On baby bust, feminism and male resentment. [Patreon Exclusive] Alex and regular contributor Leigh Phillips call up Korean sociologist Hyeyoung Woo, director of the Institute for Asian Studies at Portland State University, to talk about demography, family and gender in the Republic of Korea. How urgent is the national debate on fertility? What policy measures have been introduced to reverse the decline? How is work organised and how do long hours contribute to the lack of family formation? What has been the impact of feminist movements in Korea? Is there a male backlash against feminism underway? Why is there such a huge gender gap in voting behaviour among the young? Links: /394/ Girls, Left / Boys, Right ft.
