Demographic catastrophe
Nation should focus on tackling low birthrate, population aging
The low birthrate and population aging issues have already reached a critical point in this country. According to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, 32.5 percent of registered residents were in their 40s and 50s as of June, up 2 million from December 2008. In contrast, those in their 20s and 30s accounted for 26.2 percent of the entire population, down 2.18 million from 2008. The average age of Koreans rose 6.4 years, from 37 to 43.4, during the same period. The proportion of senior citizens aged 65 and older is expected to climb from 15.7 percent in 2020 to 20.3 percent in 2025 and 43.9 percent in 2060.
