People are fleeing

Because of conscription (mandatory military) families are literally fleeing the country of South Korea. Some made it to North Korea only to be taken into prison and many others have made it to China and very many even made it to the United States which is very surprising. All to avoid the mandatory military forced on their young sons.

Impact

There are not just bad consequences for mandatory military in South Korea. Men are forced to do it yes, but when they do it, it raises a sense of patriotism within the country. But on the bad side, men want to do normal jobs as South Korea gets more urban it requires more jobs and of course the can't do it if they are training for the military. The enviornment is not affecting this topic whatsoever but on people of course. Kids are scared there. They don't want to be in the military when they're 18 and either do their parents.

  1. Shrinking Term for the Mandatory Military
  2. Letting the men have jobs before they enlist
  3. Eventually let women join so they are not discriminated
