So if fewer people are getting married in South Korea, it\u2019s likely that fewer children will be born there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/south-koreas-policy-push-springs-life-worlds-lowest-birthrate-rises-2025-02-26\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of 2024<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, South Korea\u2019s fertility rate was just 0.75 \u2013 woefully below the replacement rate of 2.1 children per woman.

Authorities there plan to implement a one-time 1 million won ($726.33) \u201cmarriage starter fund\u201d for newly registered couples beginning in October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Government districts in the country are offering different types of grants, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Busan\u2019s Saha District<\/strong>: Couples who marry after government-sponsored matchmaking event get <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20 million won (US$14,700), plus 500,000 won ($363.17) for dating costs, 1 million won ($726.33) for engagement meeting costs, and 10 million won ($7,263.32) as a travel subsidy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Geochang County (South Gyeongsang)<\/strong>: Newlyweds (ages 19 to 45) who live in the county for more than three months will get 600,000 won ($435.80) each year for three years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Sunchang County (North Jeolla)<\/strong>: Newlyweds living in the county can receive 10 million won ($7,263.32) over four years.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While several cities and counties in South Korea are increasing their marriage incentive funds, some experts are questioning the effectiveness of cash incentives for boosting marriage and fertility rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWould anyone really get married just to receive a congratulatory payment?\u201d one local government official said, according to myNews. \u201cStill, doing something is better than doing nothing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The effectiveness of the funding programs for incentivizing marriage and childbirth are uncertain, as marriage rates have not increased significantly in the regions where funding has increased. Childbirth subsidies \u2014 which were meant to fund baby bonuses, child rearing stipends, and childcare vouchers \u2014\u00a0previously failed to reverse declining birth rates in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hong Suk-chul, an economics professor at Seoul National University, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/news\/asia\/east-asia\/article\/3311639\/south-korea-offers-us29000-cash-marriage-tackle-birth-rate-crisis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">said<\/span><\/a>, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Policies should focus on creating an environment where work and family can coexist, and where housing burdens are eased. Current cash-based incentives, driven by local competition and rushed implementation, are distorting the policy landscape and need to be restructured.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE BOTTOM LINE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aging and declining population rates are affecting many countries, particularly industrialized countries, and will likely lead to a global crisis if not reversed. Though some governments have responded to the imminent population crisis by increasing cash incentives for citizens to have more children, experts seem uncertain that these incentives will reverse the current trajectory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>GO DEEPER:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In 2023, Live Action founder and president Lila Rose interviewed then-presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy regarding America&#8217;s own population decline:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rhuWKPGSAtc?si=O9XQMGri4Tt_wjSP\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some, like Ramaswamy, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rhuWKPGSAtc\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">speculate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that ideological issues above and beyond economic concerns may be at play in individuals&#8217; decisions to forego marriage and parenthood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/G3Bhv6M\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-332271\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-700x251.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-700x251.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-768x275.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-500x179.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02.jpg 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea is offering expanded government-funded cash incentives to couples who marry in an attempt to reverse the country\u2019s plummeting birth rate crisis.
