A decade of burnout and suicide in South Korea, read through the 2018 labor reform and the IDCS index, tests how purpose, transmission and resilience hold up under sustained systemic stress.
his dossier analyzes South Korea’s persistent burnout and high suicide rates (2015–2024), focusing on the 2018 labor reform (52-hour workweek).
