Traditionally, Germany, a conservative welfare state, has pursued a male breadwinner model based on gender division of labor. For a long time, Germany tried to address low fertility through economic support centered on cash benefits, but it was not successful. In 2007, the German government began to shift the paradigm of family policy for work-life balance under the slogan of "A mix of time policy, income transfer, and infrastructure." When the issue of low birth rates emerged as a national concern in Germany, there was a growing social sentiment that not only the government but also private companies should contribute to increasing fertility by providing family-friendly personnel policies and working conditions. Private companies have been voluntarily improving family-friendly working conditions beyond legal obligations, aiming to secure personnel and prevent turnover. Germany's fertility rate is currently rising toward the European average level in 2023, which can be attributed to the government's work-life balance policies and the participation of private companies. In terms of improving work-life balance policies in Korea, it has been proposed to change the perception of the need for fathers to participate in child care, to make parental leave compulsory for men, to guarantee employment for women after childbirth, to expand child care facilities, and to revitalize family-friendly policies in companies.

통계청이 내놓은 “한국의 인구현황” 보고서에 의하면 2002년 7월 현재 65 이상의 노령 인구는3백37만 1천명으로 총인구(4천7백27만명)의 7.1%를 차지한 것으로 나타났다. 유엔은 전체 인구 중 65세 이상의 노령자의 비율이 7％를 넘게 되면 고령화 사회, 14%를 넘으면 고령사회, 20% 이상은 초고령 사회로 분류하고 있다. 통계청은 평균수명의 증가 및 출산율의 감소 등으로 인하여 우리나라의 인구 노령화가 빨라져 2022년에는 노령 인구가 전체의 14.3%를 기록하며 고령사회에, 2032년에는 20%를 넘어 초고령 사회에 진입할 것으로 전망했다.(중략)

Recently, the decrease of the number of a high-school graduate influences the number of limit matriculation. Based on the resident registration population, we forecast for the number of a high-school graduate until 2022 year in Daegu city. Most college and universities in Daegu city have to reduce the 37.5% of the number of limit matriculation until 2022 year to avert a disaster by prompt action.

Recently, the decrease of the number of the third graders in a high-school have serious influences on the number of a limit matriculation of colleges and universities. The purpose of this paper is to forecast for the number of a high-school graduate until 2022 year in Daegu city as based on the resident registration population. As the based period of 2004, most college and universities in Daegu city have to reduce the 37.5% of the number of limit matriculation until 2022 year to equal the number of the third graders in a high-school.

최근 전 세계적으로 고령화가 급속히 진행되고 있는 가운데, 우리나라는 세계 최저 수준의 출산율과 최고 수준의 고령화 진행 속도로 인해 향후 경제성장이 저하될 것이라는 우려의 목소리가 커지고 있다. 세계에서 가장 빠른 속도로 '늙어가는 국가'가 된 우리나라는 생산가능인구 감소와 취업자 평균연령 상승으로 노동생산성 저하가 현실이 되고 있다. 특히 인쇄업종의 경우 산업현장에 새로 유입되는 청년은 거의 없고, 취업자의 평균연령은 매년 증가하고 있어 노동생산성 하락세가 지속되고 있다.

This paper examined the accuracy of the national population projections for the Republic of Korea produced from the 1980s to the early 2000s. Specifically, this study assessed the forecast accuracy of the Total Fertility Rate and life expectancy at birth as well as total and age-group populations. Overall, the data indicated no significant improvement in forecasting total populations. The largest forecast errors were for the young and the elderly, while projections of the working age population were comparatively accurate. The past population projections consistently over-estimated TFR but under-estimated life expectancy at birth. This study also showed that forecast errors in fertility were substantially larger than those in mortality, indicating that behaviorally determined factors are difficult to forecast.

Among OECD countries, Korea is the only country which has continuously recorded total birthrate below 1.3 person for over 10 years. Since 2006, the Korean government has promoted the population policy in full scale. But, the fertility rate which became low has not shown any sign to go up again. Thus, Korea can be understood as having fallen into 'low fertility trap'. Such a low fertility can cause serious problems such as weakening of national competitive power and even survival of the country. In Korea, due to studies and finding jobs among young women, their childbirths are kept being postponed. In some cases, poor working conditions where women work can cause physical conditions not appropriate for pregnancy. Thus, it is very important to let childbearing women, pregnant women take care of their health. Accordingly, conscious of this low fertility era, this study examined major international organizations and countries' health promoting strategies-with focus on motherhood and suggested some methods to effectively improve health for motherhood.

This paper seeks to empirically analyze the effect of WLFP on fertility in Korea using the 1985~2010 Korean Population and Housing Census 1% Sample data. The results show that except in year 1985(+0.336) WLFP had a significant negative effect on fertility rates in years 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010. The size of the negative effect increases from 1990(-0.611) to 2005(-2.273). In 2010(-0.793), however, the negative effect considerably decreases when compared with the 2005 result. This alleviation is partially due to policies that have promoted compatibility between work and family life. Policy makers should therefore focus on expansion of policies for the compatibility of work and family, and give more attention to increasing take-up rate for the current policies.
