SEOUL: A growing number of young South Koreans are challenging conventional views on marriage and parenthood, with two out of five people in their 20s expressing support for having children without getting married, a recent government study showed on Nov 17.
Statistics Korea’s annual study on South Korean society revealed that 42.8 per cent of respondents believe it is acceptable to have children without marriage, marking a significant shift from a decade ago when only 30.3 per cent held this view.
