Today, Korea is a super-modern society, with a well-developed artistic and media industry, which often surpasses Hollywood production values and revenue.
The version of Confucianism followed by Koreans was even more strict than the Chinese, with a very rigid class system. Its rough and uneven topography played a very significant role in cultural terms as well, as Korea has a very distinct cultural identity, not sharing many elements with its much larger, imperialistic neighbours. The rest of the country is very mountainous, making it a very attractive destination for winter sport enthusiasts.
It is the world’s 6th leading global city with the fourth largest economy. South Korea is one of the most urbanised countries on the planet (92%) and its citizens are mainly concentrated in modern high rises in the Seoul Capital Area, a vast metropolis with around 25 million residents. Global Rank: Position held by South Korea in the list of all countries worldwide ranked by population (from the highest population to the lowest population) as of July 1 of the year indicated.South Korea is a sovereign state in East Asia, and is the southernmost part of the Korean peninsula. World Population: Total World Population as of July 1 of the year indicated. Urban Population: Population living in areas classified as urban according to the criteria used by each country.Ĭountry's Share of World Pop: Total population in the country as a percentage of total World Population as of July 1 of the year indicated. Urban Pop % : Urban population as a percentage of total population. It is calculated as the average number of children an average woman will have during her reproductive period (15 to 49 years old) based on the current fertility rates of every age group in the country, and assuming she is not subject to mortality.ĭensity (P/Km²): (Population Density) Population per square Kilometer (Km²). This parameter provides an indication of age distribution.įertility Rate: (Total Fertility Rate, or TFR), it is expressed as children per woman. Median Age: age that divides the population into two numerically equal groups: half of the people are older than the median age indicated and half are younger. A negative number means that there are more emigrants than immigrants. Migrants (net): The average annual number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants over the preceding five year period (running from July 1 to June 30 of the initial and final years), or subsequent five year period (for 2016 data). For all other years: average annual numerical change over the preceding five year period. Yearly Change: For 2019: absolute change in total population (increase or decrease in number of people) over the last year (from Jto June 30 2019). For all other years: latest year annual percentage change equivalent assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period, calculated through reverse compounding. Yearly % Change: For 2019: percentage change in total population over the last year (from Jto June 30 2019). World Population Prospects: The 2019 Revision.
Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all ages) in the country as of July 1 of the year indicated, as estimated by the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period. The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2019. The Population of South Korea (1950 - 2019) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each year, from 1950 to 2019. The South Korea Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current population of the Republic of Korea delivered by Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United Nations Population Division.
