5South Korea: Benefits for Marriage and Raising Families

Like Japan, South Korea faces low birth rates and delayed marriages. The government and some local administrations have introduced incentives for marriage and child-raising.
Programs include housing loans with reduced interest rates, subsidies for newlyweds, and grants for couples who move to the countryside. While not phrased as being “paid to marry,” these schemes are designed to ease the financial burdens that often discourage young people from starting families. For foreigners who marry South Korean citizens, long-term residency and family support programs can also be part of the package.
