South Korea risks a major population crash as the country marks its second consecutive year with the world's lowest fertility rate

the south Korean government:

"We really need to fix our population decline."

"sir we've tried this before and you've refused to acknowledge any of the problems."

"Of course I have! I'm always open to suggestions."

"alright so can I list off the problems that plague our country?"

"Go ahead."

"Well sir we've slowly turned into one of the most blatantly xenophobic countries around, so much so that we keep asking students from other places to join us and then literally everyone is almost casually racist towards them. So nobody wants to ever settle down here. A lot of hotel or rental services are blatantly horrible and refuse to accept foreigners even willing to pay double what their tennates usually do. Also, they aren't even allowed to go to bars without extreme harassment. So opening the country is blatantly not working."

"ok"

"We also have general problems online as well, with some South Koreans openly attacking cultures and other countries around-"

"so if I'm understanding correctly-"

"We have one of the most competitive work cultures out there. We aren't allowed any rest and people don't even have times to build relationships. We just work ourselves to death and most elderly are still working.."

"Sir if we keep going at this rate, the population is on a steady decline."

"Damn, that's crazy."

"So what are we gonna do about it sir?"

"-if only there was someway to fix the rapid population decline."
