Elderly set to exceed 30% by 2034
The population of South Korean nationals residing in the country has dropped below 50 million for the first time in six years, largely due to low birth rates.
Projections suggest that by 2042, this figure may not even reach 47 million.
According to data released by Statistics Korea on April 11, the population of South Korean nationals decreased from 50,021,000 in 2022 to 49,847,000 in 2023. After surpassing the 50 million mark in 2018 with a population of 50,024,000, the figure had remained in the 50 million range for five years before dropping to the 40 million range last year.
They are against things like mandatory military service for men only, women-only universities, women’s quotas, and other things that create a noticeable disadvantage in their daily lives, in one of the most ultra-capitalist societies in the world.
You know, against things that are effective gender discrimination and that feminism advocates. But yeah, their reaction and rise can only be explained by them being terrible men, no doubt.
There are extremists to every issue. Some want women to have to do military service, and some think that a woman’s place is at home raising the children for her husband.
Some of them are going to be terrible, and those are going to be the ones that women don’t want to partner with, let alone raise children with.
Of course, my comment was in the context of the one that has since been deleted where it blamed feminism for making women not want to have kids, lol
I think the biggest factor is actually the work culture, not gender issues.
