Population Pyramids 1950-2050
Demographic Transition Model
I believe that South Korea is in a Stage 4 DTM, entering a stage 5. As you can see in the statistics and population pyramids, both the CBR's and CDR's are low, due to good health care, stable resources, and also education and contraceptives. This causes a low NIR, or a small gap between the CBR and CDR in the DTM. As a projection, in the future, the birth rates will continue to decrease, and death rates may increase due to the return of infectious diseases. This will cause the CBR's to be lower than the CDR's which is how South Korea will enter stage 5 of the DTM, if it ever does.
