Korea's presidential committee dedicated to addressing the aging society launched a policy planning team Monday, with the goal of strengthening inter-ministry ties on population policies amid the alarmingly low birthrate.The move came as Korea's total fertility rate, the average number of children a woman bears in her lifetime, hit a record low of 0.78 in 2022, much lower than the replacement level of 2.1 that would keep Korea's population stable at 51 million.The Presidential Committee on Aging Society and Population Policy noted the country is on course to enter a "super-aged" society in 2025, in which the proportion of seniors aged 65 and above hits 20 percent of the total population.The new team will be jointly led by the finance and health ministries, the committee added.The team will review and promote policies that not only tackle the low birthrate and address the challenges posed by an aging society but also effectively handle the changes within the population structure."We plan to thoroughly analyze and cope with the social-economic impacts and risks of the changing population structure," First Vice Finance Minister Bang Ki-sun, the co-head of the division, said in a statement, noting the government will announce details of the policies under preparation down the road.Only 21,138 babies were born in March this year, down 8.1 percent from a year earlier, the latest government data showed last month.

The guideline on postoperative delirium (POD) is an update of the previous guidelines published in this journal in 2017. The guidelines follow the GRADE methodology and comprehensively bring together evidence regarding risk stratification, detection, prevention, monitoring, and management of POD. Considering the rapidly ageing European population, with already 20% of the population over 65 increasing to 30% by year 2050, this update is welcome.
