    Yay for Korea! A constantly growing population is not sustainable.

    This isn’t a Children of Men scenario, so there’s no need to fear intentional low birthrates.

      Except

      1. Young Koreans aren’t getting better jobs
      2. Housing isn’t slowing down fast enough
      3. Yoon and South Korean Government are trying to raise working hours

      Koreans are having a low birth rate because they are destroying their youth

        Those points seem to all be a result of rapid growth, which will (eventually) have to correct itself.

        The only people who should worry about low birth rates are corporations who know that won’t be selling their garbage to as many people as they forecasted for shareholders. 😁
