[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongsangbuk-do held the '2021 Youth Men and Women Club Integrated Workshop' on the 29th at Ramada Mungyeong Saejae Hotel in Mungyeong City, hosted by the Daegu-Gyeongbuk branch of the Korea Population, Health and Welfare Association, with 48 young men and women participating.

This workshop is a continuation of the 'Youth Men and Women Meeting Support (Club)' project conducted regionally from the 8th to the 22nd in Gyeongju (bowling), Yeongju (cooking), Chilgok (leather crafts), and Yecheon (woodworking class).

At the integrated workshop attended by 48 club activity participants, various programs such as couple recreation and standing talks were also held. Surveys on various topics related to marriage and single life were operated on-site in panel form, providing opportunities for all participants to meet and communicate.

In the latter part of the event, couples who expressed mutual interest through the mobile matching system were announced, and a multi-party after-program matching was additionally conducted for up to three people who expressed mutual interest after on-site couple matching.

Single men and women who participated alone in the clubs achieved the result of creating 11 couples (22 people) at the integrated workshop, concluding the club activity schedule conducted in four regions throughout May.

The first half club activities attracted more than twice the number of applicants (110 people) from the recruitment stage. This Youth Men and Women Meeting Support project, held every Saturday over two weeks, was evaluated as a great success with a high attendance rate of 98%.

The 2021 Gyeongsangbuk-do Youth Men and Women Meeting Support (Club) project will recruit applicants again in the second half of the year. Gyeongbuk Province explained that they plan to operate four regional classes preferred by the younger generation.

Yoo Jeong-geun, Director of the Population Policy Division, said, "Last year, the number of marriages in our country was 214,000, a decrease of 10.7% (26,000) compared to the previous year, and Gyeongbuk also decreased by 18.2% (2,000) to 9,000 last year," adding, "I hope that meetings through natural hobby activities will serve as an opportunity to establish a positive perception of marriage."
