※ This video is part of <Documentary K - Ultra-low birth rate Part 2 Marriage, childbirth, and child-rearing cost calculation project> broadcast on June 15, 2023. <Documentary K - Population Grand Project Ultra-low Birth Rate>, a 10-part program, is designed to deeply explore the overall conditions of our lives related to the ultra-low birth rate phenomenon, crossing the present and future, generations and regions, data and psychology. It analyzes various causes that affect our life choices from a new perspective, such as economic costs by life cycle such as marriage, childbirth, and child-rearing, generational psychology and culture analyzed with social data, future prediction simulations related to low birth rates, and mock voting experiments by generation. The truth about the world's highest child-rearing costs, how much does it cost to have and raise a child? - The results of a 2023 life cycle cost and awareness survey of various age groups from their 20s to 60s are revealed - Professor Heesam Kim of the Department of Basic Education at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology talks about the pitfalls of child-rearing costs in Korea? In Part 2, 'Marriage, Childbirth, and Childcare Cost Analysis Project', we will look into the economic obstacles that cause young people to give up having children with economist Professor Kim Hee-sam. How much does it cost to have and raise a child in Korea? We will reveal the results of the <2023 Life Cycle Cost and Awareness Survey> that calculates the costs incurred at each life cycle from marriage, childbirth, and childcare. In 2022, Korea's total fertility rate was 0.78, the lowest in the world. On the contrary, there is also something that recorded the highest in the world. That is, the cost of raising one child. Every year, there are many articles saying that the cost of raising one child amounts to 300-400 million won. Economic difficulties, including the burden of excessive childcare costs, are cited as the main causes of the low birth rate. What is the truth? We decided to closely analyze the costs of marriage, childbirth, and childcare with 10 project participants, ranging from unmarried youth in their 20s to parents raising children. First, as a result of analyzing the cost of marriage with unmarried young people, we were able to find out that high housing prices are a factor that makes people hesitate to get married and have children. So how much do housing prices affect the birth rate? Through the research results that analyzed the correlation between housing prices and birth rates, we will look into how much housing prices are a constraint on young people's marriage and childbirth. ✔ Program name: Documentary K - Ultra-low birth rate Part 2 Marriage, childbirth, and childrearing cost calculation project ✔ Broadcast date: 2023.06.15 #GolladunDocumentary #DocumentaryK #LowBirthRate #LowBirthRate #2030 #Marriage #BirthRate #Childrearing
