Based on this standard, Korea will be entering the post-aged society in 2025, four years from now, with the aged population accounting for 20.3% of the entire population.

Jumping Books Publishing House

Korean Publishers   Jumping Books Publishing House The joy of jumping into books   2024.03.11   The adolescent period shines brightly because it’s a time when the doors are wide open to whatever you can dream of. And Jumping Books Publishing House, which publishes books for teenagers, has also been shining in a variety of fields, including fiction, non-fiction, humanities, and liberal arts.
