South Korea hopes new speed train links will help boost birthrate
Quick Glance: South Korea's High-Speed Train Project Aims to Boost Birthrate
  • South Korea is launching a high-speed train service to reduce travel time between central Seoul and its outskirts.

  • Officials are pinning their hopes on the Great Train eXpress (GTX) project to encourage more youth to live outside the city and start families.

  • The GTX will be one of the fastest underground systems globally, with trains reaching speeds of up to 180 km/h.

  • However, experts warn that the GTX could lead to further decline in rural areas as more people are drawn into the already overcrowded capital.
