Nearly half of the South Korean public and businesspeople believe society to be unfair, in contrast to nearly half of public servants who considered it fair.

According to a survey by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission on Monday, 43-point-three percent of the general public said South Korean society is unfair. Forty-five-point-one percent of businesspeople felt the same way.

Among public employees, only 14-point-six percent said society was unfair, compared to 45-point-four percent who said it was fair.

On the question of corruption, 48-point-four percent of the general public said society is corrupt, while 36-point-four percent of businesspeople and six-point-one percent of public employees gave that response.

While 33-point-one percent of the public and 44 percent of businesspeople thought public servants were corrupt, only one-point-four percent of public employees felt that way.

The survey of four-thousand-530 people, including members of the public, businesspeople and public servants, was conducted in June and between October and November.
