South Korea students forced to date as desperate government attempts to lift birth rate

STUDENTS at two South Korean universities are being offering courses that make it mandatory for them to date their classmates as the country battles to reverse one of the lowest birth rates in the world.

Seoul’s Dongguk and Kyung Hee universities say the courses on dating, sex, love and relationships target a generation which is shunning traditional family lives.

Many young people have given up on courtship, wedlock and childbirth because of economic pressures such as housing costs, unemployment and tuition fees.

The steep decline in marriage has given rise to the new term: the sampo generation.

Professor Jang Jae-sook, who founded a “Marriage and Family” course at Dongguk University, said students were being taught how to find the right partner and sustain healthy relationships.

She said: ”Korea’s fall in population has made dating and marriage important but young Koreans are too busy these days and clumsy in making new acquaintances.”

And as part of the course, students have to date three classmates for a month each.

Homework includes going on dates and discussing scenarios such as jealousy and conflict.

Ms Jang designed the curriculum to include dating in the belief that learning from real-life experience is as important as studying theory.
