South Korea's "Asian Economy" reported that Incheon City Mayor Yoo Jung-bok was published on the 18th"100 million + idream"(i is pronounced as "child" in Korean) policy, which aims to support all babies born in Incheon, each baby will receive 100 million won (about 54 yuan.)9.54 million yuan). South Korea** and local governments have taken a series of measures to encourage childbearing, but these measures do not seem to have had significant results.
For young families, the high cost of childcare and living is an important factor affecting the willingness to have children. In South Korea, the cost of raising a child includes education, healthcare, housing, and many other aspects, all of which require a significant financial investment. In addition, lifestyles and cultural attitudes in modern society have changed, with many young people focusing more on personal freedom and career development than on marriage and childbearing.
* There are some problems with policies to encourage childbearing. While some benefits and subsidies are provided, these measures do not fully address the financial pressures of young families. In addition, some policies may take longer to be effective, and South Korea's demographic problems are already so serious that more effective measures are needed to address them.
South Korean society's attitude towards childbirth deserves attention. In some social and cultural contexts, childbearing is seen as a woman's primary duty and a core value of the family. However, in modern society, the role and status of women have changed a lot, and they are more focused on their professional and personal development. This change may affect women's fertility intentions and career choices, leading to a decline in fertility rates.
Increasing fertility requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society. More comprehensive and effective policies should be developed to reduce the financial pressures on young families, while also focusing on women's career development and family roles. Society should pay more attention to and support young families, and create a more child-friendly environment and cultural atmosphere. Only in this way can we effectively increase the fertility rate and solve the demographic problem.
