韩国已经成为一个“超老社会”, 超过20%的人口年龄在65岁及以上, South Korea has become a "super-aged society" with over 20% of its population aged 65 or older, driven by a low birth rate of 0.7 births per woman. 这标志着自2008年以来人口结构的迅速变化,当时老年人仅占10%。 This marks a rapid demographic shift since 2008, when the elderly constituted just 10%. 尽管政府努力提高出生率,但养育子女成本高和就业市场竞争激烈等因素阻碍了成功。 Despite government efforts to boost birth rates, factors like high child-rearing costs and competitive job markets have hindered success. 预计到2067年,人口将缩减至3 900万,中位年龄为62岁。 The population is projected to shrink to 39 million by 2067, with a median age of 62.
