Quick Glance: South Korea Witnesses Increase in Marriage Rates in 2023 After Long Decline
- The number of marriages in South Korea rose in 2023 for the first time in more than a decade, driven by pent-up demand from couples who postponed their weddings during the pandemic.
- The slight uptick in marriages last year followed a significant decline in South Korea's fertility rate in 2023, as women, concerned about career advancement and the cost of raising children, delayed childbirth or opted not to have children.
- Marriages involving foreign partners saw a notable increase for the second consecutive year, rising by 18.3% to 19,717.
- The government has pledged to implement 'extraordinary measures' to address the low birth rate, with political parties promising public housing and easier loans for young South Koreans ahead of the April election.
