These countries must invest in ectogenesis. I really don't understand why this is never talked about when the low fertility rate in the developed world is discussed.

South Korea has invested billions in trying to have its fertility rate increase by giving incentives to couples, it has only worsen.

We must get to the idea that it will be almost impossible in the developed world to get back to a fertility rate above 2.

Ectogenesis can be one of the solution.

You'd have to know the fundamental reason why people in SK (or anywhere) aren't having kids. Maybe it's women not wanting to be pregnant or give birth but maybe it's not - if it's for example, people aren't up for the investment that kids require then ectogenesis will get you nowhere.
