[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is conducting population education for its employees to build consensus on the issues of population decline caused by low birth rates and the transition to an aging society.

The county announced on the 18th that it will provide population education conducted by a professional instructor from the Gyeongnam branch of the Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association using a real-time video platform until the 21st.

The education program covers topics such as awareness of the seriousness of low birth rates and aging problems, solutions to population issues, changes in population policies, and gender sensitivity.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the online video conferencing program ZOOM is used, allowing employees to participate in the education via their PCs or mobile devices.

In addition to education for employees, the county is also promoting customized population education tailored to different generations.

Recently, population education was conducted for 5th-grade students at Sancheong Elementary School on the themes of responding to population changes and the importance of family.

A county official stated, “Population issues require a shift in awareness through continuous interest, and it is important to form proper values regarding marriage and family,” adding, “We will continue to promote population education to foster positive perceptions and attitudes toward marriage and childbirth.”
