South Korea Will Collapse in 3 Generations

I think its more driven by the costs of raising a child is not affordable so people opt to not have one.




Seems like he is right

Private education spending hits all-time high despite falling number of students

Koreans' total spending on private education hit an all-time high in 2024, as parents spared no expenses for their children to survive in the pervasive competition that shows no signs of letting up despite a population decline, government data showed, Thursday.

I keep telling people, its economics, economics, economics, Korea suffers from very low wage growth and productivity, basically Korea stalled since The Amazing Dictator park was killed in 1979, practically almost zero growth if you take inflation into account

As every nation that mistreats women deserves. Macsonkor! And well done to the 4B movement. They'll say and do anything but the real solution, which is making laws that protect women from sexual violence and other misogynist antics.

I hope women worldwide refuse to deal with misogynist men and shut down the entire ethnic group. The only lineages worth existing are good ones, don't give duplicate defective men.

you gave me a thump down for basically calling for arranged marriages and the state lowering the burden of wedding costs another massive reason why a lot of young men cant marry

china for example and Asian cultures the man needs buy a house before he marries as a dowry for his wife's family

Somalis are making it super hard to also get married with all types of nonsense

by the Islam bans double standard misogyny and sexual violence, this idea that all men world wide are prone to sexual violence and misogynistic is nonsense, I have abtis who divorced and each told the wife let me take the kids and raise them and have done so, sure with help of grandmother, but not all men are evil, you present this picture every men on earth is 4B movement

biggest reason this lack of kids is happening due to economics, expensive weddings and bloody even more expensive run away house price inflation

Asian cultures dont have kids out of wedlock, hence they would rather not making babies out of wedlock to avoid shaming the family, but weddings and married life is extremely expensive everywhere nowadays

I'd like to see it play out, not that I hate South Korea or anything. Just curious.

High work hours, career insecurity, expensive housing, and lack of social benefits are also major contributors.

But the conversation on social media is hijacked by social rejects and right wing nutjobs that fixate on identity politics which they use to distract them it with stuff about incels, gender war, feminism, immigrants away from the real reasons which has to do with economics and capitalism. Thats the real reasonn why the birth rates are falling.

People can barely afford their own lives, let alone kids. People want to have kids but feel they can't .

There is a solution to this which is to break with full time capitalism and make the wealth more distributive. Higher wages & better work-life balance. Government supported childcare & housing policies. Encouraging more work flexibility & parental leave etc.

I once watch a street interview in Korea that ask random people why they are not getting married and having kids. They said, that housing and childcare is expensive and that work is stressful. This is something that both men and women have said so I don’t think feminism and misogyny is influencing these people’s decisions. Children come naturally when people have time/money to have kids and South Korea is a country that overworks, stresses out, and doesn’t provide affordable housing to their fertile population.
