率创新低据最新政府数据显示，韩国的生育率，即每名妇女的平均生育数量，在2018年降至0.98，可谓前所未有之低。此次下滑让韩国再次垫底发达国家出生率排行榜，就连长期深受该问题困扰的日本去年都以1.42的生育率高于韩国。生育率的暴跌让

韩国陷入诸多窘境，如经济放缓、债务增加以及养老金不足等。韩国政府豪掷数亿，出台了一系列措施，包括免费的日托服务和给准妈妈的现金激励，但收效甚微。加剧该趋势的一个主要因素为韩国女性的社会地位。在这个高度父权化的国度，许多女

性因顾虑工作场所的性别歧视问题选择晚婚晚育。不断攀升的房价和日益低迷的年轻人就业前景也无助于问题的解决。与当下情形截然不同的是，大概50年前，韩国还在努力应对人口过多的挑战。1960年，韩国女性的生育率高达6，彼时的韩国军政府通过推行绝育补贴和家庭计生政策来控制人口数量。拓展练习阅读
