Daegu Hope Forum, a Daegu City Council Research Group, Launches Study on Policies to Increase Birth Rate

The Daegu City Council has taken active steps to address the issue of low birth rates, which has become a national concern.

The council's research group, "Daegu Hope Forum" (led by council member Hwang Sunja), announced on the 27th that it held a kick-off meeting for a public sector policy research project aimed at increasing the birth rate.

The meeting, held on the 24th, was attended by Kim Jaeyoung, Director of Research Planning at the Korea Institute for Industrial Economic Development, who is leading the study, along with about 10 other researchers.

Hwang Sunja, the Daegu City Council member who proposed the research, stated, "To ultimately raise the declining birth rate each year, we need more practical and uniquely Daegu-specific policies," adding, "We will work to discover policies that can be expanded not only in the public sector but also throughout society in the future."

Meanwhile, the "Daegu Hope Forum," a research group of Daegu City Council members, was recently formed by nine council members (led by Hwang Sunja, secretary Lee Seongo, Kim Daehyun, Park Changseok, Lee Jaesuk, Jeong Ilgyun, Yoon Kwongeun, Lim Inhwan, and Cho Kyunggu) to study and propose improvements to regional policies and systems for future generations.
