6.2
South Korea's births rose at the fastest pace in seven years in January, government data showed Wednesday. A total of 26,916 babies were born, up 11.7% year-on-year, the highest January total since 2019; the ministry also reported the total fertility rate rose 0.1 to 0.99 and marriages increased 12.4% to 22,640. Officials said the rise reflects more marriages, supportive policies and a larger cohort of women in their early 30s.
