South Korea’s very high rate of female suicide.

South Korea also has an ultra low birth rate.

I do not think this is a coincidence.

If people are not happy, they may not wish to bring more children into this world.

I heard precisely the same when interviewing Iranians.

Great to see our research in today's @guardian Leader by @pollytoynbee. The social contract between the generations has frayed. The young are the new poor and brave government interventions are needed.

Population ageing also challenges the unpaid production of households: Fukuda Setsuya identifies a huge gap between supply and demand of services produced by unpaid work. https://t.co/3yjOE8ASYH

Gender differences in unpaid work are not (only) about sharing: Considerable gender exist even among singles: men do much less.
However, mothers do the bulk of the additional unpaid work with the arrival of a child. (Tanja Istenic at NTA 2014) https://t.co/fh0afR7tQs

Unpaid work for other households is an important type of intergenerational support.
But it is very difficult to measure. @elisrenteria from @CEDemografia compares data from time use surveys and @SHARE_MEA https://t.co/KNj3Qo5wrl

Staatliche Pensionen beruhen nicht auf dem #Generationenvertrag, sondern hebeln diesen aus, meint @BernhardHam.
Staatliche Leistungen für die Bevölkerung im Ruhestand müssen durch entsprechenden Investitionen in die nächste Generation gedeckt sein. https://t.co/dAsfevpfNv

Germany: Population ageing results in shortages of skilled labour and is particularly severe in hospitals, long-term care and childcare.
The (unpopular but efficient) solution: Working longer

Ein paar unangenehme Ansagen meinerseits via @faznet :
Wie umgehen mit dem Arbeitskräftemangel?
Wer eine höhere Erwerbsbeteiligung von Frauen will, muss die #Kinderbetreuung deutlich ausbauen und an das #Ehegattensplitting ran. Wir brauchen auch…

Pensionen und Bevölkerungsalterung: Eine riesige Belastung für Junge und trotzdem Altersarmut.
Sehr gute Doku über die Probleme im Pensionssystem und wir dagegen tun können.

Tonight we’ll be discussing the cost of living crisis and its disproportionate impact on younger generations.

Most young people can’t save: what problems is this storing up? And what can we do about it?
