Abstract
Korea’s demographic structure is rapidly changing, with low birth rates and rapid aging, and this trend is expected to continue. In response, the government has established and is promoting the 4th Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Aging Society (2021-2025). The purpose of this article is to monitor the policies on pregnancy and childbirth that are part of the 4th Basic Plan for Low Fertility and Aging Society. As a large budget is invested in responding to demographic changes, various views should be collected and taken into account, including those of policy recipients, suppliers, and experts. Also, based on the monitoring results, policies need to be revised and supplemented.
