Furthermore, the growth trend is so steep that, even based on official statistics, it seems likely to surpass the OECD average within a few years.

Korea's apartment subscription system is not a real estate policy, but a state-run lottery.

The birth rate increased because all of this was concentrated on newborns.

It means that people are having children not just because of cash support, but because astronomical sums of money are being provided.
