That is what I was thinking. The “usual” reasons until I dug deeper.
Korea like a lot of countries is very traditional and wants women to be married and have children. There is no “single mother” or “Baby daddy drama” there like here in America. It just does not happen.
Problem is they are not getting married. Women and men say they can’t afford it and are choosing to stay single and in the work place. I can’t even tell that they are dating.
Don’t forget feminism. Feminism teaches Women that they’ll never be the equal of man unless they have a big career. Meanwhile they forget that the Man can’t give birth.
Ban abortion and import big breasted women—that should do it.
Nobody wants to confront the REAL reason: women losing interest in marriage and children, preferring instead to spend their youthful years partying.
Focusing on birth control is like focusing on gun control: we must instead look at human motivations
Studies show they're not even having sex to start with.
The post modern industrialized society is an empty offer to young people. They don't want to live in a box of concrete and steel, working insane hours doing marginal things, separated from their extended families. They don't want to bring children into it either.
It's not just Korea, it's all modernized countries.

Maybe they need to look at the lack of religion & real meaning in people’s lives. A career is lovely until it’s over. And then you spend your senior years alone? Or taken care of by a robot?
