:apa: スプリットショックウイルス †But for how long? In Feb this year their healhcare workers all went on strike because there is a shortage of workers. Korea's population is in the highest decline of developed Asian countries. And when the population ages they need more healthcare, whose's going to be the doctor when you retire? I usually look at Japan and a lesser extent Korea as not an example, but more like a glimpse at what we are going to turn into in like 40 years.
Like what's the point living long if you don't have any children to replace you? Why do they have high life expectancy but then don't have children, they're obviously not dying, they don't have an excuse and all the countries China and Japan are in the same situation. It's not just a healthcare issue it's a general spending issue. Who pays for infrastructure (trains) if there is less people to use them? If you want an American example go look at Social Security, it's not even mismanaged but it's going to go bankrupt because we assumed the population would just grow forever.
Anyways I can't talk too much more on this though I'd like to because I need to go lift weights so I don't become a fattass and have a heart attack at 35.
