One in five South Koreans is now aged 65 or older, the government said Tuesday.



The long-expected milestone officially makes the East Asian nation a "super-aged society," according to the United Nations benchmark, joining neighboring Japan, which passed the 20-percent threshold in 2006 and is likewise grappling with falling birth and marriage rates.

The long-term economic impact, coupled with a plummeting birth rate, have policymakers worried, and an increasingly desperate Seoul has this year announced a wave of regulations, and announced a new ministry to spearhead efforts to address the demographic crisis.

The proportion of South Koreans who are 65 or older stands at 10.24 million, local media cited the country's interior ministry as saying, making up 20 percent of the 51.22 million population and twice as many as in 2008. Among this age grouping, 5.69 million are women and 4.54 million men.

South Jeolla Province, the country's southernmost region, bears the distinction of the oldest major area, with 27 percent of its population being classified as elderly. Meanwhile, the de facto administrative capital of Sejong in central South Korea is the youngest with just 11.57 percent being elderly.

Send in the US Marines, they will have Best Korea repopulated in no time. ;)

In Korea family ties means a great deal as well as racial purity......I guess they had enough of the Japanese breeding everything in sight as a Protectorate of Japan.....Come to that the Japs are in bad shape birth rate wise too.

I guess they would rather fizzle-out than allow 10 million Indians into Korea.
 
it does not help that you are executed for watching a tv show outside of N.Korea, people are starving and I am sure disease is rampant

this is what isolation does

South Korea embraced abortion, no resrictions.

Every country has a right to self-determination....Till they step on another country's toes in doing so.

Actually, there is a big market in S. Korea for Filipina Mail Order Brides.
