Comments by "" (@MayaTheDecemberGirl) on "How Koreans Feel About Birth Rate Crisis | Street Interview" video.

In Poland birth rate per woman is currently 1,475 (so it's still much better than in Korea, although definitely not enough). I'm also from Poland, and I think it doesn't look like in the comment above, maybe in some cases, but not in all. A lot of people have quite good jobs. But they still don't want to have many children, very few have more than two, from different reasons. And of course, in our country most of people, so both men and women, do work. Because one have to work up till certain age to be able to receive own retirement pension later (it's a system of public retirement insurances). As a woman I would also be afraid not to work, to quit a job and be totally dependent only on a man, I think it would be irresponsible (because various things may happen in life, like a partner's death, illness, unemployment, divorce etc., then a woman will stay with nothing, no job, no proffessional experiences, no retirement pension etc.). But in the whole EU, unlike in some other countries, we have quite good system of maternity and parental leaves, leaves in case of a child is sick and others. So there are regulations aimed at safeguarding somehow the work-life balance, also to enable a woman's come back to work after having a child. So the topic of people not wanting to have many children, and it goes for both, so men and women actually, is much more complicated. Solutions are also not easy.

It's not only about number of births itself. But about the demographic structure of the whole society - so there must be more people working than those who are inactive proffessionally, to be able to survive.

@O.Oxximsly I would prefer to stay single to the rest of my life that to be forced to marry, not to be able to have a normal relationship before my own decision to marry someone or to do this when I'm not ready and don't want to yet. It must be not easy. If You are young, maybe there's a way You could somehow come to Europe, maybe to our country or some other, for instance to study here. Quite a lot of foreigners come here also to work, in various companies.

@Volkbrecht That's true, it may indeed be also like this, in not so rare cases. And also without people's aware decision and their will about it, it just happens. And it's not easy, for sure. But also we can see nowadays that in the younger generations, being now in their twenties, there are more people saying they don't want to have in future any children at all. And also in fact there are really few families who have more than two children. Many people, since longer, have only one child or at most two (in case of majority of eople I know it's actually like this). By the way, I also don't have any brothers or sisters. However, immigration policy, especially such as is being forced currently in the EU (so accepting big waves of illegal immigrants, coming from all over the world, very often from cultures hostile towards European values, culture and even legal order) is not any solution, but it only brings more serious problems and threats, especially now when there are also so many serious risks coming from hostile undemocratic regimes.

But a South Korean living in our country, in Poland - who has also a YouTube channel, and who got married in Poland and lives here since many years (also his Korean parents are living with him in Poland) - he has three children. So above average.
6
That's true. But the best thing is to be able to combine both, so having family and a proffession, a job.
5
The person above is some kind of troll.
5
But people need to find a job later, to be able to earn for their living, especially if they don't live in the capital and don't finish an university. That's the problem.
5
Just to add: In Poland current (2024) fertility rate per woman is 1,475. Such data I found. So it's definitely not enough to have replacement of generations, but it's still much better than in South Korea.
5
@GetUnwoke It's not like that. Most of the modern, developed countries, including those the richest as well, have problems with low birth rate. So it's not at all like this. And about immigration, it poses many, also very complicated problems, which we can see for instance in Western European, also in some Scandinavian, countries. So the authorities must think over really carefully about sound, wise, appropriate immigration policy, not resulting in severe risks and problems.

