고에 대한 법률적 보호를 약화시킨 시도이다. 박대통령은 이 노동자 보호법이 경제를 약화시키며 덜 경쟁적이다 라고 말하며 법안통과를 강행했다. </p> <p style="border:0px;color:#404040;font-family:Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;line-height:1.375;margin:18px 0px 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="line-height:1.375;">Secondly, unhappiness at what opponents of the government see as a heavier hand against dissidents and protesters. A left-wing opposition party was banned and its leaders arrested for their alleged sympathies with North Korea.</span></p> <p style="border:0px;color:#404040;font-family:Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;line-height:1.375;margin:18px 0px 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="line-height:1.375;">두번째로, 정부의 반대파에 대한 불행은 시위자와 반체제인사에 대한 필요이상으로 혹독한 조치였다. 진보 정당의 지도자는 북한에 대한 간첩혐의로 수감되었다. </span></p> <p style="border:0px;color:#404040;font-family:Helmet, Freesans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;line-height:1.375;margin:18px 0px 0px;padding:0px;vertical-align:baseline;"><span style="line-height:1.375;">Household debt is high and rising in South Korea and unemployment among young people is at levels not seen for nearly two decades.
