Less than half of young Koreans are interested in getting married or having children, adding to concerns over the country's chronic low birth rate.
The National Youth Policy Institute conducted a survey last year on about 31-hundred people aged 15 to 39.
Less than 43 percent of them said they want to tie the knot - a stark contrast to the 56 percent recorded in 2016.
Only 44 percent said they want to have children, down 10 percentage points from the previous year.
