Samsung leads conglomerates in entry-level hiring for future growth

Samsung leads conglomerates in entry-level hiring for future growth

South Korea's business titan, Samsung, and its peers are stepping up recruitment of fresh graduates, wagering that a new generation of workers can drive growth amid restructuring, trade headwinds and the advance of artificial intelligence.Samsung Group said Thursday it will take on 60,000 new hires over the next five years – about 12,000 annually, or 20% more than its average in the recent three years. The new hires, mostly fresh graduates, will be spread across 19 affiliates, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, Samsung SDI and Samsung Biologics. Samsung said the plan is aimed at developing future businesses – semiconductor parts, bio and AI – while also creating jobs for young Koreans.Other major chaebol are also bolstering their ranks. SK Group, the country’s second-largest conglomerate, expects to recruit 4,000 people in the second half of this year. Hyundai Motor Group will hire 7,200 this year and expand to 10,000 in 2026. LG Group will add 10,000 employees over three years, while POSCO plans to recruit 15,000 over five years. Hanwha Group said it will bring in 3,500 more workers in the second half, after 2,100 in the first.The hiring spree follows President Lee Jae Myung’s call earlier this week for big business groups to expand opportunities for young job seekers. Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong pledged in June during his meeting with the president to carry out domestic investment and job creation “without delay or change,” despite growing economic headwinds.RESTRUCTURING AND AI TRANSITION The entry-level recruitment drive comes at a time when Korean companies are trimming costs and reshaping their workforces amid the rapid advance of AI. On Wednesday, LG Electronics Inc. broadened its voluntary retirement program, which was initially limited to its money-losing TV unit, to cover all departments, citing eroding profitability. The home appliance giant said it would reorganize its workforce by phasing out older and underperforming staff while channeling resources into areas such as AI and business-to-business services.The business reshuffle is also taking place against a broader government-led restructuring push in the country’s steel and petrochemicals industries that have been steadily losing ground to Chinese competitors.Seoul has made clear it wants capital and talent redeployed toward higher-value businesses and its ambition to become a global leader in AI and other next-generation technologies. BALANCING CUTS WITH HIRINGAnalysts say the dual track of layoffs and entry-level hiring underscores how Korean conglomerates are trying to stay competitive in a shifting global economy. “While we must deal with immediate challenges, we also need to lay the foundations for growth over the next 20 and 30 years,” Samsung’s Lee said earlier this year.Samsung’s domestic workforce has grown 23% since 2019, reaching nearly 129,000 as of June. The expansion underscores how Korea’s largest conglomerate continues to bet on young talent to sustain growth, even as rivals cut back and AI reshapes the workplace.By Chae-Yeon Kim, Jin-Won Kim and Eui-Myung [email protected] Seo edited this article.

Korea risks hitting rate floor, nullifying monetary policy: BOK governor

WASHINGTON D.C. -- South Korea needs to prepare for its benchmark interest rates to fall to levels so low that the central bank would have limited room to stimulate the economy through intereset rate policy alone, Rhee Chang-yong, governor of the Bank of Korea, said on Thursday.“As a newly advanced economy facing rapid population aging, Korea risks reaching the effective lower bound (ELB) in the distant future,” Rhee said during a speech at the 12th annual Michel Camdessus Central Banking Lecture hosted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).An ELB refers to the minimum threshold for nominal interest rates, below which further rate cuts could be detrimental to the economy.To deal with the ELB, Rhee proposes emerging markets, including South Korea, consider implementing a funding for lending (FFL) scheme as an alternative to conventional monetary policy.Under the FFL framework, central banks provide low interest funding to private financial institutions, which then channel credit to targeted sectors. The former director of Asia and Pacific Department at the IMF said that the BOK’s monetary policy decisions in January reflected its use of the FFL facility to complement conventional policy tools. In January, the BOK left interest rates unchanged at 3.0%, defying market expectations of a cut. It cited political uncertainty in the aftermath of former President Yoon Suk-yeol’s ill-fated martial law decree as a key factor behind the policy decision. “Rather than immediately cutting rates, we used the lending facility to provide targeted support to the self-employed and SMEs while waiting for political uncertainty to ease,” he told the conference.“This illustrated how such targeted measures can address the limitations of interest rate policy as a ‘blunt tool.’”South Korea’s policy rate has remainedat 2.50% following a quarter-point cut in February and May, respectively. Rhee cautioned against the adoption of quantitative easing and foreign exchange market intervention in Asia’s No. 4 economy, warning they could cause adverse impacts such as draining high-quality liquid assets from the country. The governor also calls for structural reforms in South Korea, saying he has expanded the scope of the BOK’s research beyond monetary policy to address structural issues tied to long-term growth, such as labor force participation, immigration, and regional development.“Considering that the ELB risk in Korea is mainly driven by structural factors like population aging and low birth rates, I believe the best policy to counter the ELB is not reactive fiscal or monetary intervention, but proactive prevention through structural reforms,” the governor noted.By Jin-gyu [email protected] Kim edited this article.

