Korea is in the front line of the fertility crisis of the developed world. Success in resolving it would be of global, not just national significance. Conventional measures have not worked well. Korea’s economy is world leading but social change has not kept pace. There are obvious problems in the relation between the sexes, the position of women and choices relating to work, marriage and family. These affect the attraction of marriage and the chances of children. Resolving that would need a change in culture and maybe redefining what it is to be Korean. That will be difficult and painful.
