The statistics in the article come from the "Society at a Glance 2014" report released by the OECD in March of 2014.
According to the report 38.6% of people over the age of 15 have never been married in Korea. The OECD average is 27.1%.
They think that women are delaying marriage because they are focusing on their career and getting married later in life. They also think that the declining marriage rate is due to expensive housing and the struggle to find a good job.
55.8% of Koreans are married. 3.5% are widowed, 1.3% are divorced, 0.6% are separated, and 0.2% are living together.
