South Korea: why are more stores going staff-free?

Description:

A shortage of workers is leading some retailers to forgo hiring altogether.

The number of unmanned, or staff-less stores in South Korea has grown rapidly in recent years - from ice cream shops to bustling cafes and bars.

We’ll explore how these unmanned stores operate and if they can offer a solution to the country’s demographic problems.

Is this the answer for business to keep things running when there aren’t enough people to work?

Produced and presented by David Cann
