South Korea broke the record of the lowest fertility rate in the world. Why does the low fertility rate become a global trend?
According to media reports, the latest fertility data released by the Korea Statistics Office on the 24th showed that the total fertility rate in Korea in 20021year was only 0.8 1, showing a cliff-like downward trend compared with previous years, setting a new low since the relevant statistics began. Among the member countries of relevant statistics, South Korea's total fertility rate ranks first from the bottom, which shows that South Korea's current fertility rate is in a quite low state. If corresponding measures are not taken to alleviate it in the future, it is likely that the fertility rate will continue to decline and the population will decrease rapidly.

Reasons for Low Fertility Throughout the world, the fertility rate has been in a low state in recent years, especially in South Korea. The main reasons for this phenomenon are economy and employment. According to some Korean women, the reason why they choose late childbearing or infertility is because the current employment environment is very fierce, and it is really difficult to take time out for dating and emotional life. Coupled with the heavy economic pressure and unfairness to women in the workplace, they have to focus on their careers. Faced with these problems, although South Korea has introduced a number of encouraging policies such as reducing housing costs and giving birth to children free of rent, it still fails to fundamentally solve the problem of low fertility rate, and the number of newborns born every year is still very small.

Compared with before, in recent years, many women all over the world put their jobs first in the pursuit of economic independence. Coupled with the endless negative cases about marriage, many women have lost interest in marriage and children and started to get used to and enjoy the happiness and happiness of being single. Generally speaking, the low fertility rate is a problem that South Korea or other countries cannot directly solve at present. If this continues, the aging population will become more and more serious, and the global population will continue to decline, which will have many negative effects.
