South Korea is facing a severe population crisis with the average fertility rate dropping to 0.72 in 2023, expected to decline to 0.65 by 2025. Scholars warn of national endangerment if the trend continues. President Yoon Suk-yeol declared a 'population emergency' and initiated nationwide measures to address the issue, focusing on work, childcare, and housing to alleviate burdens on young people and boost the fertility rate.
