Abstract

Purpose - Population is the foundation for maintaining and growing the strength of a nation, and a certain number must be maintained for the growth of the national economy. and Amidst the changing population structure where the elderly population is steadily increasing while the productive population is gradually decreasing, there is a practical need for devising solutions to overcome the low birth rate. Design/methodology/approach - For conducting this study, data was collected from a total of 1,000 residents of Goyang city, aged 19 and above. Out of these, empirical analysis was conducted using the SPSS 29.0 statistical program on the response data of a total of 247 individuals, including 156 individuals in their 20s and 191 individuals in their 30s, who belong to the MZ generation. Findings - The results showed that first, the awareness of the childbirth encouragement policy did not significantly affect the child-rearing environment. The perception of the importance of the childbirth encouragement policy had a positive and significant effect on the child-rearing environment. Moreover, the child-rearing environment had a positive effect on marital attitudes. Research implications or Originality - Thus, rather than the effects of awareness through the promotion and education of national childbirth policies, it is preemptively necessary to realize substantial childbirth encouragement policies for improving the child-rearing environment.