@daisies___ That's true. Even if someone has children, various things may happen in life. Someone may loose contact with his children, from many reasons, children may move to another end of the world etc. However, the general demographic structure of the society is important - so that there's more proffessionally active people than those who are not. It's vital to the functioning of a state and whole society.
4
But also the mortility rate must be taken into account. And not only because of bad living conditions, but also because of genocide, purges, gulags, tortures, forced labour, famine etc.
3
@Cxs1a3 Yeah, all women are just horrible, indeed. And men are so better. LMAO. Not that everyone are firstly human beings, that should treat the others like they would like to be treated themselves. With such attitude towards women, no wonder there's low birth rate, really.
3
What a "paradise". But somehow all other European countries wanted the communism to fall, including ordinary workers.
2
@Tito_michi LOL. What a "paradise". They have also a totalitarian state, schools where children are taught mainly rubbish about how to worship their dictator, purges, genocide, gulags, forced labour, tortures, terror, totalitarian control over people's lives, massive system of denunciations, very often fake ones, lack of basic goods, empty shelves in shops (unless you're a communist prominent), and so many other "wonderful" things under such a regime. We in Europe experienced all these communist "good" ourselves, since the very beggining of communism, especially during Stalinist times, and for next 50 years. So we know very well how the reality of such states look like. Although in Europe it was still much better than in North Korea.
2
Yes, it's often like this. If a woman has a stable relationship/marriage, with a trustworthy partner, being able to earn for living of the family (but also not in such a way that he is not a part of a family, but has to work as slave for long hours everyday, not being able to spent time at home, with his family) - then she is more willing to have more children. But in really rare cases it works like that. Usually both of the parents just have to work. And in that case there should be proper labor regulations, safeguarding women the ability to combine being a mother and working, like protection of their posts while being pregnant, safeguarding the ability to return to work after maternity leave, appropriate system of paid leaves, work conditions etc. And a woman should have a choice if she wants to come back to work, always. Because she also may just don't want to become completely dependent on her partner.
2
@I_am_Raziel With North Korea it's not so easy for sure. Even if they have birth rate per women higher, one must also take into account the rate of deaths. And it's a country where it's not stable (not mentioning generally bad living conditions, like it is in such countries), because there happen such things as purges, genocide, famine etc. And generally we don't know what the future will bring.
2
@rohj4825 Even if you have children, you can never be sure what will happen in life. Someone may lose contact with his children, from different reasons, children may move to the other end of the world etc. Various things happen in life. After all parents don't own their children. And someone may also save money for his/her retirement. So it's not a problem of individual person having children or not. What's important is general demographic structure of the whole society - so having more those who are proffessionally active, pay taxes and so on, than those who are not. But I can understand also the point of view of the person who wrote the comment above.
2
But they need especially jobs in such areas. And other infrastructure, like schools, universities etc.
2
LOL. In Russia, traditional values. You know nothing about this country (or You're Russian troll, worshiping their regime). Such "traditional values" as mass genocide on civilians, one big alcoholism hopelessness and brainwashed people treated like "meat", serving the authoritarian regime. Really great values, indeed.
2
That's true.
1
About North Korea it's not enough to talk only about the number of births. Because one should also take into account the number of deaths in such a totalitarian country, also because of genocide, purges, bad conditions of living, gulags, forced labour, famine etc.
1
They also don't have high birt rate at all. And in case of such totalitarian country one should also take into account how many people die there. Not only because of bad living conditions, but also because of purges, in gulags, because of starvation and other atrocities that repeat in such a state.
1
@HIMANSHU79879 Of course, low birth rate influences state's security and future, in many ways. Or rather not only birth rate itself, but general demographic structure of the whole society. It's obvious that it's essential to have in the society more those who are proffessionally active, who pay taxes etc., than those who are not. Lack of appropriate demographic structure will have results in many spheres of their living.
1
@HIMANSHU79879 Actually, it's a problem in more countries, probably in almost all or even all developed ones. But in SK it looks much worse than in the others.
1
@HIMANSHU79879 According to data accessible in Internet, in Japan fertility rate is currently 1,374 births per woman (in South Korea 0,68). To compare, in my country it's currently 1,475. So in Japan, in my country also, it's also not enough, but for sure better than in SK. And generally to safeguard replacement of generations there should be more than two children per a couple (even two is currently not enough, because always not all will have children). But it's not possible that people will have nowadays so many children, in most of the cases. In some of the developing countries they have more (not in all of them, because for instance some of the South American also have low birth rate), but in these countries also the mortality is bigger (so in such countries birth rate alone is also not enough, if for instance many of people die there, even in young age).
1
@HIMANSHU79879 No, of course I'm not from Japan. After all I've written above data for my country, different from those for Japan (accessible in Internet). And about immigration, it's completely different, and also complicated issue, with many serious problems, especially in Europe. To have a sound immigration policy, not posing risks to public order and state's security, is not an easy task at all. And birth rate of own nation is not the same as accepting sudden great numbers of immigrants (mostly illegal economic ones, not any refugees), especially if these immigrants later don't intend to adapt at all and don't accept (or sometimes even are hostile towards), values, culture and even legal order of the welcoming state, or come just to live of social benefits there. And also, when we're at potential risk of war (that came back after some decades), such hostile regimes, as Russian and Bellarusian, are using illegal immigrants, bringing many of them from all over the world at the external borders of the EU (in several countries), to bring chaos and destabilise situation, firstly at the borders, and then within the countries. It actually happens currently, all the time. So there are a lot of very serious problems about proper, sound, wise, safe immigration policy, at least in Europe. It's not easy. So a lot of people from Europe write, at different channels, that the immigration policy in their countries is completely wrong and brought only problems.
1
But mass immigration can also cause numerous, very serious problems and pose many serious risks, like situation in part of European countries already shows. So it requires really sound, wise policy. And it's not always so easy. Otherwise new problems, risks, threats to public order and state's security may arise.

