Passage1

For years, South Korea has struggled with a growing demographic crisis. The country's fertility rate has

repeatedly hit record lows, and ranks near the bottom of the lowest fertility rates in the world. Meanwhile,

South Korea's population continues to age, sending the country into a demographic decline.

There were only 275,815 births, a record low -- compared to 307,764 deaths, a 3.1% increase in

fatalities from the previous year. This is the first time South Korea has hit the "population death cross,"

when the number of deaths surpasses births, the ministry said in a news release -- and the first time the total

population has shrunk.

The population continues to age rapidly, the census showed: 32.7% of people are in their 40s and 50s,

and nearly a quarter are over the age of 60.

"The constant decline in birth rate shows that low birth rate remains as a big issue in Korea," the release

said. "There needs to be a fundamental change in the governmental policies such as welfare, education, and

national defense, accordingly."

There is a a major reason for population decline -- one being a demanding work culture that makes it

difficult to balance careers with family life.

There is also a trend to delay or avoid marriage. Among those who were not dating, 51% of men and

64% of women said they chose not to date so they can enjoy their hobbies or focus on education. Many say

they just don't have the time, money, or emotional capacity to go on dates.

More recently in December, the government released its 4th Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Aging

Society, which lays out their plans for population policy over the next five years, including offering cash

bonuses for childbirth, subsidies for childcare, and expanded benefits for multi-child families, except that

the government lowered maximum working hours from 68 hours a week to 52 hours last year in 2018

Passage 2

Grammys postpone 2021 ceremony over Covid-19 concerns

The 2021 Grammys, originally scheduled for January 31st, have been postponed due to concerns over

the spread of Covid-19. In a statement released Tuesday evening, organizers, citing “thoughtful

conversations with health experts, our host and artists scheduled to appear,” confirmed that they’ll stage

the award show on Sunday, March 14th.

"The deteriorating COVID situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs

having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude
