요즘 신혼 결혼하고도 애 안 낳는 진짜 이유 [클립] | 9층시사국35회 (23.10.22)

The birth rate continues to plummet endlessly, falling from 0.78 last year to 0.70 in the second quarter of this year. Although the government has recently strengthened various cash-based support measures, such as childcare leave benefits and parental allowances, these efforts are proving insufficient to boost the birth rate. Not only has the number of marriages decreased, but even married couples are increasingly delaying childbirth. Among newlywed couples married for five years or less, only 54.2% have had children, and among them, more than half of dual-income couples have no children. Given Korea's characteristics, where the rate of births outside of marriage remains at a mere 2%, it is time to examine the reasons why couples choose not to have children even after marriage. Is it simply because they are all "DINKs" (Double Income No Kids) who are intentionally choosing not to have children? The 9th Floor Current Affairs Bureau examines the cases of dual-income couples who dream of having children but are deeply troubled by practical reasons, as well as those actually raising one child. Drawing on examples from Silicon Valley in the U.S., we explore what practical measures are needed to alleviate their child-rearing concerns and burdens. #DualIncomeCouple #DINK #Childless #UltraLowBirthRate #LowBirthRate #LowBirth #FertRate #0.78 #0.70 #WorkLifeBalance Reporter: Cha Ju-ha Filming: Cho Seon-gi, Kang Woo-yong, Lee Su-min Video Editing: Kang Jeong-hee CG: Jeong Ye-na Researchers: Kim Bo-hyun, Kim Ye-eun AD: Yoo Hwa-young, Kim Young-il Broadcast Date: October 22, 2023 9th Floor Current Affairs Bureau
