<Reporter> The
city of Changwon, Gyeongnam, has announced plans to introduce the marriage dream theory for the first time in the country.
A loan of 100 million won is provided at marriage, interest is exempted when giving birth to one child, and 30% of the loan principal is canceled when giving birth to two children.
In the case of giving birth to three children, the total amount is canceled.
Each local government provided various support benefits for childbirth, but Changwon City was the first to offer the largest amount of support for 100 million won.

In addition, 20,000 jobs will be created by attracting companies by 2025, and workers and college students with Changwon addresses It has also made plans to provide support by drastically expanding housing expenses to people.
The detailed conditions of support are still in progress, and after approval from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, we aim to implement them in January next year.
This plan is an analysis that the city of Changwon, designated as a special city, is desperate to defend a population of 1 million.
The condition specified in the special case is to maintain a population of 1 million.
The collapse of 1 million people in Changwon City is approaching sooner or later.
However, even with various support measures, it remains to be seen whether this extraordinary support will lead to an effect as the population of Korea recorded the first decline last year.
