You're so correct!

The South Korean birth numbers are horrifyingly low for an additional reason.

Just take a look at the South Korean student scoring system and you would have a good idea why birth rates are so.

South Korea is giving bonuses for giving birth now. Trump has also considering something like that for the US but he won't say it openly that he wants white women to give birth. The question we should ask is WHY? Why are young people not giving birth or why are they not able to give birth?

Na wa o.... It's good that people like you are expressing their opinions but it will be better if your learn from other people's opinion too like now.... Their problem is not to fill school or class room but to replenish their population birth rate is less than a child at 0.75 per family so if they follow your advice in another 20 years the developing country they have "bilateral agreements" with would take over their country.

The solution is to encourage their citizens to give birth more like what China is doing now giving their citizens tax breaks and government paying them and raising the children with the parents etc.... I hope you've learnt to think for others not just yourself grin

Take away all laws that enables women's madness, wokeness and stupidity, then young men will once again be interested in marriage and making babies.

S Korea una never see anything yet when one demon came to your seat of power via an external imperialist to depopulation by making stupid law and after so many years of shrinking una brain could not tell una to reverse the law orchestrated to weaken your country but you are busy celebrating it now see una life?

The problem with South Korea is that they have long working hours and kids go through a very competitive education system that sucks the life out of their parents.

Long working hours and ultra competitive education curriculum are the main drivers of the plummeting birth rates.

Nevertheless, couples in advanced countries nowadays don't want too many kids. The max is 2 for most. Even in developing countries, where children enrolment is high, and family planning is encouraged, birth rates have plummeted towards the replacement rate of 2.1 or below.

Nigeria lack of widespread family planning enlightment is why the average woman here is births 4.5 kids.

In the 1960s, Singapore launched "Stop at Two" campaign. This worked incredibly well that by the 1980s, that it reached the target and even went below it.

Today in Singapore, it's about 1.1 children per woman. They too are encouraging more women to have more but they aren't listening.

They're now compelled to bring in loads of foreigners to fill in jobs. 36% of people living in Singapore are foreigners with permanent residence permits.

Population control is not a bad thing. I think they became comfortable and weren't tracking the trend.
it always backfire when man try to control the most basic aspect of nature like birth and death........
nature uses the birth and death system to produce more resilient species than the previous generation, new phenotypic and genetic traits all in relation to the existing biotic and abiotic conditions

every of nature's autopilot operation always has way of sorting and balancing it itself even when population stars to grow too much, nature will introduce a self destruct through disease, environmental condition, etc

Honestly this thing is scary if you think about it beyond the headlines.

Over 4,000 schools shutting down means it’s not just low birth rate anymore, it’s a full-blown population collapse. South Korea focused so much on hustle culture, crazy work hours, expensive housing, and pressure to “make it” that people simply gave up on marriage and kids. Now the system is eating itself.

What makes it worse is that throwing money at the problem hasn’t worked for them. They’ve spent billions on baby bonuses and incentives, yet young people still say it’s not worth it. That tells you the issue isn’t cash alone, it’s quality of life.

People laughing and saying good for them don’t realize this affects the future workforce, pensions, innovation, even national security. Fewer kids today means fewer adults tomorrow to carry the economy.

Countries like ours should be paying attention instead of mocking. Once society crosses a certain point, reversing it becomes almost impossible.

South Korea is a quite racist country. They may not like the idea of thousands of kids from third world in their land

Is it that there young people refused to get marry, infertility or excessive birth control.

Countries like china, korea, Japan etc move like they are already in year 2030

They move like robots, they don't give birth, they barely talk to each other in public etc.

Anyway, they should give Nigeria and Africans free access to their country and the rest will be history.

More like the more richer a society becomes the better it's welfare system

Countries that are poor, you must have kids or when you get old no one would take care of you. South Korea doesn't have that problem

Also becoming a rich country means costs of childcare go up. Cost of housing goes up. It may be better on ones wallet not to have kids

Finally work hours in south Korea are as crazy as Japan. Wake up at six , work till ten or eleven pm. No time to date or to meet someone. Yes some do. And even when married, no time to procreate

All those countries are also very racist.

A black Gabonese martial artist was out walking with his Chinese wife in china when one Chinese man racially abused him. Wife was worried that hubby would use the abusive racist for a demonstration of the power of martial arts ( the husband just told the guy off)

Recently the idea of Nigerians and other Africans moving to Japan to work under bilateral agreements was met with such opprobrium that the idea was dropped

And then there is the blood based racisim. Where even the child of a Korean and a white person is regarded as impure. Or something

North Korea is even just as bad

Childbirth rates are falling there. Even now, their population is less than the South. And as for invasion, neither the Chinese or the Americans want it, so nothing will happen
