Key Insights

ECONOMICS
  • Excellent Data Quality
    Korea’s GDP and population datasets are both rated A-grade in quality and are therefore very reliable sources for economic and demographic analysis.

  • GDP Size and Growth
    Korea is the world’s 15th largest economy by GDP (PPP), based on World Bank data and IMF growth estimates. CAGR over the past decade has been 2.4%, which is moderate globally. It has fallen to 1.9% over the past three years. Korea ranks 13th in its share of the past decade of global growth.

DEMOGRAPHICS
  • Falling Fertility leading to Depopulation:
    Korea’s fertility rate has been below the replacement threshold (2.1%) since the 1980s. It is currently estimated to be 0.7%, which is the second lowest globally. By 2050, it is projected to be 0.3%. Due to decades of low fertility, Korea’s is estimated to have begun depopulating in 2020. The total population currently totals 52 million, falling to a projected 42 million by 2050. Korea’s working-age population is estimated to have started declining in 2017. It currently totals 36 million, falling to a projected 22 million by 2050. Korea’s life expectancy has been rising and currently stands at 84.5 years, which is the third highest globally. Consequently, Korea’s retiree population is projected to rise from the current 11 million to 18 million by 2050. The Korean population is therefore rapidly aging.

  • Third Lowest Worker-to-Retiree Ratio Globally by 2050:
    The converging demographic trends discussed above – falling fertility and increasing life expectancy – are leading to an extraordinary decline in Korea’s ratio of workers per retiree. In 1950, Korea had nearly 20 working-age individuals available to support each of its retirees. Today, there are estimated to be only 3.4 working-age individuals per retiree. By 2050, it is projected to be just 1.3. This is even more alarming when we consider the number of working-age individuals actually in active employment. Korea’s worker to retiree ratio was estimated to be nearly 8.8 in 1981 (the first date where data is available). Today, it is estimated that only 2.3 workers support each retiree. By 2050, it is projected there may be fewer than one worker supporting each Korean retiree – the ratio being 0.85. That would be the third lowest ratio globally.

  • Unfunded Debt
    Korea’s government debt-to-GDP ratio is relatively low at 43%. However, on top of these explicit debts, governments have often made unfunded promises through social security schemes, including pensions, healthcare, and late-life care. The unfunded liabilities of Korea’s National Pension scheme stood at 84.8% of its GDP in a 2013 estimate. This unfunded debt, generated through Korea’s pay-as-you-go pension scheme, is likely only to increase alongside the ever-growing retiree population which is dependent on these “debts”.

GOVERNANCE
  • Good Governance
    Korea’s rating on the World Economics Governance Index was increasing from 2015 to 2018, when it was upgraded to A-grade. Since then it has been in decline but remains A-grade.

POPULATION DATA QUALITY

The Population Data Quality Rating is derived from three factors: a country's latest Census Year; its Capacity for producing statistical data; and its Registration of Births data. Read more...

The three components are weighted to form the Population Data Quality Index.
