	South Korea Economy
		South Korea is now the United States’ seventh-largest trading partner and is the 11th-largest economy in the world.
		Economists are particularly concerned that South Korea’s economic growth potential has fallen, due to structural problems that are becoming increasingly apparent, along with a rapidly aging population.
		Foremost among these structural concerns is the rigidity of South Korea’s labor regulations and the need for more constructive relations between management and workers; the country’s underdeveloped financial markets and a general lack of regulatory transparency are also key concerns.
