From One Child to Paid Marriages - Asia's Demographic Time Bomb.

From One Child to Paid Marriages - Asia's Demographic Time Bomb.
​
​Across Asia, two demographic titans, South Korea and China, are grappling with wildly different, yet equally impactful, population policies.

​In South Korea, a nation facing one of the world's lowest birth rates, the government is resorting to increasingly drastic measures, including paying people to get married and have children. We delve into the reasons behind this crisis, the financial incentives offered, and whether these efforts are actually working to reverse the trend. What are the social and economic implications of a rapidly aging population and a shrinking workforce?

​Meanwhile, in China, the legacy of the infamous One-Child Policy continues to unfold. Though officially ended, its ripple effects are still profoundly shaping Chinese society. We explore how this policy led to a skewed gender ratio, a rapidly aging population, and the "4-2-1" problem where one child is responsible for two parents and four grandparents. What are the long-term consequences for China's economy, social structure, and its future global standing?

​This video offers a compelling comparison of these two nations, highlighting the complex challenges and unexpected outcomes of governmental attempts to control population growth.
