Isn't South Korea experiencing a massive demographic crisis right now due to a record low fertility rate?

Yes but the places where this is least the case are those with the most stable employment, I believe Sejong, the location with most public workers, has a whopping 1.2-1.3 tfr, 40% higher than the rest of the country and 80% higher than seoul. Obviously you can't make your whole country public workers but it shows that there's some benefit to stability.
