eli5: why is South Korea’s birth rate falling harder than other developed countries?

Question

I’ve read some explanations for their falling birth rate. What I don’t understand is, other developed countries also have those problems, their birth rates are low as well, but why are they not as low as SK’s?

In: 2587

Answer 1

People already discussed more than enough cultural problems. I want to add that there is a line of thinking in Koreans about whether it is really a morally justifiable choice to create another human being and force him or her to suffer the way you already did.
