The event will be divided into a commemorative ceremony and cultural activities.

The commemorative ceremony will include ▲a pre-event performance by the Ulsan MBC Children’s Choir ▲presentation of awards to contributors to population policy promotion ▲commemorative and congratulatory speeches ▲and a performance to overcome low birth rates.

Following this, the cultural activities will feature ▲screening of citizen interview videos commemorating Population Day ▲sand art ▲and a parenting talk titled ‘The Cheerful Parenting Secrets of a Father of Five’ by comedian and father of five children, Jung Sung-ho.

An official from Ulsan City said, “We hope this Population Day event will serve as a good opportunity to raise citizens’ understanding and interest in overcoming low birth rates and responding to population decline.”

‘Population Day’ was established by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1987 to commemorate the world population surpassing 5 billion and to raise awareness of population issues. It is observed annually on July 11.

South Korea established its own Population Day in 2011 to increase understanding and interest in the impacts caused by population structure imbalance and to encourage participation in addressing low birth rates and aging population. This year marks the twelfth anniversary.
