Part 1 Korea’s Human Rights Status in 2021 Thoughts and opinions on human rights and experience related to human rights show great differences based on the demographical background or socio-economic backgrounds. According to the Korean National Human Rights Survey by the NHRCK (Dec. 2021), younger generations tend to have more interest and knowledge on human rights. Furthermore, the younger generations tend to think that their human rights are being respected more. Men in their 20s and 30s had the highest percentage of people who answered that their human rights are being respected (84.8%), and men over the age of 60 had the lowest percentage of people who answered that their human rights are being respected (79.2%). On the other hand, when asked “who is most vulnerable to human rights violations and discrimination,” people responded economically disadvantaged (35.6%), people with disabilities (32.9%) and migrants (22.3%). This is different from 2020, where the responses were people with disabilities (39.4%), economically disadvantaged (34.7%) and women (20.0%).
