In recent years, the population decline in South Korea has become more and more serious. According to the latest statistics released by the Korea Statistics Office, in 20021year, the total population of South Korea included foreigners who settled in South Korea, a decrease of 60,000 compared with the previous year. In other words, in 20021year, South Korea's population will gradually decline after reaching its peak in 2020, and this development trend will continue in the future 10 year.
For this matter, the Korea Statistics Office predicts that in the next 10 year, the population of Korea will decrease by about 60,000 people every year. It is estimated that the population of South Korea will be 510.2 million in 2030 and 5010.9 million in 2040, and then it will slow down and accelerate. By 2070, South Korea's population will drop to 37.66 million. In other words, in the next 50 years, the total population of South Korea will be greatly reduced by 1.4 1.8 million. In addition, just last September, a statistical analysis report released by the Korean Women's Family Department showed that from 2030, the female population in South Korea will exceed that of men, and by that time, the sex ratio in South Korea will be 99.8: 100.
So how does the Korean government view such a thing? The key is to "upgrade" the population from both domestic and international levels. On the one hand, "bringing in" the population internationally: In order to better solve the problem of the decrease of human capital population caused by the low fertility rate, the Korean Ministry of Justice decided to introduce rules and regulations for the entry of foreign talents and visa processing, and promote the new immigration policy of opening to the outside world.
It is understood that the South Korean government plans to issue the Regulations on Permanent Residence and Permanent Residence of Excellent Talents in expressway in the first half of this year. In addition, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea will also liberalize the assistance norms for children who work illegally, ensure the right to education of such children, and explore allowing children who have received preschool education to obtain work qualifications after entering Korea as children. According to South Korean news media reports, it is expected that in the second half of this year, the South Korean government will introduce a series of existing policies to encourage young people to get married and have children, including giving a one-time maternity allowance of 2 million won and increasing parental leave with pay.
What do you think of this matter? What do you think will happen to South Korea's population in the next step? Can South Korea's two major countermeasures "stimulate" the increase of South Korea's population?
