한국, 전세계에서 두 번째로 늙은 나라 된다 Korea to be the second oldest country in the world
South Korea is reportedly going to be the second oldest country in the world in 2060. This is because the speed at which the working age population decreases due to low birth rate and the aging of the society, and at which the ratio of old population increases is faster than in other countries. According to the data released by the Korea National Statistical Office, the ratio of the old population in South Korea has increased to 13.1% this year, which is 4.5 times higher when compared to the 1960’s. The Korea National Statistical Office predicted that this will continue to increase and reach 40.1% in 2060, which will be the second highest among 131 countries. On the contrary, the ratio of working age population has been on the decrease since 2012. This year, the ratio of working age population is 73.0%, but it is predicted to be 63.1% in 2030, and 49.7% in 2060.
