South Korea Again Smashes Own Record for World’s Lowest Fertility Rate in 2022

I wonder if housing has anything to do with this. Japan has the largest numbe of single homes in east asia.

I would say it's more like the inflation of lifestyle expectations.

In SG, most families can afford such basic necessities. In fact, income/education and TFR are negatively correlated here. The higher the income/education, the lesser the number of kids. The higher the income, the higher the lifestyle expectations. So it's not really about affording the basic necessities. A high income family may consider enrichment classes, holidays and smartphone for their 7 year old kid as a necessity. The government is relatively powerless against such inflation of lifestyle expectations because human wants are never ending.

I reckon it's pretty much the same in other East Asian societies and developed countries.


The main stream media forever blame the evil people while government are portray as good as God. In reality the government has a black hand on all these. On statistic, we can get impression that Singapore household earn enough for procreation. Devil is in detail.

However if the wife resign and take care of babies, the family income drop by half and overnight, family sinks into poverty.

And all these mean income is skewed to the high side by older workers. The young people have no monies. Everyone knows the trick of higher fertility rate is to get women to start breed at 20-24, instead of after 30.

GoS is main culprit of lower fertility. Dont listen to what they say, you observe what they do.

 
Singapore President Halimah "I heard of a relationship that broke up because the boyfriend's mother insisted that the girl must give up working once they were married, which she refused. We think that this is absurd but it's still happening,"

Disgusting Singapore President Halimah. When groom family want wife to stay at home, it means the family is traditional. want have baby, and want good mother.

Singapore is now anti traditional, anti mother, pro feminazi.

With so many women hating and despising Singaporean man, there will be no babies.

GoS is BIGGEST culprit sterilizing Singapore.

 
East Asia's birthrate is the biggest problem.

Not many know that KCIA fund all sex cult in Korea. A lot of Korean go sex cult and start fking at some point of their life. When a country mass orgies, somehow it affect offspring. Korean low fertility is partly government initiative.

GoK then pretend innocent.

They may not be able to affect inflation, or even by subsidizing family expenses, but they don't have to. What they can do is open competition, or increase regulation of pricing products to make sure they end up being cheap and affordable.

Also, the situation in one nation isn't rhe same in another. In Japan it is certainly a number of issues, one being what was mentioned by me previously, another could be the absolutely insane work life that Japanese people go through.

It's not a good idea to simply use one nation's metrics on another nation as context is far more important to deal with such situations.
 
i am seeing Vietnam and Nk have decent fertility rates. does socialism makes family more affordable ? its super confusing.

Urbanization kills birthrate, Vietnam isn't 90% urbanized, yet.
This is why Kishida is paying japanese to leave Tokyo.
