This campaign is being conducted with the participation of public institutions and organizations nationwide, aiming to foster a social consensus on low birth rates and population aging, and to encourage ongoing interest and action.

The slogan of the campaign is "A country where children are happy, young people nurture hope, and the elderly live meaningful lives."

Shin Hyunseok, President of Busan Research Institute, stated, "Busan is facing both a population cliff and rapid aging at the same time," and added, "With this campaign as an opportunity, we will further strengthen our policy research for the sustainable development of the local community."

Busan Research Institute has consistently conducted research on policy alternatives in response to demographic changes and plans to expand policy proposals aimed at improving birth and childcare environments, supporting youth settlement, and responding to an aging society.

The institute's participation in this campaign was prompted by Kim Hyungkyun, President of Busan Technopark, and President Shin has nominated Jeon Yongwoo, CEO of Busan Global City Foundation, as the next participant.
