    Middle class people didn't used to have to choose between the lifestyle they want, and children. Now however, all but the wealthiest people have to make massive financial sacrifices to have children that will materially lower their standard of living. The MSM needs to stop pretending that the issue is complicated, it's super simple and there are very obvious things governments can do if they really wanted to fix the problem.

    Korea is the country which is designed for rich. and This is because the rulling class that collaborated with Japan during the colonial era in 1900 to 1945, dominating politics and the economy, were never punished and still hold power in Korea, becoming increasingly corrupt over time. - ( it has another reason that it happened)
    That's why many Korean has suffering financial issue. and also most Koreans live at a lower standard of living than their actual abilities.
    The politics does not care the Birth Rate. They are just interested in their current life.

    The “expert’s” conclusion to accept their new reality is essentially the effective death of their society, all else being equal. It suggests that they must maintain promoting women in the workforce regardless of the longterm societal costs. I’m not stating that women shouldn’t be in the workforce at all. But it’s undeniable that there is a strong negative correlation between more women in the workforce and lower birth rates. This is worsened by monetary inflation. It’s curious that this report dodges mentioning that info. Again, I don’t wish to see women denied employment but if countries facing this issue are to survive, they have to reconcile with this in a way that satisfies all relevant parties.

      Was it in Sweden where they let parents themselves decide who stays at home after childbirth and they found that with that new freedom gender roles are pronounced stronger. Many women are happy to take care of the children, so are men, but forcing both into the workforce is the underpinning issue. Society needs to accept that renting is fine, there is no need to own a house before giving birth to a child, this will remove a lot of the financial burden from young parents.

    • @tw8464

      It's not women in the workforce. It's interesting the selective "right to work," isn't it? The real problem is the economies in "developed" countries are monopolized and rigged. These countries likr the US need to enforce their antitrust laws they haven't enforced for 50 years.

  • @CarryOnRTW
    @CarryOnRTW 46 хвилин тому +2

    Corps need more workers to keep increasing profits. Governments need citizens to bring in taxes. However increased profits means increased prices and so couples feel they don't have the disposable income to handle the costs of raising a child. They needed women to join the workforce to maintain the upward trajectories on shareholders reports. And yet they expected women to keep pumping out kids at the same rate and not pursue careers like men would. Maybe this is just the system self-correcting from capitalism? This is playing out at different levels all across the developed world. Fascinating stuff.

  • @kiwifruitkl

    South Korea has recorded 158,011 new births. Forget about the birth rate. Just look at the absolute value of births. The number of births may not be enough to sustain the total population, but it is definitely enough to sustain a town or a city. The whole economy has to downsize or get smaller than what it used to be. The elderly population and current working-age population can live together to save on living costs, to have some community, to pool together money/assets, to help each other raise children/younger generation. The government may have to do some planning, and by that, the government has to look at the natural abilities of students and hone the students' natural abilities. Students that are gifted in painting and sculpting can go into fields related to that. Students that are gifted in mathematics can go into math-heavy fields. Students must complete the schoolwork. Once graduated out of school, they may enter the workforce, and they will be assigned a paid job. The paid job will be minimum-wage. The new worker's performance will be reviewed and compared with other new workers. The best workers will get pay raises; the worst workers will still work minimum wage.

    Instituting policies that reverse the trend of female participation in the labor force would almost certainly solve the fertility problem for rich western nations. That probably wouldn't be an equitable or socially acceptable solution given contemporary social norms, but it's also not as though it's an unsolvable problem.

      This could be solved by men participating equally in domestic labour. Women participate in the paid workforce and then come home to begin their next shift, doing the majority of the unpaid domestic labour. If men want children they should have done their share of raising them.
      So - correct, it's not an unsolvable problem. Men choose not to do their share to solve it.
