reuters.com/markets/asia/south-korea-consumer-sentiment-drops-worries-about-food-inflation-2024-03-26/
Quick Glance: South Korea: Consumer Sentiment Declines Due to Food Inflation
- South Korea's consumer sentiment dropped sharply in March due to rising concerns over food prices, becoming a significant political issue in the upcoming elections.
- The consumer sentiment index decreased to 100.7 in March from 101.9 in February, marking the largest monthly decline since October, according to the Bank of Korea's regular consumer survey.
- Higher prices of agricultural products have been linked in part to adverse weather conditions, with the opposition Democratic Party (DP) criticizing President Yoon Suk Yeol's administration for economic mismanagement.
- In response to the situation, the government has implemented measures such as subsidies and reduced tariffs on imported agricultural goods to curb inflation.
Doctors in South Korea submit resignations, widening medical school dispute: Senior doctors at major hospitals in South Korea began submitting their resignations ...
business-standard.com/world-news/doctors-in-south-korea-submit-resignations-widening-medical-school-dispute-124032500411_1.html
Quick Glance: Protests in South Korea: Doctors Resign in Solidarity
- Senior doctors at numerous hospitals in South Korea planned to submit their resignations as a show of support for medical interns and residents who have been on strike for five weeks due to the government's drastic increase in medical school admissions.
- The decision by senior doctors is unlikely to immediately worsen hospital operations in South Korea, given their commitment to continue working even after submitting their resignations.
- Approximately 12,000 interns and medical residents are facing potential license suspensions for persisting with their strikes, resulting in numerous canceled surgeries and treatments at their hospitals.
- The government emphasizes the urgent need for more doctors due to South Korea's rapidly aging population and the low doctor-to-population ratio, while doctors express concerns that the planned increase in admissions may lead to excessive competition and unnecessary treatments.

Quick Glance: South Korea Witnesses Increase in Marriage Rates in 2023 After Long Decline
- The number of marriages in South Korea rose in 2023 for the first time in more than a decade, driven by pent-up demand from couples who postponed their weddings during the pandemic.
- The slight uptick in marriages last year followed a significant decline in South Korea's fertility rate in 2023, as women, concerned about career advancement and the cost of raising children, delayed childbirth or opted not to have children.
- Marriages involving foreign partners saw a notable increase for the second consecutive year, rising by 18.3% to 19,717.
- The government has pledged to implement 'extraordinary measures' to address the low birth rate, with political parties promising public housing and easier loans for young South Koreans ahead of the April election.
