      People have that attitude in Korea, now the average number of children per woman is 0.7

      Not per person, per woman

        Meeting people at work is the worst way to meet people.

        "Oh hey. Our major thing in common is that we’re both working for the same business.

        Lets hook up so that we can be constantly reminded of work when we see each other.

        On top of that: if we break up (which is highly likely) it’ll get awkward at the place where we gain money to pay for necessities."

        No thanks.

        Edit: Also the reason why Korea has a low birth rate isn’t due to “not dating at work”.

        1. That’s a good thing.

        2. Engaging in relationships at work can not benefit your future ability to care for potential offspring, only hurt that ability.

          Despite your downvotes, I actually agree it’s not a bad thing (especially from a global sustainability perspective) but a drop that sharp is causing huge problems in Korea
