South Korea doomed

Low birthrate has catastrophic consequences over time

Well, many developed nations are like this and quite frankly there are probably a number of reasons. Of course the reasons do not change the reality that it is not good and will not work.

South Korea's population in 2025 is approximately 51.67 million.

In 1900, the area corresponding to present-day South Korea had an estimated population of about 9.7 million people.

No, I do not think South Korea is doomed. The current world population will be peaking in this century according to the UN and then will come down, mostly in the developed nations.

The issue is that the social systems will likely fall apart because there will not be young people to pay in as a tax base. While I support the idea that people should take care of their own and not rely on the goernment A there are some people who do not really have that and B even if everyone supported their own families with no welfare services there are stil certain things that the government provides such as defense and maintaining the roads that are not as much about famiies providing for families.

Every century has its social problems. And societies need to accommodate.

Liberalism, Feminism and modernity will literally kill South Korea. I guess the only solution is to invite countless Africans and Muslims to take over the country so the North can't.

I feel like pumping out children to maintain some sort of number isn't a Biblical concept. That views people as just a number in a machine & says your worth is based on having children. A lot of this is fear-mongering too. People have the urge to reproduce & that's not gonna go away. There's 2 extremes: one is there's too many people & we're gonna destroy the planet, the other is we're not having enough children. Both are silly
