time.com
Low fertility threatens to undermine South Korea’s economic future by shrinking its workforce and slowing consumption.

The latest forecast by Statistics Korea puts the population in 2072 at 36.2 million, a 30% decline from the current 51.7 million, even though the fertility rate may recover a bit to 0.68 in 2026. The population is expected to fall every year starting in 2025.

    Lol, hilarious.

    I mean yeah, it’s sad this is going on. But that example is just too funny.

    Hopefully these men can get over themselves and start treating women with the respect they deserve.

      Oh, absolutely, I agree. The only thing that truly brings solace is that reactionary movements get louder when progressive movements grow stronger.
