Facing the world's lowest fertility rate and a dramatic population decline, South Korea is opening up. The country is now letting in record-high numbers of foreign workers to fill labour shortages and fuel economic growth. At the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, the farming community of Miryang is disappearing. The town has lost half its residents since the 1960s. Farmer Jang Ho-Bin says he has no choice but to hire foreigners. "It’s impossible to find any Korean workers in their twenties and thirties here." Senglab came from Cambodia to work in another poultry farm. Although her contract specifies eight hours of work a day, Senglab says she was forced to work an extra two hours without pay and was then assaulted by her boss. "We are treated like slaves. I felt I had no right to speak." South Korea’s National Human Rights Commission states that as of 2022, employers owed their foreign workers 88.7 million dollars in unpaid wages.
