    1. The chart looks like a boa constrictor swallowing a goat while.

      S. Korea vs. Japan will be interesting case studies on different approaches to handling demographic collapse when the dust clears, but Korea is an awful place to be a youngster right now, their culture has been very badly impacted by this.

      They are 20 years away from all the workers in that largest ever generation being retired. They will then deficit spend like crazy trying to keep the economy afloat under the weight of all those pensioners. 10 or so more years after that they will be out of resources and the entire country will implode.

      Young Koreans are already starting to see the writing on the wall and emigrating, making the crisis even worse in the process. And that’s only going to accelerate as the situation worsens.

      It’s really, really bad, and it’s probably too late to do anything about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if by the 2060s they become dependent on foreign aid to prevent their elderly from starving to death

      It’s such a slippery slope. 40% of South Korean Elderly live in poverty.

      – Old people outnumber younger kids.
      – Old people become a financial burden.
      – political parties in favor of increasing pensions take over.
      – Taxes on working class goes through the roof to fund old people.
      – Having kids becomes impossibly expensive…
      – The cycle repeats

      It’s going to happen to alot of countries **within our lifetime**. Alot of elderly refuse to retire.

      This is simply a preview of what awaits us worldwide. All educated rich countries experience demographic collapse. The only ones that don’t avoid collapse do so by keeping their peoples ignorant and fanatically religious.

    5. They’re gonna start doing what the cult was doing in Midsommar lol. Making the old people jump from a cliff.

    6. The crunch comes in 30 years when that bulge hits the top levels. That is going to be pricy having a huge percentage of elderly population with far less income generating folks below to support the cost. It’s a huge issue.
