Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of COVID-19-induced changes in daily life and activity participation for youth on their career readiness. To this end, a survey was conducted with 1,056 youths living in Busan, and the results were obtained using the hierarchical regression analysis method. For the analysis, changes in daily life and activity participation were used as independent variables. Changes in daily life consisted of changes in stress and life satisfaction, and youth’s participation in activities was comprised of participation and satisfaction. Accordingly, the relative influence of changes in their stress, life satisfaction, activity participation, and activity satisfaction since COVID-19 on their career readiness was investigated. As a result, it was found that youth activity satisfaction, activity participation, and changes in life satisfaction and stress had a positive effect on their career readiness. In particular, activity satisfaction showed the greatest influence. Career readiness can provide youth with powerful support to actively respond to various changes they are facing in the rapidly changing society since COVID-19 and to achieve their individual career goals. This study confirmed that career readiness is reinforced by youth activity participation satisfaction.
