According to CCTV's quick look on the evening of September 20, in the face of the increasingly severe problem of low fertility, many local governments in South Korea have launched the "rent free policy for giving birth to children". In Eshan City, South Zhongqing Road, a community under construction has introduced preferential policies - the owner can reduce the monthly rent of the apartment by 50% when giving birth to one child, and can completely waive the monthly rent when giving birth to two children, with a maximum lease period of 10 years.

According to Xinhua News Agency on April 15, the latest report of the United Nations Population Fund shows that the total fertility rate of South Korea, that is, the average number of children per woman of childbearing age, was 1.1 in 2021, ranking the last among 198 countries and regions and the bottom for two consecutive years.
According to the report, South Korea's total fertility rate in 2021 is the same as that in 2020, 1.1, far lower than the global average of 2.4, Yonhap reported on the 14th.
As the fertility rate continues to be low, the proportion of the population aged 14 and below in the total population of South Korea is only 12.3%, ranking the last with Japan. South Korea's population over 65 accounted for 16.6%, 0.8 percentage points higher than last year.
The statistics in this report are different from those provided by the Korean Bureau of statistics, which shows that South Korea's total fertility rate was 0.84 in 2020, falling to a new low. This is the total fertility rate of South Korea, which has been lower than 1 for three consecutive years, including 0.98 in 2018 and 0.92 in 2019. To maintain the stability of South Korea's population, the total fertility rate needs to reach 2.1.
According to the survey data released by the Korean Bureau of statistics on March 25, the willingness to have children after marriage in all age groups in South Korea has decreased. More than half of the respondents between the ages of 13 and 29 believe that they "don't have to" have children after marriage.
