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?

It’s cultural.
The “[Sampo generation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampo_generation)” in South Korea refers to women who prioritize their careers over traditional family life, leading to lower birth rates. When women focus on their professional goals and delay or forgo marriage and children, it reduces opportunities for starting families at a younger age, resulting in a decline in overall births.
This trend is influenced by changing societal expectations in south korea, increased educational and career opportunities, high child-rearing costs, demanding work culture, and the challenges of work-life balance.
The combination of these factors contributes to a decrease in marriages and births, posing challenges for population growth, an aging population, and the sustainability of the social welfare system in South Korea.
