Korea Aging Faster Than Japan, US
Hankooki Apr 18 2004 11:46AM GMT...The UN forecast it will double by 2019, making South Korea one of the most aged societies in the world.

Pacific Business News, HI - April 19... non-salary workers accounted for 40 percent of South Korea's working population, up from 36 percent in 1997, compared to 16 percent in Japan and only 7.4 in America...

Yeah, I guess you've got a point there.
