The phrase "South Korea has no first graders" had such "the west has fallen (mom took away my PSP)" energy I had to do a little digging to see if the numbers were being fudged - 157 elementary schools is about 2.5% of the elementary schools in ROK assuming this data from the ROK Ministry of Education is accurate. Not an insignificant percentage for something this crazy, but I'd like to see this data over time. I worry I sound like I'm awarding Pinocchios but it irks me to see that headline presented as if it's the majority of schools
I think shit's like actually dire in this regard in South Korea to the point I do not understand how this isn't being handled in any way. Going by current predictions in about 50 years there's only going to be half the population left and the average age is going to be 61. That is not a workeable state. They either need to fix their boning problems yesterday or become a nation of immigrants
If the Korean government decides to change the workplace and social culture to encourage life outside of work, the line will not go up as fast. Hope this helps.

Aiming for that _/\ line
EDIT: Actually in a weird way I respect treating your entire state like a rental car. Sorry for all the people there that will die though.
