Hurray! The fastest intergenerational population collapse in human history slowed down slightly.
Yes. The rewards for the incentive is very low but they are celebrating like mads.
12 to 18 months parental leave! We only have 6 months here and that is only for mothers. Being a father in India isn't given any such incentive. I've listened that S.Korea even provides free honeymoon trips.

It's pretty dire. There won't be a Korea after a couple more generations, at this rate. I'm not surprised they're making a big effort.
reply
Indeed.
And N. Korea is increasing its population because they know they'll have excess of land in forty fifty years.

Comparatively, N. Korea has grown much more slowly, since the division. I doubt they last long enough to take advantage of the fertility trends.
reply
Yes, but it hasn't declined and it's a positive. Plus, there's nothing for how many children can a couple have. I've studied a bit about demographics of N.K. and they aren't showing a negative picture. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/PRK/north-korea/population-growth-rate
