Women's career interruptions and the declining fertility rate in South Korea

Duksang Cho, Jungmin Han

Their conscious decision to refrain from motherhood is estimated to be responsible for about 40% of the decrease in the fertility rate. In the face of the world's lowest fertility rate, Korea needs to overhaul its policies to better support work-life balance, enabling parents to maintain their careers while raising children.
