📉 🇰🇷 South Korea’s Shrinking Population – X Key Reasons

1️⃣ Ultra-Low Birth Rate
South Korea has one of the lowest fertility rates in the world — just XXXX births per woman in 2024.
2️⃣ High Cost of Living
Raising a child in cities like Seoul is expensive, discouraging young couples from starting families.

3️⃣ Work-Centered Culture
Long work hours and career pressure leave little time or energy for marriage and parenting.
4️⃣ Aging Population
The proportion of elderly is rising fast, while younger generations shrink — creating a demographic imbalance.

5️⃣ Marriage Hesitancy
Many young Koreans are delaying or avoiding marriage altogether, citing financial and social pressures.
