By Anna Park. If Korea fails to raise the current birthrate — the lowest in the world — with appropriate policy measures, the country's growth rate may fall below zero percent by 2050 with its population dropping below 40 million by 2070, the central bank warned in a report. According to the report released by the Economic Research Institute of the Bank of Korea (BOK) on Sunday, the young generation's growing uncertainties over employment, housing and childcare are analyzed to be the primary causes of the country's severe low birth rate.
