🔍2025 Seoul Family Report Highlights🔎

 

: Chapter 2 [Supporting Daily Life]

 

What do Seoul families think, and how do they behave?

 

We've picked out just the highlights

so you can quickly get a glimpse of

the 2025 Seoul Family Report:)

 



Seoul citizens were asked

how important various housing factors are,

and how sufficient they felt their family time was

for raising children in Seoul.

 

 

Let's take a look at the results together!



Respondents were asked

how important various aspects of the housing environment

are for families raising children in Seoul (range: 1–5).

 

 

Seoul residents aged 20–64 highly rated the importance of

 

 

"safety (e.g., security, public safety, pollution, hazardous facilities)" (average 4.5)

and "housing stability (e.g., long-term residency potential, homeownership)" (4.3).

 



 



Respondents with a spouse were asked

how sufficient they felt the time spent with their spouse was.

 

The results showed

a lack of sufficient time with spouse

during the preschool and elementary school stages.



Among respondents with children,

sufficiency of time spent with their children

was surveyed (range: 1–5).







The results showed

that parents felt a lack of time with their children

during the adolescent and adult stages.



 



In fact, families with adolescent or adult children

reported spending relatively limited time together

as a whole family

— including shared moments

like family mealtimes.





In summary, the result of 2025 Seoul Family Survey implies

that resolving housing instability for unmarried young adults

may be directly linked to addressing the low birth rate issue.

 

 

Moving beyond marriage-based housing policies,

expanding support to meet the diverse needs of

young adults is necessary.

 

 

 

Also, the nature of family time

can vary depending on the child's developmental stage,

highlighting the need for tailored family time support programs

for each stage.
