The number of people aged 65 and above in South Korea is expected to account for nearly half of the population by 2072, more than twice the global average, due to a low birth rate and accelerating aging, according to data released by the National Statistical Office on Tuesday。
The data also predicts that by 2072, the proportion of South Koreans under the age of 14 will increase from 10 percent this year.6%降至6.At 6%, the government will continue to find ways to increase the birth rate。In addition, the share of the working-age population aged 15 to 64 in 2072 is expected to rise from 70 this year.2%降至45.8%。The National Statistical Office says the demographic crisis will lead to a heavier burden on young people。
In 2017, the population aged 65 and above accounted for more than 14% of the total population, and South Korea has entered an aging society。According to Yonhap,South Korea is expected to become a super-aged society by 2025, when the proportion of people aged 65 and over is expected to increase to 20%。
In addition to the rising base of the elderly population, on the other hand, many South Koreans reaching retirement age also need to earn a living because they do not have a reliable source of income to maintain economic stability。
Earlier, data released by the National Statistical Office showed thatIn the first half of this year, the employment rate of South Koreans aged 70 and older exceeded 30 percent for the first time, hitting a record high。Among respondents aged 55 to 79 who plan to continue working, 55.Eight percent said they planned to delay retirement to make up for a shortfall in pension income。
As for older workers, they rarely have access to stable, high-paying jobs。Currently, the government provides part-time jobs for the elderly, but most government-funded positions pay between 290,000 and 760,000 won a month and are mostly low-skilled。
