    I’d be willing to migrate as a skilled worker to some first world country desperate for tax payers and people who aren’t too socially repressed to have a family.

    But… naaah, I’m a dirty foreigner. What do I know? I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

      Would you want to work in a country that is known to have such a shitty work life balance that people aren’t having children because of it?

        I wasn’t even going to touch that. But yeah… Japan is kind of the same thing, I think China is going to start trying to get migrants desperately in the next couple of decades because of the one child policy working too well. But if they are kind of assholes about it, being racist and making life very hard to settle, what’s the point then?

      Idk about Korea but here it’s mostly because you can’t afford to. I could barely support myself and someone else (most of that cost would be rent which wouldnt even change, either) before bringing children (whole bunch of new costs) into the mix.

      I work a skilled job with half a decade of experience, and am in the correct salary range for the area, as well.
