  1. I hope that is the case. If jobs are mobile then why is having kids a problem? Take a fews off and then return or go to a different company. The problem with the big companies is the mandatory retirement. You spent into your mid twenties on school, college and military. You get a job at 26 if you didn’t retake the college exam. Only to have to retire at 55. And now instead of 60’s people live to 80’s. Before people had a few kids in the current job market with the current irrationally increased salary so could give their elders allowance. Now they could have saved half their income and still not afford to buy noodles. Not that they did they threw all their money into the one or two kids they patriotically stopped at. Not that they spent with any of them. If they were not at work their kids was in mandatory after school study. If half the money spent on hagwons in Samsung stock the kids could leave home with a house and it would not matter what school they went to. The Korean government asked a lot of people through the late 90’s. The public isn’t going to work hard to make it easy on them. Their grandparents were taken to the cleaners obeying the government, dictator, etc.. housing increasing 40% in 5 years is not sign of a positive economy. Housing falling .2% in a month isn’t a sign of negative economy. Before they promised housing if you got sterilized. Now they open a kid cafe to encourage births. Good gosh! Further there is no war or occupation in memory. There was for the grandparents who sacrificed having kids, time with kids, saving anything for their retirement and risking their necks in military service and losing 3 years at that time in mandatory military. A couple at a company during the financial crisis married and one was forced to give up their job. Five years later they were not opening up positions for those let go. Soon every couple with kids will inherit two family homes. So the next generation is set. Unless they tear down and don’t rebuild to shorten supply. Cause God forbid the price of an apartment go down .2% in a month. 40% rise in 5 years and no one’s child will be able to buy in adulthood. That is not good. Thousands a year wasted and 50 hours of time wasted on English in middle and high school so the brightest can leave the country and study work abroad, or go on vacation a few times. Why is it on the Korean college entrance exam? College in Korea is conducted in Korean. So much of the household budget going to learn things for the sake of a test. It’s fine it’s a subject in school. It’s just too much and irrelevant. If workers can’t go home at 6 hire more. There is an unemployment problem. You have the people. The real problem is that Apple isn’t run by family why is Samsung? We have seen the Korean Air sisters and mother behaving badly. The Kdrama’s do not exaggerate.
