Incheon City Receives Presidential Citation for Achievements in Low Birth Rate Measures

Incheon City announced on the 14th that it was the only metropolitan local government in the country to receive the Presidential Citation at the '14th Population Day 2025' commemorative event hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

The Population Day merit awards are given to individuals, corporations, and organizations that have contributed to raising awareness about the importance of demographic changes such as low birth rates and aging, and to the spread of population policies. Incheon City was honored with this award in recognition of the outstanding results of its innovative population policies, which proactively addressed the ultra-low birth rate crisis.

The city has actively responded to demographic changes through customized support policies that cover the entire life cycle, from youth encounters to marriage, childbirth, and childrearing, focusing on Incheon-style low birth rate measures such as 'i-Plus 100 Million Dream' and 'i-Plus Connect Dream.'

The results of these policy efforts are evident in the actual population increase. As of last month, Incheon's registered resident population was 3,039,450, an increase of 2,401 compared to the previous month. While the national trend is a declining population, Incheon recorded the largest increase among the seven major special and metropolitan cities.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Incheon-style low birth rate policies have established themselves as a model leading the national population policy," adding, "We will further expand the scope of these policies and share them with other local governments to spread them as exemplary cases nationwide."
