This will do nothing. The costs and work culture in South Korea is very strict and costs are sky high. How can someone support thier wife and kid alone? And if women also need to work compulsory then forget marriages.
Low marriage rates are because people don't have the resources (time, money, etc.) to build a family, not because they don't want to. It's common in Asia to work 6 to 7 days a week, 12 hours a day.
Japan's Tokyo government also offers marriage matching service. Unlike for-profit apps, the government does basic background checks (guarantees all participants are single, verifies their income, and filters members via online personal interviews). Some like the system that AI selects ideal candidates for them.
@@ReservedForAReason thats ridiculous. Why trust a government for that . I take it back i will no longer impregnate a korean. Even that one from the interview
This will not tackle the systemic reasons as to why South Koreans are not having children. The employee class has to engage in fierce competition for well paying jobs, if they do not get them society judges them harshly. I am providing an extremely simplified version, but cut long story short the South Korean economic system leads to working people being depressed which takes away their desire to have children. Furthermore the fact that you have widespread price gouging by landlords in the rental sector does not help either.
WHAT THE HECK DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING??? People aren't getting married because work culture is insane there and salaries compared to cost if living as well
Give the women better rights so that they won’t be so afraid of the men harming them, losing their children, having work stigma when becoming a mother preventing future promotions, being left with a single mom stigma without help by the society they live in, or their extremely toxic mother in law culture.
Its funny how womens rights have consistently gone up for the past 100 years but birth rate has consistently gone down. What makes you think this will change?
Well if you wana be a mother you really need to put a hold on your career for 5-10 years depending on how many kids you want. You can't be a good employee and a good mother at the same time.
Everyone knows that the no1 one issue is rent. Rent as in housing, the debt they picked up whilst studying. Their subscriptions/upkeep costs like mobile, internet, buying things on credit, etc. Rent isn't just a Korean issue; it's a global issue. If we halved rent, we could increase the number of people hitching up, giving births, etc. The top 1-3% people in the world has too much say and power. Their greed will cause the world to fail in time.
Pay people living wages as it was in the past when a man or woman can have a job, any job and afford to take care of their family, have a car, go on holidays and own a home. Instead today we have men worth $400 BILLION asking for $8 to subscribe to their social media platform and complaining daily that the worlds population is shrinking due to low fertility rates.
Your just thinking about America most countries did not have most of those things. People had loads of kids so hopefully they could go work to support family
they could sort out their work culture of basically working 24/7 and cost of living. hard to raise a family when you're alwasy working and cant find time to afford to do anything else.
you are the only one who actually has a brain here. It has nothing to do with money or rent or cost of living. KOREA is dirt cheap to live in. I've lived here for 15 years. My rent is only 350 a month. Dinners cost only 10 dollars no taxes. IT'S DIRT CHEAP to live in South Korea. People are lying. It's only the ppl who want to live in 1 million dollar condos that are complaining. So don't live in a 1 million dollar condo! Live in a 150k apt and then have 3 kids. problem solved. But see? The problem is what you are sort of leaning towards....people's expectations poisoned by kdramas and kpop is a major factor in the changing minds of koreans.
Countries with higher costs of living have a higher birth rate than Korea. The main reason isn't high housing prices or costs. I'm a mid 30ties Korean woman and a lot of Korean women in 20-30ties disguise Korean guys. Korean guys may not know this because women don't express this in front of men
Human offsprings are raised in groups, communities after toddler age but not just by mother or mother -father. We are mammals for a reason. There is no use of child after school sitting idle at home, he/she rather be sent community groups created by neighbourhood ( under provision of govt and schools) with other kids to learn basic cooking, cleaning, self defense, vocational skill, volunteering to communities so that after 10, they can manage their basic things by them at home. They can even accompany old aged decent people in communities to make their loneliness go away a little. A kid even after 13 has become complete liability to society as his parents has to do every small things for him like even cleaning his room. Make kids trained and disciplined at early stage so that they could contribute something to society at their level.
