==South Korea==
In [[South Korea]], the birth rate is down to 0.81 children per woman. South Korea actually has the lowest fertility rate in the entire industrialized world, and that rate is expected to keep dropping for at least several more years.
South Korea’s total fertility rate, the number of births from a woman in her lifetime, is now expected to drop from 0.78 in 2022 to 0.65 in 2025, according to the government’s Statistics Korea.
In a worst-case scenario, that rate could go as low 0.59 births per woman in 2026, the agency said.
