Also, Buk-gu plans to carry out various low birthrate overcoming projects such as awareness improvement campaigns responding to low birthrate through public-private cooperation networks and population schools by life cycle.

Mayor Moon In of Buk-gu said, “We will communicate with residents with the awareness that childbirth and childcare are not just family issues but social responsibilities, and provide various services suitable for the post-COVID-19 era.”
