This 15-minute video from Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell examines South Korea's unprecedented demographic crisis. Explore the country's record-low fertility rate and rapidly aging population, which are creating a perfect storm of economic decline, shrinking cities, cultural erosion, and workforce depletion. Learn why by 2060, nearly half of South Koreans could be over 65, with entire regions potentially abandoned as the population continues to shrink. Discover the factors that led to this demographic collapse, why reversing the trend may no longer be possible, and what implications this holds for other countries following similar demographic patterns. The video includes comprehensive sources and further reading materials for those interested in deeper exploration of this critical global issue.
