Foreign Population In Korea Tops 4 Percent
População Estrangeira na Coreia Ultrapassa 4 Por Cento
O número de residentes estrangeiros na Coreia atingiu 2,11 milhões, ultrapassando pela primeira vez 4% da população total. Embora a população de nacionalidade coreana tenha diminuído em mais de 54.000 pessoas, o forte aumento no número de estrangeiros evitou que a população total encolhesse. Especialmente com a Coreia entrando em uma sociedade superenvelhecida, onde mais de 20% da população tem 65 anos ou mais, o papel dos trabalhadores estrangeiros está se tornando cada vez mais crucial para suprir a escassez de mão de obra e manter as principais indústrias funcionando.
