Why are many people in South Korea reluctant to have babies? I'd rather have a dog. I don't want to have a baby. For what. Let's find out.
South Korea is located on the Korean Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, and faces North Korea across the 38th parallel, adjacent to Japan across the Korean Strait in the east, and facing the Shandong Peninsula and Jiangsu provinces in China across the Yellow Sea in the west. It covers an area of about 103,000 square kilometers. The population is about 52 million. And South Korea is also a highly developed country. It also has a certain influence in the world.
According to relevant information:
South Korea has a total population of about 50 million in 2024 and an average life expectancy of 82.5 years, and if the population replacement can be maintained, there must be 600,000 newborns every year. With so many kids, it's a bit tricky.
The actual situation of newborns in South Korea at present:
358,000 in 2017
327,000 in 2018
303,100 in 2019
275,800 in 2020
260,500 in 2021
249,000 in 2022,
235,000 in 2023.
Only less, not more. Not to mention 600,000, 200,000 will be gone soon. Add to that the aging of the population. The demographic crisis can be said to be extremely serious. No wonder the president is in a hurry.
The president has repeatedly emphasized it. If we can't adjust for low fertility in time. Aging is a serious problem. South Korea may eventually go extinct.
Doesn't that sound a little scary? There are also some idlers on the Internet who have roughly calculated that if other factors are not considered, it is estimated that the last Korean will die by 2750. There really isn't this country on the map. But young people don't care about you. Hold who loves to give birth. The mentality of who is born. I don't want to give birth anyway. For this reason, the South Korean government has also failed to recruit. I am even thinking of a way, as long as you need it, we will meet it. But I still can't impress.
Let's take an example based on the current situation in South Korea. If you have a child, the government will subsidize hundreds of thousands. If you don't have time to take care of children, give men more than ninety days of leave to take care of their children, and if you are willing to have more children, that's even better, as long as you have three children under the age of thirty, men are not required to do military service.
For this. Korean women are dissatisfied, why only give men a holiday? Do we give birth without holidays? It's not fair either[Cover your face] [Cover your face]
So, most of the women began to "rebel", without me. You let the men give birth to themselves. Whoever loves this child will be born. I'm not giving birth anymore.
The government is really rectified and has nothing to say, so it began to plan again, for public officials, if you can have more children, not only give you a promotion, but also give you a job, what I didn't expect is that most female public officials don't eat you a set, or don't give birth, alas. There is no way to really put the government in order. Why these people. Is it that oil and salt don't enter? It's not okay to give money. You can't give anything. I don't want fame and fortune, is there any other reason? Let's move on.
First, going to school is more pitted than in our country
There is a common saying among Korean students: "Four when five falls", which means that if you sleep for four hours a day, you may be admitted to university, and if you sleep for five hours, you may have no hope. We may sound a little confused, but in South Korea it is.
Students have to go to various cram schools since they were young, so that they can get into a good university, and there are only a few famous universities in Korea. There are so many students, and 10,000 people cross the single-plank bridge, it is conceivable that in order to grab the ranking of the university. You can only learn to die, according to the Korean students. You have to study at least 15 hours a day, but if you go to bed early, you are not responsible for yourself. Think about it. Even if you don't eat or drink for a day. Wake up at 8 a.m. and have 15 hours of study. It was 11 p.m. If you eat. Dry others. My mom. And not until the wee hours of the morning. It's a bit hard to learn. Forget about the hard work. It's even harder to get a job.
Second, finding a job is more difficult than we think
I finally graduated, and I thought that life would be better, but you think too much, employment in South Korea is really not so simple, because South Korea is a country ruled by chaebols, most businesses are controlled by a few large families, and it is almost difficult for ordinary people to achieve financial freedom by starting a business. And if you touch the interests of the chaebol family, you may face long-term unemployment. The only employment opportunity is to study hard and be admitted to a prestigious school to have the opportunity to work in a large chaebol family company.
Third, the house is very expensive and you can't afford it
The average house price in Seoul, South Korea is more than 140,000 yuan per square meter, and even if the average worker earns 20,000 yuan a month and does not eat or drink for decades, he can only afford a small apartment. But more young people are having to choose to rent a house.
All in such a situation where it is not easy in all respects. I'm already bitter enough, and it's even more bitter when I have a child [tears] [tears]. It's better not to give birth.
If it were you, would this child still be alive?
