Seoul invests 3.2 trillion won to boost birth rates (ChosunBiz/20 Jan 2025)

Chosun Biz reports that Seoul is investing 3.2 trillion won in initiatives to boost birth rates, including housing subsidies for families with children, discounted parenting supplies, and expanded daycare services. Newlyweds will benefit from wedding expense support, and long-term affordable housing options will be expanded for families and caregivers. Small businesses and freelancers will also receive support for parental leave. Recent data shows a modest increase in marriages and birth rates, and the city aims to sustain this upward trend.
