This educational program was organized as part of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's "Population Crisis Response Population Education Promotion Support Project." The lecture was delivered by Lee Seungwoo, Director of Policy Research at the Population and Future Policy Research Institute, under the theme "Understanding Population Change and Preparing for the Future."

The lecture broadly addressed the serious issues of low birth rates, an aging population, and the risk of regional extinction currently facing South Korea, and suggested directions for both local governments and individuals to respond, drawing significant interest from the participants.

Public officials who participated in the program commented, "It was a valuable opportunity to directly see the impact of population issues, which we had only heard about, on ourselves and our society."

An official from the county stated, "Changes in the population structure are not just about a simple decrease in numbers, but are a critical issue threatening the sustainability of our region, affecting the community, economy, and welfare." The official added, "We hope that this outreach population education will help spread consensus among public officials on the problems of low birth rates and an aging population, and be of great help in effectively responding to this crisis."

The official continued, "We will continue our efforts to improve understanding of population structure changes and promote awareness, including the formation of healthy family values."