Korean women only desire white american, british, or western european men. It is not going to change this fact. They all dream of going abroad for this reason. Korean men are no longer attractive and desire by Korean women because this is what modernization did to South Korea. South Korea will be a mixed race society so Korean men are better off marrying Southeast asian women.
More poor population means more slaves for big firms at cheapest level due to tight competition…..people would be even ready for very bare minimum. It would be survival then….not life.
I’ve lived in the Far East and dated Korean women. The core issue isn’t cost of living or working culture. The core issue is that most women, when given complete freedom to choose, reject most men, a problem which is then greatly exacerbated by women choosing a ‘career’ then expecting the man to be a higher earner than her. This is the consistent factor from the Far East to Europe to America to the Christian half of Nigeria and even countries you might not expect such as Vietnam and Jamaica. Modernity is simply not sustainable.
The government should focus on fundamental aspects such as housing stability, providing quality jobs, and improving childcare environments, rather than arranging meetings between men and women.
Some of the richest countries of the World have small population (Denmark, Finland, Canada, Australia...) World Population: In 1970 4 Billion People Today 8 Billion People
Are marriage rates down because they can't meet people (which is what speed dating will supposedly solve)? Or marriage rates are down because people don't want to get married at all (doesn't see sense in it, risks, high cost of living, etc)?
You don’t need a “fairy tale wedding.” Just work at your marriage and things will work out fine. They need to emphasize that you don’t need to be rich and successful to have a happy marriage.
Who cares about low marrige rates weddings are expensive you dont need to get married to love somebody or spend your life with them. Its just a financial roadblock in a world where inflation is winning
There's also a lot a SK (South Korea/n) men who impregnate Thai and Vietnamese women, yet those children are not granted citizenship by SK because they're mixed race. Maybe take a dive into covering those issues too, instead.
It scare me that we have tons of video and news information that having children make inflation time salary not able to care for the children, but then news channel also making video about low fertility low birth rate , it is disturbing, and i know why, they preparing soldier for WA:;R
It won’t work. Korean women choose ‘career’ over having kids most of the time. It’s the same picture all over the modern world. They’ll have to allow mass immigration soon or face economic collapse. The trick is to get the right amount and the right kind of immigrants, Australia style. The UK is an absolute shambles in this respect. Start planning emigration man, UK ain’t gonna get better.
South Korea keeps doing an awesome job at saving our Mother Earth from overpopulation with its extremely low birth rate. I feel pessimistic about them wanting to increase the birth rate because with more people born, there’s a greater carbon footprint because more people are populating the planet and that results in devastating consequences for Mother Earth because of loss in biodiversity, increase in natural disasters and the drastic warming of the planet. South Korea should keep doing its amazing job at saving Mother Earth with its extremely low birth rate by reducing its birth rate even more.
south korean government probabaly havent heard of condoms. These people dont have a problem with falling in love. They have a problem with rising living costs
Third World countries typically lack access to contraceptives. If women in those countries had choice, they'd likely choose to have fewer children as well. Also, more religious countries tend to have more children, and Third World countries are disproportionately likelier to be religious......
Didn't I read that there was an increase in birth rate etc in 2024 for south Korea?? So despite all the other comments, it looks like something is working. Still very low but it's a positive trend at least. Total fertility rate The total fertility rate, which is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, is projected to increase to 0.74 in 2024. This is an increase from the 2023 rate of 0.72, which was a record low. Number of births The number of births has increased for two consecutive months. In August, there were 20,098 births, which was a 5.9% increase from the same month in 2022. In the third quarter, the number of births increased by 8% compared to the same period in 2023. Marriage rates Marriage rates have increased for five consecutive months. In July, the number of couples getting married increased by 32.9% compared to the same month in 2023.
