ss: In a bold move to support young couples and maintain recent upticks in birth rates, the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced plans to provide newly married couples with 1 million won in marriage grants starting this October.
“We’re carefully examining various measures to maintain this positive trend in birth rates,” a city official said, speaking on condition of anonymity as per government protocol.

Uhh, why tie this to marriage and not childbirths? Not saying incentivizing marriage is a bad thing, but surely if the concern is population you would provide the bonus in the event a couple has or attempts to have kids.

lol 686 usd. I’m sure that will cover the costs of kids if that’s what they’re looking to offset

That is $686.64 USD, for anyone wondering what that’s worth in American dollars.
Though, I don’t know how much an average restaurant dinner costs for two people in Korea…

This is equivalent to ~$685 USD/€660
Not too much cash tbh
