"Is it really okay to have kids?"… Why Korean youth are so divided [Two Perspectives] : Nate News
Marriage intention among unmarried/non-marrying respondents in Korea is 52.9%, the highest among surveyed countries. Conversely, birth intention is 31.2%, lower than Sweden, France, and Germany. The average number of planned children for those intending to give birth is 1.74, the lowest among the five countries. Regarding the impact of children on life, 'Joy and satisfaction increase' was highest in Korea at 74.3%, but 'Economic burden increases' was also highest at 92.7%.
"The thread is a battlefield between those who think Korea's hyper-competitive 'hell-gate' makes having kids a sin, and others who think it's just a matter of grit and avoiding social comparison. Meanwhile, some trolls are just here to remind everyone that 'the act' is still important."
