Childbearing Characteristics in Korea and Their Policy Implications

Abstract

This article aimed at providing implications for further research and policy by examining the main characteristics of childbearing behavior using the data of the '2021 Family and Fertility Survey’. Our results of analysis imply that there are many questions, regarding inequality, rearing of children, and late marriage, to take into consideration in a multifaceted manner for enhancing the effectiveness of policies. That is, we need a more complex analysis of childbearing and its various factors in low-fertility policy responses.
