※ This video is part of the June 20, 2024 broadcast of <EBS Anniversary Special: A Conversation with Joanne Williams - Wow! South Korea is Completely Ruined>. “Wow! South Korea is Completely Ruined” Joanne Williams appears! Criticizes South Korea’s ultra-low birth rate problem and sharply analyzes why South Korea cannot help but become a country with an ultra-low birth rate. What will be the next one-liner following “Wow! South Korea is Completely Ruined”? In celebration of the 50th anniversary, we have specially invited Professor Joanne Williams, Professor Emeritus of the University of California, San Francisco School of Law and a world-renowned expert in the field of labor, to meet directly with Korean youth and talk about “ultra-low birth rate Korea.” Last year, Professor Joanne Williams became a hot topic when she reacted by grabbing her head with both hands after hearing that South Korea’s total fertility rate was 0.78 on EBS’s “Documentary K - Population Project Ultra-Low Birth Rate”. Professor Joan Williams will meet with the 2040 generation of Korea, including Lee Dong-soo, a "professional parenting leave taker" who stayed in the agency for 12 years after taking 3 years of parenting leave, a single young man contemplating marriage, and a working mom who returned to work for the first time after taking parenting leave, and have an in-depth discussion about the causes of Korea's low birth rate and solutions. The program was hosted by Professor Kim Young-mi of the Department of Sociology at Yonsei University. In particular, Professor Joan Williams left a sharp comment that followed "Wow, Korea is ruined." Curiosity is rising about what kind of one-line comment he left after meeting Korean youth in person after lamenting upon hearing about Korea's birth rate. ✔ Program name: EBS Inaugural Special Conversation with Joan Williams - Wow!
