4.5 births, fewer than deaths
Son of birth. If Korea is a village of 1,000, the number of births was only 4.5. The number of deaths this year is 4.9, exceeding the number of births, and the natural population is expected to decline for the first time. / Graphic = Reporter Shin Hyun-bo, Hankyung.com. Icon Font = Flaticon
The number of babies born and married was a record low. The number of births this year was 4.5 out of 1,000 from January to October. It was less than 4.9 from last year.
The problem is that the number of deaths was 4.9, exceeding the number of births. With fewer children born and more deaths, it is becoming clear that the annual natural increase in population will be negative for the first time.
On the other hand, the number of divorces was 1.7, slightly lower than the previous year (1.8). This may be because the family relationship has improved due to increased time spent with the family due to Corona 19, or the divorce has decreased due to the delay in court litigation.
