#4I don't know the situation of South Korea to comment on this topic. But, with the corporate industries talking too much about transparency it seems no one has come to identifying the cause of wage gap. Why not make the salary transparent across the board and the employee performance in public (internal to company) as well? People or Management say it is complicated, but is it really?
This company Buffer appeared in HN for their transparency some while ago [https://buffer.com/salary-calculator/]
We can surely determine if the wage gap is because of sexual discrimination or just a little relaxed performance.

#5Before reading this I assumed the biggest reason for Korean birthrate decline was that they don't allow enough immigrants, which is how some other developed countries handle it.
I've heard only anecdotally from friends about the feminist movements and inequality faced, but the stats in this post sort of make clear the enormous problem of gender inequality in Korea. And furthermore it contrasts Korea with how other developed countries like Sweden and France handle this situation successfully.
Very good article. Hopefully things improve.

#6If your criteria for selecting a mate is based on having low empathy, low agreeableness, and a preference for prevailing and competing... guess what will happen when you suggest a person with these personality traits to help with house chores, help with taking care of children, etc.
What will happen is exactly what is expected to happen based on those personality traits: you will be playing "chicken" all the time with a person that always chooses to compete and you will always lose. "If you want those tasks done, do them yourself".
If only there was a solution for that :)
Hint: Don't get romantically involved with jerks

#10Social actions that lead to birth rate decline are a slippery slope that can be difficult to come back from without immigration. The economic conditions that have been forced on young people are bad enough for this. It will be a wait and see to witness if western nations are able to figure it out but so far many have thrown in the towel and are just relying on immigration now. Countries like Korea and Japan have so far resisted this in an attempt to keep their societies and cultures more homogenous, for which they have found many benefits.
