Worst Korea: Number of Babies Born Outside of Marriage Reached Unprecedented 4.7% in 2023

The Korean “Slutpocalypse” continues!

No survivors!

Korea Times:

More babies in Korea are born to parents who are not legally married, and the ratio of births occurring outside of marriage hit a record high of 4.7 percent in 2023, data showed Wednesday.

The data Statistics Korea released comes as the number of marriages in Korea plummeted 40 percent from 2013 to 2023, leading to a decrease in the country’s overall birthrate.

The agency said a total of 230,000 babies were born last year, down 7.7 percent from 2022.

The 2023 figure also marked the lowest since the agency began compiling relevant data in 1970.

On the other hand, 10,900 infants, or 4.7 percent of the 230,000 newborns, were extramarital births.

“Shamefur!”

The rate is the highest to date, steadily increasing from 2.1 percent in 2013 to 2.5 percent in 2020, 2.9 percent in 2021 and 3.9 percent in 2022.

“The increase in births outside of marriage is mainly attributable to the high cost of marriage and changing social norms,” Statistics Korea said.

Ya think?

(Actually, the economic thing is total bullshit, as Anglin has explained – but it is definitely changing social norms, which have validated a slutpocalypse. I blame the new nigger-tier K-pop that has emerged in the last 10 years.)

It pointed out that a total of 193,673 marriages were reported in 2023, slightly higher than the 191,690 marriages reported a year earlier but 40 percent lower than 322,807 in 2013.

Last year, more than 30 percent of those in their 20s or 30s cited “lack of money” was a reason for not getting married.

The average age of women giving birth in 2023 reached a record high of 33.6, up by 0.1 from a year earlier. The average age of fathers was 36.1.

Under these circumstances, the number of births dropped for the eighth consecutive year in 2023 to 230,000, down 47.3 percent from 436,455 tallied in 2013.

The country’s fertility rate, which had already been the world’s lowest, fell to 0.72 in 2023.

It could also be, you know.

That thing everyone got injected with.

That doesn’t seem to have helped with birthrates.

And the fact that “South Koreans” are still wearing masks at a very high rate (because they are deranged) is definitely is not helping with the social fabric.
