South Korea organises speed dating to tackle country’s low fertility and marriage rates | BBC News
Falling marriage and birth rates have long been an issue in South Korea. Despite the recent rise in matchmaking services, the numbers remain at record lows so the government is now hosting its own.
In 2023, the number of marriages was 40% lower compared to a decade ago.
The country’s total fertility rate – the average number of children a woman will have in her reproductive years – hit an all-time low of 0.72, the lowest in the world.
Experts attribute these figures to South Korea’s long working hours, which in 2017 were the second highest globally after Mexico.
Poor work-life balance, high housing prices and costly childcare also make it challenging for women to return to work after childbirth.

At 23:41 ET, Senator Jon Ossoff was projected to win his race against Republican challenger Mike Collins.
His victory was not unexpected – Ossoff had a comfortable lead in the polls over his Republican challenger, Rep Mike Collins, heading into election day.
But Republicans had still hoped this would be a more competitive race. It’s a state that has voted reliably red for decades. President Donald Trump won it in 2024, after Joe Biden eked out a narrow win there in 2020.

Votes are being counted in New Zealand, with incumbent PM Christopher Luxon’s National Party and Chris Hipkins’ Labour Party currently neck-and-neck.
Hipkins told supporters at an election night watch party that the direction of the vote is not yet clear, and the next Parliament will need to “work together” and “find a common ground”.
Meanwhile, the centrist Opportunity Party crossed the 5% threshold to enter parliament for the first time as the major parties see historically low votes.
New Zealand’s voting system – mixed member proportional – means most governments are coalitions.
