According to the Ministry of Manpower's data, in February 2024, there were approximately 742,000 discouraged workers, or those who felt it was impossible to find a job.

This discouraged group comprised about 10% of the total national unemployment figure during the same period.

The majority of discouraged unemployed in February 2024 were elementary school graduates or lower, totaling 263,000 individuals.

The number of discouraged unemployed tended to decrease with increasing education levels.

An exception occurred among university graduates (D4/S1/S2/S3). Despite having the highest education level, the number of discouraged unemployed in this group was higher than among diploma graduates (D1/D2/D3).
