<Anchor> It is a
friendly economic time.
Today (27th), we will also be with reporter Kim Hye-min.
Reporter Kim, before I start today, I'm going to ask you a little personal one. Did you do anything like moving last year?
<Reporter>
Yes, I moved last year.
<anchor> Is that
right?
When you move, you have to move things like resident registration, address.
But, looking at last year, I heard that there are quite a few people who moved like our reporter Kim, or whose address on the resident registration was changed for other reasons. Please explain the details.
<Reporter>
Yes, the number of people who changed their address like this while moving like me was the most in 5 years.
Last year, the number of people who migrated was 7735,000, and 8.9%, that is, 630,000 more than a year ago.
I also asked why they moved, but 4 out of 10 people said it was because of their home.
Compared to last year, the number of people who moved because of their home increased by 247,000.
It was much more than the response that it was because of family problems and jobs, and probably because of the government's real estate measures last year, there were a lot of people who moved, and it seems that they were affected.
In fact, last year, home sales increased by 59% and cheonsei transactions increased by 12%.
The National Statistical Office also explained that this is a very unusual case.
Let's listen.
[Kim Soo-young/Director of Population Trends at Statistics Korea: It is a general long-term trend that (economic growth) slows and movement itself decreases due to industrial development.
With the aging population and the development of transportation and communication, we can go to work and work even if we do not move.
.
In the case of 2020, the overall increase in movement due to housing reasons seems to have increased a lot.]
<Anchor>
This is unusual at the National Statistical Office.
Then, there is a difference in the increase in house prices by region. What effect did this have for you?
<Reporter>
Yes, so I looked closely at the transfer and transfer of the metropolitan area.
I can't be conclusive, but there are a few things that can be inferred.
First of all, there were more people in Seoul than those who came in than last year.
The net outflow was about 65,000 people, and most of them came to Seoul because of their jobs, but many of them said that it was because of housing.
However, in Gyeonggi Province, there were more people who came in than those who left, so the net inflow was 168,000, and the reason for coming in was housing, and the reason for going out was education.
In summary, because of this'house', there are many people who left Seoul and came in from Gyeonggi-do.
It is presumed that there were quite a few people looking for a cheaper outskirts of Seoul, either because they couldn't withstand the huge increase in jeonse or monthly rent, or even arranging my own home.
<Anchor> The
price of the house was so high that I had to leave the house where I lived, regardless of my own intention.
But as I said the opposite, there are a lot of people who came to Seoul again. What kind of people are these people?
<Reporter>
There were cases where a lot of people in their twenties came up from the provinces to the metropolitan area or Sejong City.
To get into college or get a job.
On the other hand, this is very different from the 30s.
All those in their 30s and older had more people from Seoul.
In addition, I moved to Sejong City, Gyeonggi-do, and other regions. Those in their 30s liked Jeju Island, and those in their 40s and over moved to Gangwon-do.
Although the majority of people in their 30s and older have not been able to get away from Seoul due to problems with their homes and have gone to Gyeonggi-do, there are also a number of people who have moved to Gangwon or Jeju, where the risk of infection from Corona 19 is relatively low.
<Anchor>
Until now, I've heard stories about Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, that is, the metropolitan area, but there are areas other than the metropolitan area.
How are you doing here, the situation?
<Reporter>
Yes, with the exception of Sejong, which was relocated by the central public agency, most of the non-metropolitan areas were escaping to the metropolitan area.
Among them, Gyeongsang-do, Busan, and Daegu were in a serious situation, so each local government was holding on to people by giving rewards.
In Pohang, Gyeongsangbuk-do, when a person with an address in another region for more than one year relocates to Pohang, a gift certificate of 300,000 won is provided, and in Jindo, Jeollanam-do, a move-in campaign was conducted to people who lived there but did not change their address.
However, these fragmentary measures are of little help.
I asked people leaving the non-metropolitan area why they were moving, and when I did, most of them said it was because of their job, and then they answered that it was an education problem.
It is more desperate for an infrastructure that can sustain a fundamental life such as work or education rather than a sensible reward.
I hope that local government officials should refer to these statistics when making policies.
