Birthrate in south korea: South Korea has received a good news about the country’s population after almost a decade. The birth rate of the country has increased for the first time in 2024 after 9 years. After the increase in many schemes and weddings of the South Korean government, there has been an increase in birth rate in the country. However, this increase is still not enough, as it is quite low from the figure of 2.1 birthday per woman required to keep the country’s population stable, but the slight increase in it has also brought some relief for the country.
Need to do a lot of work in this direction- experts
According to the Guardian report, the increase in birth rate in South Korea due to increased inflation, job deficiency and changing thinking of women, due to which the total population of the country is continuously decreasing. Which seems to affect the economic and social status of the country. In such a situation, even a slight increase in the birth rate in the country has also brought some relief. However, the expert believes that this increase is just a small solution to the big challenge in the country and there is still a lot of work in this direction.
Birthday increased for the first time since 2014
In South Korea, the rate of newborns born on 1000 people per 1000 people in South Korea was 4.7, which has increased for the first time since 2014. During this period, the average number of children in the lifetime of a woman was 0.75, which is 0.72 to 0.03 more than 2023. Let us know that some 2,38,300 children were born in the country last year. This is 8,300 i.e. 3.6 percent more than 2023.
The birth rate required to keep the country’s population stable is 2.1 per woman, which is running less than 1.0 in 2018. The government aims to reach this rate to 1.0 by 2030. The government of South Korea has taken many effective steps in recent years to increase birth rate in the country. The government has also implemented the scheme to help the couples who get married in cash and care of children. However, despite these efforts, the government is not getting necessary results.
Weddings increase after Corona period
Statistics Korea official Park Hyun-Jung said, “Weddings continue to increase in the country after Kovid-19 sanctions were removed. Last year, weddings increased by 14.9 percent, which is the biggest growth after the release of the figures in 1970. ”
According to Statistics Korea’s new estimate, the population component in the country is expected to be 36.22 million by 2072. This will create a serious crisis in showing the country as a force in front of the world.
