North Korea have more births than South Korea, having half of population. Capitalism is a demographic failure.
Yeah because people have few activities they can do for leisure compared to "the west", so sex it is.
Not having money/access to contraceptives probably doesn't help either
So having activities for leisure and money is a problem? Cause demography is the capitalistic problem. It consumes a population to produce leisures and money?
They also have an infant mortality rate of 17 per 1000 vs 2.5 per 1000 in South Korea. I don't think counting births is super useful here.
Infant mortality doesn't change the numbers a lot. North Korea have a much better demography than South Korea. Modern capitalism destroy the populations the embrace it.
