South Korea’s population has been declining for years, at one of the fastest rates in the world.
It’s a result of a plummeting fertility rate.
Women of child-bearing age are having fewer children.
Years of financial incentives have failed to encourage couples to have babies.
And a recent central bank report suggests the pressure on young people to compete is to blame.

Al Jazeera’s Eunice Kim reports from Seoul, South Korea.
