SOUTH KOREA IS OVER

Demographic collapse

South Korea's population will shrink by 30% by 2060, becoming the world's oldest country. This demographic collapse is driven by an unprecedented fertility crisis, leading to economic and societal breakdown.

• 📉 By 2060, one in two South Koreans will be over 65, with less than 1 in 10 under 25.
• 💸 The workforce will halve to 17 million, potentially collapsing GDP and depleting pension funds.
• 🏠 Rural areas will become ghost towns as people concentrate in cities, leading to abandoned infrastructure.
• 💔 A loneliness epidemic is expected, with half of 70-year-olds having no siblings and 30% no children.
• 🇰 🇷 The low fertility rate of 0.72 is the lowest ever recorded, far below the 2.1 needed for stability.
