@metrouk: South Korea's population decline has been so steep that it has reduced the nation's military capacity by 20%. A defence ministry report found that the country had 450,000 service members, lower than the estimated at least 500,000 it would need to fight off an active war with North Korea. Population decline has been a serious issue for South Asian nation in recent decades, with parents now raising fewer than one child per woman. #southkorea #news #birth #한국 #korea #대한민국

korea’s birth rate won’t go up unless the patriarchy and misogyny stop. korea’s got the biggest gender pay gap in the oecd and the worst glass ceiling for 10 years straight. expecting women to have kids in that is just crazy. korean women are too educated and aware to put up with it.

Just following japans lead, the cost of capitalism. Work to death just to survive and pay taxes, having children is just more financial burden.

South korea is mysoginist, look at their history with women. Same with japan and china. Thats why the birth rate is dropping.

It all goes back to housing. Couples simply don’t have the housing for children.

i’m korean and while misogyny is a huge problem here it is not the reason for the birth rate decline 😭 it’s bc of the cost of living, stress, and instability

Who would have guessed having the worst work life balance in the world and letting chaebols run the country would cause a birth rate crisis 😲
