Taiwan Is a Poster Child for All the Trends in the World

Korea is like a poster child for all the trends in question here. Didn't start industrializing until after the Korean War in 1955 and then went to immediately to a series of megalopolises with Seoul now having half the country's population. If it was any country other than Korea, I would say that we're going to see the end of it in the next 10 years. Taiwan still has at least another 30 years before this gets really bad. They won't hit actual mass retirement till the late 2040s.
