MARTIN R Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 South Korea's government is ordering some of its staff to go home early once a month in a bid to encourage them to have babies. Officials in Seoul say the lights in health ministry offices will be switched off early every third Wednesday of the month to compel staff to go home. In a statement, the ministry said it wanted to help civil servants become more dedicated to having children. It is also offering cash gifts for staff who have more than two babies. There are fears that South Korea's population will begin to shrink within a decade due to one of the lowest birth rates in the world.