The Pandemic Of Fake Psychiatric Diagnoses
2025-09-19

The Pandemic Of Fake Psychiatric Diagnoses

The Pandemic Of Fake Psychiatric Diagnoses Authored by Peter C. Gøtzsche via The Brownstone Institute,On 12 September, UK child and adolescent psychiatrist Sami Timimi published “When mental-health diagnoses become brands, the real drivers of our psychic pain are hidden” in the Globe and Mail, a Canadian newspaper.In his superb article, Sami carefully explains how he arrives at his painful conclusion:You see there is a truth that we (in the mental-health business) hope no one will notice – we literally don’t know what we are talking about when it comes to mental health.An obvious problem is that all definitions of psychiatric disorders are subjective. They are not objective facts such as a broken bone is. This means they can be expanded in a myriad of ways to capture a kaleidoscope of distress, alienation, and dissatisfaction, and that psychiatric diagnoses are consumer brands, not medical diseases. In medicine, a diagnosis is aimed at determining which disease explains a person’s symptoms and signs, which enables effective matching of a treatment to address specific disease processes. This is not the case in psychiatry. And all psychiatric drugs have nonspecific effects that are not directed against some cause of a disease. Their effects are similar to those of alcohol, narcotics, and other brain-active substances. But, as Sami explains, increasingly, youngsters are getting diagnosed with ADHD, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, autism, and often several such diagnoses. Their conversations may address gender identity, neurodiversity, and “having” a mental health disorder such as ADHD. The facts are that virtually no one is in doubt about whether they are male or female; neurodiversity is a meaningless concept used by psychiatrists to impress the public about how knowledgeable they are but it just means that all people are not the same; and one cannot “have” ADHD, which is just a name for a subjective description of rather common behaviours and therefore cannot explain anything. What people should realise is that it is part of being human to have difficulties that can be handled better if we don’t give people psychiatric diagnoses and drugs. Difficulties often have a cause that has nothing to do with being ill, e.g. poverty, trauma, inadequate housing, social injustice, marital problems, discrimination, exclusion, bereavement, unemployment, and financial insecurity. Life is not easy, but if you have difficulty coping with its challenges, you can easily get one or more psychiatric diagnoses. There is a lot of misinformation that leads people astray, in scientific articles, newspapers, TV, radio, and social media. When youngsters look up descriptions of people who say they “have” ADHD on social media, they may be convinced they “have” it too and may even self-diagnose. There is an element of social contagion in this, and the criteria for ADHD are so vague and ludicrous that when I lecture and ask people to use the adult ADHD test on themselves, it never fails that one quarter to half the audience test positive. Often, authoritative information is also seriously misleading or even mendacious, which I have documented in my books and articles, most recently in my freely available book, “Is psychiatry a crime against humanity?” and in the freely available article, “The only medical specialty that survives on lies.” Sami mentions a patient information leaflet on antidepressants produced by a British national mental health service that includes the following advice: It can sometimes take weeks, months or even years, to get the right medicine at the right dose for you. Think of it as a bit like dating. Some make you feel sick or sleepy; some are great to start with but wear off; others may not be much to start with but after a while grow on you. Then you might have found the one that makes you feel good long-term. So don’t lose hope if the first one doesn’t work.It is an illusion to think that if you wait long enough and try enough drugs, one will work for you. Most mental health issues become better with time, without any treatment, which is misinterpreted as a drug effect, and research has shown that it doesn’t help to change drugs or increase the dose of drugs (see my freely available “Critical Psychiatry Textbook”). The illusion that it helps to try several antidepressant drugs comes from the STAR*D trial, a $35 million fraud funded by the US National Institute of Mental Health. Sami writes that he is impressed by the extraordinary ability of even the most severely afflicted of the young patients he sees to recover functionality and meaning in their lives. His advice to parents with troubled kids is that they should not agree to having their children assessed for ADHD, autistic spectrum disorder, or anxiety (or depression, as depression drugs double suicides). We should be able to talk about how we feel without jumping into panic mode and imagining that what we’re describing could be the onset of some mental disorder. Sami goes on to say that,As we are launched into a seemingly never-ending search for the right diagnosis and treatment, we start collecting labels and accompanying interventions. Each step in this journey has the potential to make it harder to accept your child (or yourself) just the way they are with all their uniqueness and the mysterious wonderful variety of ways they might thrive in this maddening world. Be patient and categorize psychological problems in the sphere of the ordinary and/or understandable...Our duty as parents (and to each other as adults) is not to prevent our children from experiencing distress (which is impossible), but to be there and take the time and have the patience to be with them and support them when they do.Beware of concept creep. As what I call the Mental Health Industrial Complex has burrowed its way into day-to-day language and “common sense,” concepts have been popularized that encourage us to view behaviours and experiences in pathological ways. We no longer become sad or miserable, we get depressed...You and your children’s experiences nearly always sit in the realm of the ordinary and/or understandable...Arming yourself with some knowledge to help you avoid the prolific spread of scientism (faith masquerading as science) could save you or your child becoming another number in the growing crowds of those who are deemed to have lifelong and incapacitating mental disorder/illness. These conditions were never meant to be a life sentence.If all doctors heeded Sami’s advice, fewer people would kill themselves and fewer people would become permanently disabled. But in a world where healthcare is heavily influenced by the drug industry’s corruption of doctors, it is reasonable to ask: Are psychiatrists more mad than their patients? I have responded in the affirmative. Like me, Sami is a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network based in England. My experience with lecturing for psychiatrists has led me to believe that over 99% of psychiatrists are uncritical towards their practice. Think about it. This is why psychiatric drugs are the third leading cause of death and why psychiatry as a profession does far more harm than good. Don’t our kids and friends deserve better than this?
