Population Cluster
Research Title
Socioeconomic Transition Policy Framework to Address the Population Crisis
Research Topic
-
Over the past three years, the Population Cluster of the Institute for Future Strategy has conducted core research aimed at analyzing various socio-economic imbalances caused by demographic changes and presenting concrete policy responses to mitigate them.
In parallel, through networking initiatives with researchers both within and outside the university, the cluster has published studies identifying the demographic and socio-economic drivers of low birth rates and forecasting the impacts of population structure changes.
Furthermore, the cluster has worked to ensure that these findings are reflected in policy by engaging in joint forums and research consultations with key stakeholders, including the Office of the Presidential Secretary for Demographic Policy, the Presidential Committee on Low Fertility and Aging Society, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Ministry of Justice, the National Assembly, and various national research institutes.
In the upcoming Phase II of the project, we aim to expand and deepen our core research and networking efforts, while more directly and visibly contributing to the development and improvement of national population policies. To this end, we will focus on research that concretizes and supplements the current administration’s demographic policy agenda, and actively communicate our findings to the Presidential Office and relevant government ministries through various channels to ensure their integration into actual policy-making.
