This training focused on global and domestic population change trends, the structural changes in the three major population factors-birth, death, and migration-and analysis of population characteristics by city and county type. In particular, practical tasks applicable to Gapyeong County were presented, including the impact of marriage, employment, and housing on population change, the design of policies linked to the life cycle, and strengthening the foundation for public-private cooperation.

Kim Suyeon, the principal researcher, stated, "The pace of population change is now happening so rapidly that it is beyond what we can handle," adding, "Nevertheless, we must continue to pursue population policies by making efforts to reduce factors that have a negative impact on society."

Seo Taewon, the governor of Gapyeong County, said, "Population issues are an important matter that spans all areas of county administration," and added, "To create a sustainable Gapyeong, we will actively develop customized population policies for the county and implement policies that respond to rapidly changing population trends."
