韓國在21世紀初和許多國家一樣亦面臨少子化問題，少子化的原因主要在於年輕世代認為生養子女會造成沉重的經濟負擔以及職業婦女難以同時兼顧家庭與職場。為解決少子化問題，韓國政府於2006年公布一系列的支援措施。各項支援措施除了以年輕人為對象所推出的鼓勵結婚與生育的支援措施外，為了讓女性勞工能夠兼顧家庭與事業，也推出各項對勞工的支援措施。此外，為了減緩養育子女造成的經濟負擔，同時推出一系列保育、養育與教育子女的支援措施。令人矚目的是，推出諸多營造青少年健康成長環境的支援措施，以培養健康且富競爭力的下一個世代。台灣與韓國面臨的少子化問題頗為類似，本文檢視兩國的因應少子化支援措施，發現韓國顯得更為細緻與完整，值得台灣做為借鏡。

South Korea has encountered a decreasing birthrate for more than a decade. To escape from the phenomenon of declining birthrate and aging population, the Korean government has implemented various countermeasures since 2006. The Korea's decreasing birthrate countermeasures are designed not only to solve economic and childcare problems of the young couples who are afraid of losing job due to delivering and raising a baby or worry about a deterioration of financial status, but also to improve welfare of the disadvantaged and the teenagers. The countermeasures to decreasing birthrate in South Korea and Taiwan have a lot of similarities. Yet it seems the countermeasures in South Korea are more sophisticated and completed. To find out a solution on Taiwan's low birthrate problems, the South Korean countermeasures to addressing low birthrate problems could serve as a useful example.
