South Korea's military last week unveiled a new policies aimed at making it easier for military couples to have and raise children. The country has the lowest fertility rate among developed nations with an average of 1.08 children per woman. The birth rate among military couples is 0.83, officials said. "The low birth rate can seriously affect our economy, politics and even national security," said Lieutenant Hong Kyung-moon, an army personnel officer. The army will try to keep newlyweds together by allowing them to stay in the same posting for five years so that they can start and raise a family, Hong said by telephone. If a military family has a third child, the soldier can select a geographic area in the country to their liking for their posting. These policies and others went into effect on Aug 1. "We improved the system and believe it will bring an increase in the birth rate," Hong said. |
韓國(guó)政府號(hào)召軍隊(duì)士兵多生孩子，以解決韓國(guó)軍人緊缺的問題。 上周，韓國(guó)軍方出臺(tái)了一項(xiàng)新政策，旨在促使軍人夫婦們多生孩子，撫養(yǎng)好孩子。 韓國(guó)的人口出生率在發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家中是最低的，平均每個(gè)婦女只有1.08個(gè)孩子。據(jù)官方介紹，軍人夫婦的生育率只有0.83。 韓國(guó)軍隊(duì)負(fù)責(zé)人事的韓金滿軍官說：“出生率低會(huì)嚴(yán)重影響韓國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、甚至國(guó)家安全。” 據(jù)韓軍官在電話采訪中介紹，韓國(guó)軍隊(duì)將設(shè)法讓新婚夫婦呆在一起，允許他們?cè)谕徊筷?duì)工作五年，這樣他們便可以組建起一個(gè)家庭。 如果一個(gè)軍人家庭有了第三個(gè)孩子，這名軍人便可以按照自己的愿望選擇國(guó)內(nèi)任何地方的部隊(duì)就職。這一系列政策及其他相關(guān)規(guī)定從8月1日起開始實(shí)施。 韓軍官說：“我們對(duì)制度進(jìn)行了完善，相信這會(huì)促進(jìn)韓國(guó)人口出生率的增長(zhǎng)。” |
