On December 11th (Thursday), NABO held a press conference to announce the publication of the NABO Demographic Outlook: 2025-2045.

The press conference began with opening remarks by NABO Chief Dongha Chi, followed by a briefing on the report by Gahyeong Hur, Director of the Population Strategy Analysis Division, which introduced the key findings on future changes in Korea’s population size and structure.

Chief Chi stated, “Given that population is a fundamental variable for the economy and public finance—affecting production, consumption, taxation, and welfare—it is highly significant that a National Assembly institution now independently conducts demographic outlook.”

Director Hur added, “Our demographic projections cover the next two decades and will serve as baseline data for diagnosing Korea’s socioeconomic changes and formulating policy responses.”
