Südkoreanische Unternehmen bieten Arbeitern 75.000 US-Dollar für die Geburt von Kindern, während das Land verzweifelt nach mehr Kindern sucht

The billionaire boss of a Seoul-based construction firm is handing out 100 million Korean won ($75,000) each time an employee has a baby to help reverse the country’s declining birth rate. The company is even backdating payments to those who started a family before the policy came into place.

As well as awarding a total of 7 billion Korean won ($5.25 million) to employees who collectively had 70 babies since 2021, the construction giant’s “drastic” measures include potentially footing the bill for larger families’ rent.

Moreover, the no-strings-attached benefit will be available to both male and female employees at its 2,500-strong workforce, the company confirmed to CNN.

In addition to the childbirth incentive, Booyoung Group is reportedly already trying to ease the financial burden on parents by helping out with college tuition for employees’ children, medical expenses for direct family members, and child allowances.
