Is there no family planning in Korea?

South Korea has family planning. The state supports multiple births and even transnational marriages, thus bringing labor.

From the baby boom after the Korean War to "fewer children and better children"

Before Korean War, the population of Korea was 20 million in 1950. After the war, the Korean government carried out the policy of encouraging birth, which was deeply influenced by the Confucian ethical thought of "many children and many blessings" Driven by the unique concept of "being born hungry anyway", South Korea experienced a baby boom and its population surged. 1960, the population of Korea reached 25 million. During 10, the annual population growth rate in Korea was 3%, with an average of 6.3 children per family.

196 1 year, park chung-hee's military government believed that population explosion would restrict economic growth, adopted a population control policy, and put forward the slogan that "the consequences of not controlling fertility are bound to be beggars". 1966 launched the "335 movement", that is, a woman gives birth to three children in three years, and the latest is 35 years old; In 1973, it became "two standards of good parenting, regardless of gender"; In the 1980s, the one-child policy was put forward, and the slogans were "Too many second children", "One child can be satisfied" and "Let's have one child!" There is even the slogan "Even if one is born, the whole country will be full".

The implementation of the above measures is an important reason for the slow population growth in South Korea. South Korea's population growth rate dropped from 1% in 0988 to 0.46% in 20 10. From 200 1 to 20 12, the total fertility rate in Korea was lower than10/0.3 in 12, and the low fertility rate was a common social problem in developed countries, especially in South Korea.

There are 50 million people in Korea. According to the current trend, Korean demographers predict that 20 18 will be the peak year of South Korea's population, and then the absolute population will decrease to 1/3 by 2 100.

South Korea encourages childbirth to deal with population problems

The author thinks that late marriage, avoiding marriage and low fertility will are the three main reasons for the ultra-low fertility rate. The low fertility rate is accompanied by an aging population. Since the mid-1990s, the Korean government has taken the following measures to deal with the problems of low fertility rate and aging population:

Adjust the population and birth policy. From 65438 to 0994, the Korean government abandoned the birth restriction policy and began to implement the population policy of encouraging birth in 2004.

Establish a strong leading body. After South Korea's total fertility rate dropped to 1.08 in 2005, President Roh Moo-hyun established the Committee on Low Birth Rate and Aging Society, chaired by the President.

Comprehensive measures have been taken to encourage childbearing. During Roh Moo-hyun's reign, he invested 30.5 trillion won (about 30 billion US dollars), with the goal of making the total fertility rate in Korea reach 1.6 by 2065. Lee Myung-bak plans to invest 78.5 trillion won in five years to solve the problem of population decline.

Abortion is prohibited. Since 2004, the Korean government has changed the policy of "recommending abortion" that has been implemented for half a century to "eliminating abortion".

In addition, measures have been taken to reduce the financial burden of parents raising their children, encourage transnational marriage and actively introduce foreign labor.

It remains to be seen whether these measures can effectively alleviate the trend of population decline in South Korea in the future.
