South Korea spent $200 billion, but it can't pay people enough to have a baby | CNN

The season of baby fairs is here once again in South Korea. Busy, noisy affairs held in cavernous conference halls where hundreds of vendors try to sell expectant parents everything they could possibly desire for their new bundle of joy – and plenty of other things they never knew they needed. But this is a shrinking business, and the customer base is dwindling. Figures released in November showed the average number of children a South Korean woman will have in her lifetime is down to just 0.79.

IVF treatment is not offered to single women, official hospital figures show. “We still have a very puritanical approach to single mothers,” said law professor Cho Hee-kyoung, who writes a newspaper column on social issues.

Send in some passport bros, they'll fix all that shit.

We have 8 Billion people on a planet than can sustain maybe half that many. Within 2 generations we'll have 12 Billion. Low birthrates are our only possible chance of survival as a species.

Feminism causes ethnic and national destruction.

Little wealth and little opportunity, little reason to invest in a family within the Modern Scheme.

i like the part where people randomly blame 'feminism' because they cant randomly blame the gays

Tag me in coach I've got this

An entirely sexist and misogynistic country. Also, corporations run the government and young people can't find jobs, let alone decent paying ones. Millennial and Gen Z can't afford to marry and/or breed in South Korea.

Hypercapitalism kills societies who'd have guessed

TIME TO IMPORT AFRICANS!

S Korea needs less kpop, more mmmbop.

What materialism and korean pop bands does to mfs

Korea exists to serve corporate. Corporate exists to make profits this year. That's the problem

Korea chooses self sterilisation.

I said exactly the same thing. The same with China & Taiwan. Keep up with a strong independent woman ©, Mass trans & gay push, the Next Generation stroll in & take it

the west has fallen

maybe don’t be a capitalist hellhole

Maximum stress prep schooling is probably the stupidest holdover from before the internet. It's a proven population control mechanism, like a rat utopia.

Squid gamers... why aren't we breeding...? We have KPOPs superhumans on our side, this doesn't make sense.

any correlation?

lol, I guess we figured out which was the best Korea

Is that why they worship effeminate boy bands?

JYLewis3 What's the problem?

Corporate growth over existence.

Send me in coach!

lndian_Bronson :( I hope they figure it out!

South Korea has gotten all of its men addicted to Digital Heroin. They will spend more money on Pay To Win & Gambling in Video Games than the average US Home Owner does maintaining their house a YEAR! They are ground zero of owning nothing.

Maybe if they didn’t eat so much soy

Not enough empowered women, that’s their problem.

Congrats South Korea! What a record to have!

South Korea and Japan will disappear because of population decline

The perfect place for corporate media to be sent to. They all hate this country and it’s history. So get on over to S.Korea. Take every whinny Liberal with you! 🇺🇸

Many East Asian women dread on the prospect of having to take care of their future husband old parents so they prefer to remain single as their financial independence allows it.

China will soon break it.

hmmm... i should move to korea and help them out... 😎
