Can Canada learn from South Korea’s baby boosting policies?

Canada is in its ultra-low fertility era, according to Statistics Canada. The agency has tracked a steady decline in the number of babies being born, with a record-low rate of 1.25 children per woman, based on 2024 data. The trend isn’t unique to Canada, though, with other G7 countries like Germany and Japan facing similar challenges. CBC’s Jennifer Yoon went to South Korea, which has the lowest fertility rate in the world, to see how officials there are tackling the issue and to find out if Canada can learn from their efforts. #canada #southkorea #birthrates #babies »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cbcnews Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Subscribe to CBC News on WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6MSjH9Bb63S9tbQa1Y Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» For more than 80 years, CBC News has been the source Canadians turn to, to keep them informed about their communities, their country and their world.
