It seems like to me that women are getting educations but don't find work in South Korea. But they are able to leave the country to find work when they aren't hired domestically.
So I wonder if these numbers include Koreans living abroad.
Am I reading this right? Looks like SK is in for a whole lot of pain in the next 10-20 years with a population that is massively weighted towards older people, who are more likely to need care and services, and far fewer young people to be earning the money and paying the tax to fund it. Gulp.
