A survey revealed that women in our country are willing to have two or more children if the childbirth and child-rearing environment is supportive.

According to a survey conducted by Yuhan-Kimberly targeting 'child-rearing moms' who currently have one child, 6 out of 10 responded this way regarding their ideal number of children.

On the 13th, Yuhan-Kimberly announced the results of a consumer perception survey on childbirth and child-rearing conducted among 19,000 users of its direct mall, MomQ community.

In response to the question about the "number of children you would plan to have if the childbirth and child-rearing environment were supportive," 57.1% of all respondents answered two children, the highest proportion. This was followed by three children (22.8%), one child (15.4%), and four or more children (3.6%).

Yuhan-Kimberly analyzed that the average number of children planned when the childbirth and child-rearing environment is supportive is 2.13. This figure of 2.13 exceeds the total fertility rates of OECD countries such as France (1.79, 2022), New Zealand (1.76, 2022), and the United States (1.66, 2022).

Additionally, 59.6% of families currently raising one child responded that "if conditions had allowed, they would have planned for at least two children."

The biggest concerns during pregnancy related to childbirth and child-rearing were vague worries and anxieties about whether they could do well as first-time parents (52.7%) and fear of childbirth itself (20.4%).

Women with two or more children revealed concerns about the relationship between the first and second child, as well as returning to work and career issues after parental leave. The most preferred baby nicknames were 'Ttunteuni', 'Sarangi', and 'Haengboki'.

The survey subjects were almost evenly split between dual-income couples and full-time homemakers. It was also confirmed that as the number of children being raised increased, the proportion of dual-income households decreased while full-time homemakers increased. Yuhan-Kimberly explained that this reflects a working mom trend of planning fewer children while maintaining employment.

A Yuhan-Kimberly official stated, "This separate survey was conducted not only from a business management perspective but also to consider better childbirth and child-rearing environments."
