New issue: Corée Affaires n°116 is out: "Health & Aging"
South Korea is going through one of the most significant demographic transitions in the world. With a record-low birth rate and a rapidly aging population, the country is entering a new era in which health and aging are becoming major strategic issues, at the crossroads of the economy, the healthcare system, and social cohesion.
These are the challenges addressed in the 116th issue of Corée Affaires, the magazine published by the French-Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, available now.
An unprecedented demographic transition
By 2050, more than 40% of the Korean population is expected to be over 65. This rapid shift is placing considerable pressure on healthcare systems, labor markets, and public policy, calling for innovative, sustainable, and inclusive responses.
This issue offers a comprehensive overview of the challenges linked to this transformation:
- A special feature on the demographic transition and its economic, social, and healthcare implications
- An in-depth analysis of population aging and the structural challenges linked to low birth rates
- Insights into the transformation of healthcare systems and the shift toward preventive models
- A closer look at labor market evolution and senior employment in Korea
- An exploration of technological innovation, automation, and startup-driven solutions
- The Grand Interview with Jeong Eun Kyeong, offering key perspectives on public health policy and future priorities
- A discussion on retirement systems and the realities of senior employment
The magazine also covers economic, fiscal, and regulatory updates, along with broader societal transformations shaping Korea today.
