Seoul CNN —A South Korean company is ready to pay millions of dollars to help fix the country’s abysmally low birth rate. Booyoung Group, a construction firm based in Seoul, plans to pay employees 100 million Korean won ($75,000) each time they have a baby, it said in a press release Monday. It will also pay a total of 7 billion Korean won ($5.25 million) in cash to employees who have had 70 babies since 2021, the company added. Countries like South Korea, Japan and China, however, have shied away from mass immigration to tackle the decline in their working age populations. The South Korean government and other private companies already offer financial perks to encourage people to have more children, but none on the scale of Booyoung Group’s benefits.