GoralischeSS By the way: only trolls, usually financed by Russia, can use such shameful name of an account and image. Gloryfying nazism is a crime, in almost all, or even all, European countries, prohibited under the penal codes.
1
Well, we don't know if these ancestors, living now and having choice like today, would really like to have so many children like they used to in the past. And they had more children, but the mortality of children was also higher. As well as there was just no such access to contraceptives like today.
1
It's not only about some physical workers. But generally about proper demographic structure - so more of those who are proffessionally active, who earn money, who pay taxes andcso on, than those who are not.
1
It's just not true. Low birth rate is characteristic nowadays for most of the developed countries. Not only so-called "West" (and calling so many various countries generally as West is also strange). I don't call other countries as "East", but with their names. I've read that even China has nowadays problems with demography, having to little children in comparison to old generations.
1
GoralischeSS There's so many trolls nowadays in Internet. More and more of them, very strange one also. In fact only trolls, usually financed by Russia, with all her sick propaganda, can use such shameful name of an account and image. Gloryfying nazism is a crime, in almost all, or even all, European countries, prohibited under the penal codes.
1
They also don't have good demographic situation. From different reasons.
1
@I_am_Raziel Yeah, North Korea is the worst country to live in. But there are some another also very bad.
1
@I_am_Raziel It depends. Often You cannot leave a muslim country, if You are a woman. And in many countries women are treated even worse than in North Korea, not only in Afghanistan. And we all have seen people trying to escape desperately, hanging from the planes, when the USA left suddenly, leaving all there from day to day. So Afghanistan is definitely also a hell on Earth. And probably there are more countries also. North Korea is also a hell. I know very well the reality of the communist state from experiences of my country (50 years of communism, like half of Europe in the times of the Iron Curtain). But in my country it was never as bad as in North Korea, probably even in half not so bad (although there were also many atrocities happening, for years).
1
@MR-mc5xg Exactly. It's not at all about women themselves. It's very often men nowadays who don't want to have any family at all, no children. Because they just want to enjoy their own life, not taking responsibility for anyone.
1
But Germany did this no sooner than after the fall of the communism in Europe, including DDR. Without this, it was impossible. So it's completely uncomparable.
1
@unlikelychanged4392 It's impossible, until there's dictatorship and a totalitarian, communist state and system. That's obvious.
1
GoralischeSS Only some trolls, usually financed by Russia, with all their harmful propaganda, can use such a shameful name of account and image. Gloryfying nazism is a crime, in almost all, or even all, European countries, prohibited under the penal codes. Hope my comment won't be deleted - it shouldn't be, because it just requires appropriate comment.
1
GoralischeSS I do cry and feel really sorry for a poor person using such a name of an account and image (and gloryfying nazism is a crime in almost all, or even all, European countries, prohibited under the penal codes).
1
GoralischeSS I do cry and feel really sorry for such a poor person using such an account name and image. Unfortunately, I can't write more (also about criminal law), because comments disappear.
1
GoralischeSS It's obvious that You're some kind of troll, selling fake propaganda, maybe financed by Russia (after all, there are many of them in social media nowadays).
1
