[팟캐스트] (694) 쏟아지는 대선 공약, 위기인구 대책은 어디에?
Clock is ticking, but demographic crisis gets drowned out in presidential race
기사 요약: 이른 대선을 앞두고 대통령 후보들이 여러 공약을 선보였던 가운데, 저출산과 초고령 사회로의 진입 등 한국의 심각한 인구 위기에 대한 공약이 부족하다는 의견 많아
[1] The compounding challenges of South Korea's low birth rate and the onset of a super-aged society have drawn little focus on the presidential campaign trail for the June 3 presidential election. The numbers alone underscore the urgency of strategically and systemically confronting the demographic crisis.
compounding: 복합적인
onset: 시작
[2] South Korea's fertility rate was recorded at 0.75 in 2024, meaning the average South Korean woman is expected to have fewer than one child in her lifetime. Still, the country found a sliver of relief in the data, as 2024 marked the first time in nine years that the birth rate had not declined.
sliver: 조각
[3] At the same time, however, the nation officially transitioned into a 'super-aged society' in December 2024 — a milestone that arrived earlier than expected.
Observers called for a more holistic approach to devising campaign promises that tackle these demographic challenges, saying the next five years would be crucial to determining the country's fate. They warned that South Korea might otherwise be plagued by a range of social problems: the demise of remote rural areas, a workforce shortage, weaker military strength and a pension fund crisis, among other things.
milestone: 중요한 단계
holistic: 전체적인
plague: 괴롭히다, 성가시게 하다 /전염병
demise: 종말, 죽음

Lee urges citizens to dine out as part of efforts to boost domestic demand
President Lee Jae Myung said Saturday that he hopes citizens would join a move to dine out as part of efforts to boost domestic demand. On Friday, Lee had dinner at a restaurant in central Seoul with his staff in a way to promote dining out to help small-sized brick-and-mortar restaurants and small merchants, overcome a slump amid sluggish domestic demand. "I personally hope citizens would visit nearby restaurants to promote and cheer on their businesses ... which will in turn revive the local economy and become an impetus for a bright future of South Korea," Lee said in a social media post. Lee's remarks came as the country will begin distributing cash handouts to all citizens on July 21 as part of a government initiative aimed at stimulating domestic consumption. All South Korean citizens residing in the country will receive a one-time payment of 150,000 won, depending on their income levels. Lee earlier instructed senior aides to draw up measures to maximize the effects of cash handouts, which is a part of an extra budget as a stimulus package to boost private consumption. (Yonhap)

S. Korea, US continue joint efforts to 'make progress' toward OPCON transition: Pentagon official
South Korea and the United States continue cooperation to "make progress" toward the transition of wartime operational control to Seoul, a Pentagon official said Friday, indicating that discussions on the major alliance issue are ongoing. The official made the remarks as new South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's administration seeks to retake it at a time when US President Donald Trump's administration has been urging allies to take a greater security burden while prioritizing deterring Chinese threats. "The U.S. and ROK continue to work together to make progress toward OPCON transition," the official told Yonhap News Agency. ROK is short for South Korea's official name, the Republic of Korea. The official added that the Pentagon has nothing to announce at this time. Seoul and Washington have been working on the "conditions-based" OPCON transfer. Conditions include South Korea's capabilities to lead combined Korea-US forces, its strike and air defense capabilities, and a regional security environment conducive to such a handover. During an interview with Yonhap News Agency in May last year, Elbridge Colby, currently under secretary of defense for policy, expressed his backing for the swift OPCON transition, saying the Asian ally should undertake "overwhelming" responsibility for its own defense. Retaking OPCON from Washington was among Lee's campaign pledges. On Wednesday, Wi Sung-lac, Lee's top security adviser, reiterated that the OPCON transition is one of Lee's pledges, while noting that past governments had also pursued the transfer. The public has been divided over the timing of the OPCON transition. Opponents have raised concerns that the OPCON transfer could lead to a weakening of America's security commitment at a time of deepening North Korean threats, while supporters agrue the transfer would bolster efforts to enhance South Korea's independent military capabilities and greater autonomy in the security alliance. South Korea handed over operational control of its troops to the US-led U.N. Command during the 1950-53 Korean War. Control was then transferred to the two allies' Combined Forces Command when the command was launched in 1978. Wartime operational control still remains in the U.S. hands, while South Korea retook peacetime OPCON in 1994. The OPCON transfer was supposed to occur in 2015 but was postponed, as the allies agreed in 2014 to a conditions-based handover -- rather than a timeline-based one -- due to Pyongyang's advancing nuclear and missile threats.

Potential S. Korea-US shipbuilding cooperation tied to Washington's China containment policy: official
The United States has made South Korea's participation in its containment policy against China a prerequisite for bilateral cooperation in the shipbuilding sector, one of the key items in the two countries' ongoing trade negotiations, a Seoul official said Friday. "The shipbuilding industry is one of the most notable areas where the US seeks cooperation with South Korea in terms of checking China," Chang Sung-gil, director general for trade policy at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, said in a parliamentary forum on Seoul's negotiation strategy on tariff talks with the Donald Trump administration. "Washington views China's shipbuilding industry as a growing threat and is regarding South Korea as a strategic partner to defend the American industry," he added. "The prerequisite for the shipbuilding cooperation is South Korea's participation in Washington's efforts to contain China." Chang's remarks came as Seoul has been holding talks with the Trump administration on tariffs, non-tariff measures, industrial cooperation and other trade issues in a bid to get a full exemption or reductions in US reciprocal tariffs and sectoral duties on imported cars, steel and other products. This week, Korean Trade Minister Yeo Han-koo visited Washington to hold trade talks with US Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other officials in the US government and congress. Upon his return home Thursday, Yeo told reporters he had proposed bilateral cooperation in manufacturing, particularly in the shipbuilding and semiconductor sectors, as a possible way to decrease South Korea's trade surplus with the US Yeo's visit took place as the Seoul government enters the final three weeks of ongoing trade negotiations, after the Donald Trump administration said it would impose 25 percent reciprocal tariffs on Korean products beginning Aug. 1. Chang said the South Korean government was working to create a strategy on what kind of shipbuilding partnership it will forge with the US and how South Korean companies can get favorable treatment under the US bill aimed at fostering the growth of the American shipbuilding industry. Regarding the auto industry, already hit by 25 percent tariffs, Chang said the Trump administration called for measures to reduce South Korea's trade surplus with US in the auto sector in order for Seoul to get lower tariff rates, noting that Washington views this matter "seriously." Last year, South Korea's trade surplus with the US in the automotive sector came to $32 billion, according to data compiled by the Korea International Trade Association. "The US administration's baseline stance is we should invest more in the US and buy more American goods, including agricultural products and energy," Chang said. (Yonhap)
