It is instructive to compare North and South Korean TFRs (see table 20). In the early 1960s, South Korean fertility levels may have been roughly similar to those in the North, or perhaps even somewhat higher. In the early 1960s, however, South Korea’s TFR began what has been a steady decline; it dropped below replacement in the mid-1980s and is currently thought to be lower than in such places as the United States or Canada. Though North Korea’s fertility decline began later and apparently has yet to hit the line of net replacement, it nevertheless seems to parallel the pattern in the South: In both regions, for example, TFRs have dropped by nearly two-thirds over the past twenty-five years.
