Four out of 10 single women in Korea don't feel the need to get married. A survey on some 1,000 single men and women by the Health and Welfare Ministry shows only half the women surveyed felt the need to tie the knot.
By contrast, more than 70 percent of men surveyed deemed marriage a necessity. Fifty-four percent of the respondents placed career ahead of marriage. But more than nine out of 10 said children are a must, saying they add joy and satisfaction to life.
Half of the surveyed men and women said they were financially preparing for their old age, mostly with savings, pensions and insurance.
