South Korean President Moon Jae-in declared a 'population emergency' on June 19, announcing nationwide measures to tackle the low birth rate. Moon emphasized three key tasks to boost the birth rate by addressing housing issues, reducing childcare pressure, and balancing work and family life. He proposed various policies such as improving maternity leave, increasing male parental leave usage, and providing childcare subsidies. Moon advocated for the state to actively share the burden of childcare pressure on families, offering free education and childcare services for 3-5-year-old children, as well as more housing benefits for families with children.
