South Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world (0.72 children per woman). In fact, for the second straight year, sales of dog strollers have outpaced sales of baby strollers, and pet food is outselling powdered baby formula.
President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared that the low fertility rate is a “demographic national emergency.”
Yoon and his wife have no children. But they do own 10 cats and dogs.