Getting a partner fine living in a high-rise apartment seemingly no chance of a house with a garden for the children. Then there's the Hi-Tech Hospital
South Korea is statistically one of the countries with the smallest gender wage gap among people “in their 20s”. This is largely attributed to equal access to education and relatively low levels of discrimination against women. However, everything changes once women get married. From their 30s, the gender wage gap becomes the largest among OECD countries, which is the typical age of marriage for women. If men earned significantly higher wages than women, enough to fully support a family, this might not pose an issue. But it’s also difficult for men to earn at such levels. So both genders have certain problems and concerns, affecting and intensifying the gender conflicts. After childbirth, women often need to take parental leave or even quit their jobs altogether. (If men also take parental leave, both could face career disruptions.) Recently, some companies have introduced benefits such as wage increases or substantial bonuses for employees who have children, or they encourage men to take parental leave. However, the problem lies in the fact that such companies are still rare. Interviews with South Koreans reveal additional reasons behind this trend: 1. They do not want to subject their children to the highly competitive and toxic educational environment. 2. The current economic environment makes it difficult to provide good opportunities or resources for their children. 3. Women fear career disruptions, and even if their careers are interrupted, it’s challenging to find a partner who can fully support the family. If a society could be created where such worries are nonexistent or at least minimized for those in relationship, the issue of the declining birth rate could be sufficiently addressed. But the SK politicians are misusing the budget for unrelated purposes.
Trust, responsibility, and respect are gone. You can see this in the divorce statistics in Korea. Would you go skydiving with a parachute with a 50% chance of failure?🤣
just smoke and mirrors. when the pension system starts to stretch people will have kids on their own volition. south korea is still living in a disney fairytale version of marriage and family. Reminds me of a tweet : "their entire worldview is centred on recreating a world that existed only in vacuum cleaner ads from 1958". the quote was related to politics, but applies here as well.

However, the problem lies in the fact that such companies are still rare.
Interviews with South Koreans reveal additional reasons behind this trend:
1. They do not want to subject their children to the highly competitive and toxic educational environment.
2. The current economic environment makes it difficult to provide good opportunities or resources for their children.
3. Women fear career disruptions, and even if their careers are interrupted, it’s challenging to find a partner who can fully support the family.
If a society could be created where such worries are nonexistent or at least minimized for those in relationship, the issue of the declining birth rate could be sufficiently addressed. But the SK politicians are misusing the budget for unrelated purposes.
Kpop and handsome males also created higher standards in males.
What about stopping false accusation culture?
Trust, responsibility, and respect are gone. You can see this in the divorce statistics in Korea. Would you go skydiving with a parachute with a 50% chance of failure?🤣
Why not just let them be?
just smoke and mirrors. when the pension system starts to stretch people will have kids on their own volition. south korea is still living in a disney fairytale version of marriage and family. Reminds me of a tweet : "their entire worldview is centred on recreating a world that existed only in vacuum cleaner ads from 1958". the quote was related to politics, but applies here as well.
Maybe the problem is overwork?
한국의 시스템은 점점 결혼을 기피하도록 만들죠
높은 집값, 높은 임대료, 높은 물가 한국에서 좋은건 의료시스템, 빠른 통신인데 한국은 빨리빨리 문화 답게 모든게 너무 빠르게 급변하고 사회적 시스템이 전혀 따라가질 못합니다
이런 성장과 과정속에서 힘들어지는건 국민들 뿐이죠

데이트 결혼은 마음만 먹으면 할 수 있습니다만
이후가 문제입니다
즉 결혼 후 육아가 제일 큰 문제 입니다
맞벌이 부부의 경우 둘다 출근 해야 하는데
아이가 아플 경우 병원에 가야 합니다
혹은 입원을 하게되거나 하면
방법이 없습니다
대부분 시댁 혹은 친정 부모가
아이 돌봄을 하게되지요
어런이집 유치원 초등학교까지
별 문제는 없으나
아이가 아플 경우에는 노답이고 어린이집이나 유치원이
방학하는 경우도 물론 긴급 보육을 실시하나
어렵기는 마찬가지 입니다
결혼의 문제를 해결하려면 한국은 수도권 집중을 포기해야 하고
신혼부부들의 주거 문제 그리고 천문학적인
교육비용도 정부가 해결해야 할 숙제 입니다
근본적인 문제는 보지도 않도 당장의 문제만 풀려는 것은
졸속입니다