GoralischeSS It's obvious that You're just some kind of troll, financed, selling fake, harmful propaganda (after all, there are so many of them in social media active currently).
1
GoralischeSS Yeah, all the trolls like here, of strange origin, can nowadays sell so much fake, harmful propaganda and lies on Internet. Unfortunately, I can't answear to this, because comments are disappearing, which just shouldn't be happening.
1
GoralischeSS We all know that nowadays Russian regime, or some trolls financed by them, sell such propaganda about other European countries.
1
GoralischeSS Just another Russian troll propaganda.
1
Just another Russian troll propaganda.
1
GoralischeSS Yeah, definitely You're a troll.
1
GoralischeSS That's You, that's right.
1
 @Anisha66666 You are so right.
1
Yeah, but in that case children usually stay in another country and become part of foreign populations.
1
Please don't write such untrue things about generally "white race". Because not all European countries have colonial past, not all of them had ever any overseas colonies. My country never had any. So just write about history of Your own country, not generally and artificially about history of whole "race". History of many European countries is completely, totally different.
1
GoralischeSS Yeah. And Russia bringing peace and "true values" to the world. Like always.
1
@mcbeenerd Sorry. Maybe I didn't understand this. And maybe I'm also a bit sensitive about and tired of all that apologies in name of the whole so-called "white race" (consisting after all of so many different countries, with their own history), that I've met already in comments of people at some other channels as well.
1
It's completely not like this. In most of the developed countries it's very often that both men and women don't want to have nowadays many children. Very few have more than two, probably majority have just one. And the youngest generations say more and more often that they even don't want any children. From different reasons, because it's for sure not only about issue of not having enough money to raise a child.
1
Yeah. It's not enough, because a child, a human being, has also soul, personality, mind that is after all shaped in particular by their parents.
1
@yeedbottomtext7563 I don't know what You're writing about. Of course, in what I write above there's nothing about accepting such immigration policy as we can see currently in the EU, so about accepting big waves of illegal immigrants, in fact in a completely uncontrolled way, which obviously can bring serious risks to state's security and public order and is just wrong, as we all can see. That's obvious.
1
Wow, what a bunch of rubbish. And how completely ignorant. Christianity and communism and LGBT - as a cause and result. You have even no idea what communism means. And also the more Christian, especially Catholic, society is, the more they are against LGBT being promoted, like in other countries. But the most hilarious thing (although there are more like this) is combining Christianity and communism together, while religion, in particular Christianity (but not only, because other religions also), is seen by communists as their greatest obstacle, enemy, that should be totally eradicated and destroyed. Just learn more about history and sorrounding reality.
1
Yeah, and there will be one big chaos and plenty of new, serious risk, threats and problems. Immigration requires really wise, sound policy, not just opening the borders to everyone.
1
GoralischeSS By the way: only trolls, usually financed by Russia, may use such a shameful name of an account and image. Gloryfying nazism is a crime, prohibited under the penal codes in almost all, or even all, of the European countries.

Why the comments are deleted. It's unnaceptable that one cannot respond to someone using accounts gloryfying nazism (which is a crime in almost all, or all, European countries, under the penal codes).
