South Korea's ”population ratio of 0-14 year olds” is the lowest in the world... More serious than Japan and China

It has been found that South Korea has the lowest population ratio of children (ages 0-14) among countries with a population of over 40 million. This figure is lower than that of Japan, which is notorious for its low birth rate and aging population, and shows the unevenness of South Korea's population structure.
According to the United Nations World Population Estimates released on the 19th, South Korea's child population ratio last year was calculated to be 10.6%, the lowest among 37 countries with a population of over 40 million.
Japan, which began to face problems with low birth rates and an aging population before South Korea, had a higher child population ratio than South Korea during the same period, at 11.4%. South Korea is set to overtake Japan in 2020 and become the No. 1 major country in the world.
Korea has the lowest ratio of minors in the country. The ratio of minors in the population is expected to continue to decline in the future. According to the National Statistics Portal (KOSIS), the ratio of minors in the population of Korea is expected to fall further by next year.
The birth rate is expected to reach 9.7% in 2019, and then drop to 7.9% in 2050 and 6.9% in 2060. This shows that a society in which there is less than one child per 10 people is not so far off.
This rapid population decline will have serious effects on the size of the economy and social structure. The United Nations and the World Bank predict that South Korea's population will fall to 24.1 million in 2100, less than half of its current level.
It is estimated that the population decline is the fastest among countries with a per capita GDP of $30,000 or more.
According to the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), South Korea's total fertility rate in 2022 will be 0
The number of births in Korea is 78, which is significantly lower than the United States (1.67) in the same year. The Korean government has invested about 380 trillion won (about 38 trillion yen) over the past 20 years to solve the problem of low birth rates, but the number of births is
The number is decreasing every year. In a report, the British BBC diagnosed the reality of Korea, saying, "The declining birthrate is not simply a personal choice, but is a result of factors such as work environment, career interruptions, the burden of housing and education costs, and stereotypes about gender roles.
In particular, while the number of highly educated and highly-employed women has increased, the social perception that childcare and housework are the women's role has not changed.
Bloomberg News also said, "The falling birthrate poses long-term danger to the economy by reducing the size of the workforce that fuels growth and vitality," and "economists say that women are more likely to have children and raise them."
"We need to do more to improve gender equality so that women don't have to worry about losing their jobs because of their children."
