The article focuses on the extreme population responses implemented by the South Korean Government to address the demographic crisis resulting from the country's low fertility rate, which is the lowest in the world, and the projected hyper-ageing of the population by 2025. It mentions despite past success in achieving economic growth through a decline in the total fertility rate, South Korea is now grappling with the consequences of a rapidly ageing society.
