| dc.description.abstract | the purpose of this study is to analyze and compare low fertility issues of countries with relatively lower birth rates in the region such as Korea, China, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam. The study examines in depth details on these countries’ fertility rates, family and welfare policy structures and women’s participation in the work force to draw political and policy implications for government family policy. I hope that this study will provide a meaningful research basis to the government’s effort to implement effective policies that will contribute to achieving sustainable development and mutual growth in East Asia. |
